Just to clarify a few things my experiences - lol I Was born up north in a big metro city by western ky parents who left here when they were 15 yo & 18 yo. Both family sides came here together in 1830 after they had opened up this Jackson Purchase Area ------------My bloodline is definitely - well -established in this region of many counties. So at an early age in the 1950s we visited here! Back during that time not many had indoor plumbing nor electricity.--------------Still living off the land as if they were amish /mennonite groups! Many were hard working farm dwellers w/ little education. They hadlarge families to support their Family Farm-life style! So yes I found out that they are a VERY-TIGHT NIT COMMUNITY CIRCLE- LOL ! Where & when I learned @ a very early age of whos -WHO & whats- What??????????? in any small country american town you will have this type of existence! They are very much of CLAN Community a group of close-knit and interrelated families. I studied exactly my Family history & DNA of those here & they are incomplete SHOCK that I know more about them than they do themselves lol I have been in this region for 15 yrs since retiring! I am still know as a Yankee-Kin transplant wink!! It does not bother me at all! As I accept & know that the same BLOOD is in our GENES! lol My family trees roots -came out of Maryland to North Carolina to Tennessee then here to Western KY. & my branches grew out of Michigan! I am so glad that God gave me the knowledge of both -------------City & Country Life- Styles> So Seriously where-ever you go or end up @ - Be sure to alwayz understand that U are in their Territory/Area/City/State ------------and it is up to U & U alone to adjust to that environment! When I came bak here I had very HIGH EXPECTATIONS ----------------Only to receive very disappointing results! But by it al I have learned more bout life & what some have & some don't!
