I am the daughter of Donald Ray & Betty Lou (Shanholtz) Adkins; the granddaughter of Bernie Blackburn & Daisy Delphia (Ferrell) Adkins and John Wesley & Hazel Frances (Burns) Shanholtz. The great-granddaughter of Wilbert William & Martha Jane (Adkins) Adkins, Major Smith & Nettie Lea (McClara) Ferrell, Robert Hiett Harris & Martha Virginia (Hawkins) Shanholtz and William Francis Marion & Vitra (Adkins) Burns. I love genealogy and would love to be out doing hands-on work in the cemeteries of Lincoln County WV but I have health issues that prevent me from driving (never learned) and at the moment osteoarthritis is preventing me from walking. So what I'm doing is from my iPhone and laptop. 

I don't have a decent photo that has been taken anytime recently so the one on here is from the 1990's. Yes that IS a Billy Ray Cyrus t-shirt. I used to like listening to him and even met him but not anymore. I still like his old music but that family has problems and need prayer.


I gladly do transfers as long as it's not my family's memorials. Even then if you prove you are closer related than I am I will transfer. That is the rules and I will follow them.
