ROAD BLOCKS IN MY FAMILY:
Looking for a daughter of Clifford "Buddy" Eugene Blevins who was born in Hellier, Pike, Kentucky in or about 1933. I don't know the name of this female child or who her mother is.
Clifford had another daughter out of marriage to Pearly TALBERT, her name is Corrine "Corina" BLEVINS-TALBERT Stealey. Clifford went on to marry Virginia Irene BLEVINS Blevins in 1936. They had five children together; Dean Sr., Jackie, Larry, Connie & Rodney. Our family was told growing up that Corina was my father's (Dean Blevins) 1st wife. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Corina IS the SISTER of Dean Blevins Sr. I am in contact with Corina and she is the one who cleared this up for me. She says she is the DAUGHTER of Clifford. And Clifford also had another daughter born the same time and in the same location (Hellier, Ky) as she (Corina) was born. My thanks to Aunt Corina for her help.
Please contact me at the email address listed on this page if you have any information on this matter.
********************
NOTE:
To my sister Cheryl, if you have any corrections or comments about our family history or this page, you CAN contact me at the email address listed here. Contacting other family members is NOT needed as they can't correct or delete any information of mine.
Kind Regards, Cin
