I learned my German from my maternal great-grandparents, who were early 1900's immigrants ...
The Gish-Perkins side in extreme W. KY is well-documented through a large collection of family bibles and similar things (there was a tendency to place local newspaper clippings, expecially birth-weddings-deaths, inside these bibles). Many of those wound up in my mother's collection, as well as pictures of all greatgrandparents and other relatives of that generation. There was little relocation from that area in the period 1800-1940, at the most they might temporarily relocate to St. Louis, Chicago or Memphis for job opportunity.
