I have been unable to find records for my great grandmother.  She was called Mollie Napier, but also Mary, maybe Martha.  She married my great grandfather Thomas Morgan.  My grandmother was Mattie Morgan.  I think my gr.grandmother had a daughter Victoria, in 1891 then in 1896 had a son (unknown name) and in 1896 all 3 died of the measles.  I have her born around 1868, Clay County, Kentucky and died in Hyden Kentucky.

Kathy, it will help other people help you if you add the ancestors you know about to WikiTree, with sources, of course.
Welcome to WikiTree, Kathy. You have come to what I think is the best place on the internet to work together to form one large tree.

I'm going to add some tags to your post to get the attention of others interested and knowledgeable about those families and locations.

I look forward to seeing your twig grow within the branches of WikiTree.

That's so sad. Like Julie said, the next step is to add these profiles. Once you do, you can find sources by clicking on the handy Roots search tool on the right side of any profile. Log in with your Wikitree ID and password. I suggest starting at family search. Once you find a correct source, copy and paste the citation given into the profile. It can be found under Document info.

Hope that helps! Drop back here to the forum if you have any other questions.
