Hi Rowland!
   Hmmm,. can you narrow the field a bit????? :-)

My husband is a direct descentant of Isaac Shelby, Kentucky's first 
Governor..That was an easy line. It took a lady back in the mid 70s, and 
who will be celebrating her 101st birthday on Sept 11th -She's been my 
driving force all these years..we still haven't found her Shelby line, and 
she says shes not leaving til she finds them!

Anyway...If your still using Dhu..your records need updating!  Evan never 
had a middle name..It was a researcher back in the 1920s-30s who decided 
the Dhu sounded romantic, rather than based on any fact. Well it got passed 
along to Zella Armtrong and ended up in the book she published in the 
'30s-and it has been published that way ever since..
   So please delete the Dhu from Evan!

So, just who are you looking for? Name? date? place?
