Hi, I’m Ginger Kincaid, and I manage this blog. I hope you find things of interest here, and please reach out if you have any queries. I’m not super active on here, but will add new things from time to time, mainly genealogy related content. My current surnames of interest are Ficklin, Dawson, and Young, especially how they relate to the Confederacy. I’m also researching the early organization of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Owingsville. I am not pro-Confederacy, but apparently some ancestors were.
