Looking for traces of a family in
Ballard Co. My gt-gma was born
Fannie Belle Ransdell, and I possess a picture of her and her sisters, I believe late 1890's. Her sisters' names were Kate,
Inez, Effie,
Allie,and the twins
Hattie and Mattie. Fannie
Belle married "Will"
Taylor, reputedly from TN; her sister Effie married "Ferd"
Taylor. As far as I know, there was a dau for Effie and Ferd, Margaret, who married a
Sale. Fannie and Will had two children, Audrey (Mrs Iulus White) and Jesse William.
The seven sisters had five brothers, of two were named Ernest and Walter.
The family had a farm called White
Oaks...
On the back of this picture is the note: "The Ransdells and Taylors lived near each other in the country part of
KY. Little towns of
Woodville,
Kevil,
La Center, and
Barlow..."
The maiden name for the 12 Ransdells mother in our family
Bible is "
Beck," possibly a link to a "Dr" Jesse
Beck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated concerning this 8 mos long mystery. Replies to my e-mail, please... Thank you
Caroline
