Re: Donna ping North carolina
The given names John and Thomas were quite common in the Ping family for males, unfortunately. What would be helpful here is the name of someone who would have been living in 1940 (the most recent year for which census data is publicly available), along with some approximate dates and (especially) p...

Re: Introduction
I'd have to rummage through the database a bit, but the Barnes family of Pulaski County, KY crossed paths with the Pings more than once. A pattern that I have noticed is that members of the group whose more recent ancestors (we'll use great grandparents as a good example) were born and raised outsid...

Re: Richard Bullock (1740-1793)
There weren't a lot of people in Pulaski County, KY early on, and the early settler families intermarried quite a bit. By the start of the twentieth century, most of the people living in the area were cousins of some degree or another with almost everyone else. On my paternal side (both grandparents...

Re: Jan Garfield Bullock (1953-2019)
If you nose around the Facebook site, you'll see some comments he made about trying to set up a collaborative family tree document/project. I was surprised at how difficult it is to set up a large (over 1MB) document online that's capable of being edited by multiple users. Google Docs can't handle a...

Richard Bullock (1740-1793)
While details are somewhat sketchy, the majority of researchers accept the existence of Richard Bullock and his role as an ancestor of most of the descendants of John Ping (1740-1823). It appears that his wife's name was Elizabeth. No certain record of her maiden name exists; there are some theories...

Jan Garfield Bullock (1953-2019)
I learned today of the passing of Jan Bullock. It's likely many of you were unfamiliar with him. While I never met him in person, he and I shared a great deal of our research over the years, most particularly on the Ping and Bullock families of southeastern Kentucky. Jan was a descendant of Jesse Bo...

Re: Finding John Ping Sr. Dad
Usage of the terms "Senior" and "Junior" was different in the past than what we today are accustomed to; that's led to any number of errors by more genealogists than you can shake a stick at. We're used to those terms implying a father-son relationship. Back in the day, people simply used those two ...

Board Setup Hassles
It's been a rough couple of days trying to get things set up. I wasn't 100% sure that phpBB was the best possible solution for getting things up and running, but at least it does work. Plan "A" was to build the HTML code for all the pages here at home, and just upload them onto the Web server. Unfor...
