About The Brackney's
This site is dedicated to the memory of Vincent Eugene Brackney. 
Please browse around my tree and e-mail me any blanks you can fill in. Also 
look for improvements to be made and let me know them too. I keep this site 
updated with any information I may have. So if you can't find it I will not 
know. I found my information on Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com

I recently fell upon some life changing info for my tree. Family story goes that my great grandfather Cornelius and his sister Agnes were adopted children. Placed on the "Orphan Train" in New York then dropped of at Cairo, Illinois. Cornelius was 4 at the time and no one would believe him when he told them his real name was Peter Hargett.
I have found a whole lot of truth in little Pete's story. I discovered Orphan Train arrival records for Illinois. Listed as Peter & Ruth Hargett they were adopted into the Brackney Family in 1893.
