Mr coffey
My grandmother was a coffey I'm not sure of the spelling.
Her father died before she was born.
she lived in Burnside ky with her mother and step fater who was a gipson or gibson. later in life her family moved to alabama.
I don't know very much about this side of my family they didn't talk much about the past. my grandmother name was ola coffey/coffee. she was born 1896 died 1973. I don't know the name of my great grandfather or grandmother. if any of this makes a connection or if you can help me my e-mail is edith.whitfield@mindspring.com
