Looking for descendants of Michael Ignatius Head (Owensboro, KY)
My husband's grandfather was William Gerald Head b-1907. William Gerald was the son of Michael Ignatius & Ruth Anna Head. William Gerald married Evelyn Aplona Jarboe in 1928 and had a son (my father-in-law) in 1929. Sadly, William Gerald passed away in March 1930, a few months after my father-in-law (who is now deceased) was born. We are just starting our research into the "Head" family and would appreciate anything you could share with us. Thank you!

Hi Kimberly. I just stumbled upon your post by accident. I am a "Head" decendent and I know for a fact that I had early relatives in the Owensboro area. Also, the name, "Ignatius" is a name that is familiar to me (hearing my grandparents talk of relatives.) My grandmother has an old geneology book belonging to my grandfather's family (Grover Cleveland Head, Jr.) I will be visiting her on Sunday and can look to see if the name Michael Ignatius is listed anywhere. It might be a long shot for you, but I can check and see.

Hi Mary Beth, thank you! I had pretty much given up that anyone would respond to my query. We were in Owensboro last week looking at cemeteries for the first time. We hope to make a trip again next year when we get back to the Midwest. (We live in San Diego). I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello again. I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure we have a match. My great, great grandfather was Atha Ignatius Head. Born Feb 16, 1857 in Daviess County, KY. As far as his parents, I am unsure? I have been trying this morning to find more information, but at this point, that's all I have.

Thank you for checking, but it doesn't appear to be a match. The Michael Ignatius we are researching was born in 1864. I really appreciate your help.
