This family has been a stinker from the moment I decided to research it. While I have had a few break-throughs, for the most part, it has remained elusive.
People just seem to have dropped off the face of the planet, or gone into hiding.
Courthouses have burned, graves were left without headstones, soldiers disappeared, wives fled the county, tall tales that turned into legends have been told, and whole decades slipped away without a clue. I dedicate this site to my Albey ancestors, who left me this inheritance.
