I am trying to help a friend research her ancestry. Her grandfather was Odie Irby (b. 1894 in MS, possibly Meridian); the family settled in Choctaw Co., AL before 1920. It appears Odie's parents were Aaron Irby (b. March 1862) and Jinny (b. 1867) maiden name unknown. There are other Irbys that I suspect are related, but need more than a census record to be able to tell.
The Irby family is African-American and I would appreciate any help in locating their graves, obits, anything that could be of help to my friend Mae. Is anyone familiar with this family? Thanks!!
