To begin with I was born in Holden, West Virginia on December 13, 1950. I am the son of Vermal Cline Eplin & Lois Dean (Janney). My fathers dad Was Daniel Freeman Eplin and his dad was Thomas Jefferson Eplin. My fathers mother is Mollie Bawn (Elkins) whose dad was Thomas Jefferson Elkins, whose dad was William Davis Elkins. I am interested in any of the surnames that could help me take my family tree back even further. My Mothers father was Grover Hansford Janney and his father was Caney Janney. My mothers mom was Lulu Virgie Muncey. Most of these people are from the Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia areas. And very possibly a "g" has been added to the Eplin name, my grandfather had the g removed because of a mistake with the 1920 census. My wife Nancy Marie (Connell) is looking for her side of the family also her dad was Daniel Ardley Connell, his dad was Daniel Joseph Connell, her mom is Margret Mary (Lakin), whose father was Michael Lakin and her mother was Francis (Pavlin) Laken. Any information on any of the names on the Following pages would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
