My father was from Kentucky, so depending on where you were at, you probably knew some of my relatives. (I think we are probably all over the place there by now).

I've done a lot of genealogy research, and I have relatives all through Kentucky. His last name was Asher, but if you knew any Brocks, Binghams, Brices, Howards, Blantons, Fees, Slushers, or just about any of the other families of eastern Kentucky, you knew some of my relatives.

I went back there a couple of years ago to the Asher family reunion, and saw a log cabin my great great great grandfather Dillion Asher built back in 1795 or so. The whole thing is pretty fascinating to me, I've traced quite a few of the families, and watching the way they intertwined is like watching a history of the world. It really makes you aware of how much the family of man is really just ONE family, in the realest sense.

The people of that area didn't move around a lot. It was a bit of an isolated community with new people moving in from time to time and some moving away, but to have your own family stay in the same place for 200 some years is interesting. It makes me think that in earlier times and other places that was probably more the norm than it is now.
