About us:

For Sharon, Lawrence County is synonimous with one word - home. She was born in Columbus, Ohio when her dad rivited the wings on Hell Diver airplanes in WWII and was six weeks old when the war was over and the family came back home to Lawrence County, to Georges Creek.

Laura's dad was born and raised in Louisa, Lawrence County, Kentucky. Her mother lived around the corner from his parents house and met him at Dee's. Members of Laura's family still live in and near Louisa.

Both Sharon and Laura have been researching their families since 1976.
