MY FAMILY TREE INCLUDES MEMBERS FROM MY KENTUCKY ROOTS, INCLUDING THE MAYS', THE GARDNER'S, AND THE PATTERSON'S. I AM ALSO RESEARCHING THE MCGARY FAMILY. I FOUND INFORMATION LEFT BY MY FATHER THAT A MCGARY WAS ONE OF HIS GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER'S, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE CONNECTION YET. THERE ARE ALSO THE BEGINNINGS OF ENTRIES FROM THE PEMBERTON'S FROM THE TOLEDO, OHIO AREA. THE PEMBERTON'S ARE MY MOTHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY. I AM TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE FROM THAT PART OF THE FAMILY TO HELP ME WITH RESEARCH ON THEM.

THE SECOND IN 1999 WAS IN ROCKY POINT, N.CAROLINA. THE THIRD IN 2001 WAS HELD IN TWINSBURG, OHIO. THE FOURTH WAS HELD IN 2003 IN MAHOMET, ILLINOIS.
