johnluke,
my grandparents lived in South Pittsburg, about 30 minutes from Jackson
County. We used to go to Scottsboro to visit relatives all the time. |

anyone need a Jackson Co. marriage lookup? |
|
<Monal> |
CyberLemon

Mona |
|
<huntsvilleADM> |
Granny,
when you come to visit, you'll have to go to the Unclaimed Baggage Center
in Scottsboro--real interesting!\ |
|
<missouri> |
The
Clark County book is very thorough, but the index is awful. So I really
need time to peruse the book again for Lukers. |
|
<CyberLemon> |
were
you able to locate him on the 1920 Butler county census? |
|
<Granny> |
ADM,
I'll put that on my list of places to visit! |

I have not looked up the Butler Co. census for you |

Native American blood. Unfortunately, there are reported a lot of [msg
