this is so special to watch. Been thru the floods, the joys of high school basketball,football,special teachers,good friends. I encourage all to share with classmates from PHS in particular
My grandfather is from here I’ve heard stories from him about this place he joined the at 17 when he left home after he passed I saw his mother’s birth certificate from here and here marriage license from here my grandpa use to tell me I’m part Kentucky I’ve never been here but I so hope to visit one day! Looking at pictures of my great grandmother from here is so heart touching I have such a strong connection to Kentucky and pikeville 🤗
I'm from Big Rock in Buchanan county Virginia, about a mile from the Kentucky line. Most of my ancestors were from Pikeville and Pike county Kentucky though. Love this!
I absolutely love this video. It was done with such love and respect. The music also was terrific. I can't even begin to imagine the time it took to do this. But it was great!
The majority of my family on my mother's side were all from Pikeville. My mother was born there in 1933. My great grandparents ran the Poor Farm there for several years. Grandpa was Stevens family and grandma was Little family. I have photos and news papers from that time I still enjoy reading and looking through. My mother's family moved to Columbus Ohio in the early 40s. My grandpa had landed a job on the railroad. As a young boy, I can remember having to drive through creeks and springs to get up to the houses where some of my family lived. Most were coal miners and lived in shacks with no running water or electric, like you see in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter". I haven't been back there in almost 60 years, but it sure looks like it has come a long way since. Someday I hope to return to Pikeville, but probably won't learn much as almost all the family has passed away. On the other hand, I'm still finding cousins I never knew I had...
finding cousins? trying to hide from mine !!! all i hear is baby needs diapers!!! ha ! im here in pike i can joke about that stuff!!! i dont find it funny myself , but thats what condoms are for
Thank you, for taking the time to do this video. My family moved to Eastern Kentucky through a land grant for serving in the Rev War. That was a long time ago ;). I've often wondered what the area looked like way back then. Edit @ 9:12 there it is! Tackett! @ 11:33 does that sign say "Mullins"? Mullins DNA too ;)
What streets was thbe old greyhound Bus Lines depot (terminal) located in downtown Pikeville, KY? Final runs of the Greyhound bus ervice to Pikeville was made about 35 years ago.
I'm a Bostonian and I love Pikeville too. I (and 2 other guys from our company) stayed in Pikeville last Sept 2015. We were there on business and stayed just for a couple days, but I loved Pikeville. Small city, scenic, nice hotels, university/medical school that keep a buzz of students and activity, nice central park, and the surrounding Appalachian mountains topped it off.

I too have Mullins DNA. Check out Potters cemetery. Also known as murdered man's cemetery. Probably lots of your blood in that ground.
awesome video!!
I grew up on Park Street in the seventies. Man, but what a slice of heaven that time was!
I lived on 23 south of the town bridge
Very nice video.
My Mother is a Bevins from John's Creek. My grandfather owned the Spotlight restaurant in Meta.
