Thank you again. I did email Myra and I've contacted a family member of mine that still lives in Boone Co. to see if she can verify Lenore Ferrell. I will also send her a snail mail to see if the book is still available. Im very excited in sending off for this and recieving it. My grandmother told me many years ago that there was a book but I was very young and didnt take as much in as I should have. I've had this love of finding my family history since I was jr.high and high school age. I hate that I waited until Im 40 to do anything about it. Now I live in the state of washington where I do not access to the records from my state other than through mail. I only wished my grandfathers side of the family was this easy to work on. My grandmother's side which is the Ball side, was done for me and now I can update with my family information for my kids to have. My grandfather's side is not easy. Its not been done before, there are so many spelling issues with the last name, a lot of lies, a lot of family stories that didnt pan out and the information I want the most is in another country. My g.grandfather didnt want anyone to know his past so he done a good job at hiding it and we are a small family but none of my family members have been able to find anything out. Ive come the furtherest. There is only one living child left of my g.grandfather and his stories havent been very true either. So I keep searching and searching. Sure wished I was rich so I could pay someone to find it for me but Im not. Sometimes I feel like giving up but I know someday a break through will come for me. So for now Im searching all other branches of this messed up tree and things are coming together and thanks for the information you have provided for me that will come sooner than later. Thank you for your help.
