I new to ancestry and trying it out, so for all i could find was my mother maiden "Wilson" side. I dont know much on my fathers side. my great-grandfather was Carey Shoaf i dont know when or where born. or my great-grandmother-unknown name. My grandfather was Joseph S. Shoaf born 9-18-1915(i think my dad said in Tennessee )died in 1970 he was in World War II. he had two brothers, Carey Shoaf and Arthur Shoaf. Then i was told that they moved to Kentucky, my grandfather Joseph Shoaf married Bessie Bryd 9-19-1913 died 4-21-1980, 2 childred 1 baby died at birth.
Carey Shoaf was also in World War II and i think ???? he has 3 children lived in Colorado now decreaed. greatuncle Arthur Shoaf lived somewhere in Tennessee no children he is gone also. Greatuncle Arthur (i remeber i was 15yr old) say that the shoafs was not kin to us because i was excited because i had find some in the phone book.
