  hello mike: I have a new computer as my old one crashed i was able to have my genealogy records put on a disk ; however, i can't get it into my new computer so i have been spending a lot of time trying to figure that out. As you can see i am not an expert on computers. as to the question. the parents of nancy m. willett are john baptist willett born abt 1822 in union co. ky. son of richard willett and theresa "tressy" hill, her mother was milenda jane (bidwell) willett born 1859 in henderson ky.died 28 jan 1957 in evansville she was the daughter of hillsborough bidwell and nancy colwell. milenda jane was my great grandmother and my favorite ancester. As a kid i spent many hours at her home with her. she told me about the civil war in ky. and her life in the 1800's she was smart and alert until her death at 98 years old. john baptist waas quite old when he married the 1822 date is the right date for him. back to my problems i think i am going to have to get someone how knows how to git my information on to my new computer. i am lost. good to hear from you mike i hope this info helps your friend. j merritt Marriage license says father is John B.
