I believe this man is the patriarch of all the Arendells in Butler County:

You may want to start with him & move toward the present.

Answer 5

All that replied to me are correct in what they have referred to in their responses. I wish I could find documentation of Jodie Arendell's parents in the wedding announcement but So far I cannot find anything. It may be on her death certificate. If anyone in Kentucky has access to her death certificate, please know anything I can find out would be precious.

Comments

I am still at a loss about Jodie's Arendell's parents, her ? siblings are spelling their names as Arnold. Unsure if she was born in Kentucky or if she just lived there in Rodchester. I know more about her husbands family but that stops my maternal line cold. She is buried in the Campfield Cemetary but unsure if she was related or they were related to her husband as he is buried there also. He must have really loved her because even though he remarried, he was buried next to her. Outlander317@icloud.com is my email.

I remember poking around a bit regarding your brick wall.  I think they speculate her surname to be Arnold b/c of the other Arnolds living beside Jodie in one of the census records.  It is possible the name could be Arnold, think of all the variations the spelling could include ... given the southern dialect. :)  She's a tough one to crack!

I know such a shame I can get no farther up that Tree.
