Hi All and happy New Year,
I'm from Mapleton, Utah, abt 5 miles south of Provo.
I have been searching for my ancestors for years, but they are pretty elusive.
Especially my ancestors from the south. NC and KY.
One day about 1785 they just flew in from who knows where and settled .
Pretty unusual names like HUNTER, ROBERTSON, NICHOLS< PHIPPS my they fell from a UFO, who knows!
Anyway I'm determined to find them.
I've enjoyed all the fun and info from y'all
