Trip one, Grandmommy and Grandaddy's House

The first excursion I took on this mission was to grandmommy and grandaddy's house. I was swamped with information. I was given the book that would be my starting place for my research. At this point I was clueless as to how i was going to research all of the information that i desired to know. I found a website called ancestry.com which has proven to be an extremely valuable tool. I am currently raising funds to pay for the $25 a month membership (donations are welcome). Anyways I saw a picture of one of my ancestors who was high sheriff of Mithcell County when it was combined with Avery County. He was sitting on his horse pointing his pistol toward the person wo painted the picture. I also was given a guided tour through all of grandaddy's war pictures from training in boot camp to the war in Korea. It certainly was one of the most facinating trips to the mountains i have ever been on. I left their house that day with questions swirling around in my head. I would soon put all the pieces togethor in order to trace the Kuhn name all the way back to they year 1798.
