Borg means "Castle"

I'm looking for information about the Borgs...especially the family of Ole Peter. I know someone must know something! I only have information about Ole Peter's parents and grandparents. I don't have much about Ole Peter's wife, Josephine Nielsen, either, except her parents' names (Hans and Nicolina).

Can anyone take a crack at the Petersen line? Hazel Alberta Lisonbee (Robert Lamar Borg's mother)'s mother is Sarah Petersen, and her father and mother are Niels Petersen and Bertha Mary Larsen from Salt Lake County, Utah, according the records I have. I'd like to find out where this family migrated from, or emigrated from.

Burning Questions

Family history research is like detective work. The clues aren't obvious at first, and names, dates and facts usually require a great deal of "investigating" to uncover. Every now and then, an ancestor seems to have vanished altogether without a trace. I was recently in touch with my Great Aunt Liz, who has generations' worth of information about my Grandpa Jenkins' parents and their ancestors, and with my Great Uncle Bob, who I hope can help me find out more about my father's mother's ancestry. These are the questions I hope to find answers to: (if you have any information, please let me know!)

Questions for the Jenkins:

• What are the names of Harry Thornton Jenkins' mother and father?
• What was Sidney Hall's mother Lillie M.'s, maiden name?
• Who were the parents of Frank E. Goodman and his wife Ressie?

Questions for the Hedgepeths:

• What was the name of Rufus Hedgepeth's first wife?
• Is Rufus' mother's name Jemima Elsie or Elsie Jemima? Where were her parents from?
• Who are the grandparents of Wilma Sue Bryant?

Hedgepeth Road

I recently discovered a road located in Canmer, Kentucky named after my ancestors, the Hedgepeths. Many of the Hedgepeth descendents still reside in Canmer, Kentucky (about 80 miles outside of Louiseville, Kentucky, and not far from Hardyville, where Rufus Hedgepeth was born). In fact, located on Hedgepeth Road is Hedgepeth Supply, still open for business.

Below is a map and the link; follow the link to Hedgepeth Road to see a picture. It's rather scenic!

I found Cora Bell!

For more than two years, I have been searching for Cora Bell Hedgepeth, wife of Rufus A. Hedgepeth. I finally uncovered a record of her death, through an obituary posted on RootsWeb. In addition to her maiden name and the names of her surviving children and their spouses, it also offers history from her life in Kentucky and list other records - census, marriage, etc. - of Cora Bell Mitchell Hedgepeth's life. This record has so far linked me to another two generations - her parents and their parents. This was a golden find!
