Dear Lanka, We are related in fact I have several pictures of your mother when she was a little girl.Your Grandparents ,my grtgrandparents were married in Connecticut where she had 2 of 12 children. She had several miscarricages. Yes her father has an Electrician in the coal mines and did in deed die of black ling diesease in Tennessee but my grtgrandmother had him brought back to Ptersburg VA for burial I have a copy of his death certicate and thier marriage license. I have been doing research on our family since 1994. I have even been back to Wise County Va and Big Stone Gap VA where the family came from. Please contact me via my e-mail addy. My father would have been your first cousin I'm your 2nd cousin. There is few of us left I will tell you this.I have been in touch with Cousin Zea for over a year she has 10 kids and lives in California. I wish I had of know your parents lived in NC thats where I live only a couple of hours away. How ironic!!! Please contact me when you can.
Your new found cousin !!
