I know that on my fathers side my grandpa, gr grandpa, 2gr grandpa, 3rd gr grandpa, and 4th gr grandpa are all from Greenup, Magoffin, or Floyd county. Unfortunately I have been unable to find anything on my great grandpa Lorenzo Dow Conley. My father told me that he never met him either but was told he wasn't the most friendly guy around. I know their names. that is about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
