June Baldwin Bork began her genealogical career in 1967, 49 years ago when her dear grandmother Bertha Johnson Baker gave June her deceased husbands (Walter Baker) very old tin lock box which contained old letters, tin-type photos, many Baker deeds, and best of all, an original STUTEVILLE Will. Grandmother Bertha Baker wanted to join DAR (Daughters of American Revolution), with her friends who wer
e joining. Even though she had many to choose from, they chose JEREMIAH BURNETT. Bertha told June her grandfather lived in Wayne County, Kentucky, so she wrote a letter to her friend who lived there and she said it was not true. She decided to check for herself, so she flew from California to Kentucky and stayed with her friend Nell Marsh who was a cousin to the only Judge of the courthouse. The Judge gave her the keys to the courthouse so she could come and go as she pleased. The smelly old records were in the basement with deer skin wrapped around them. She quickly recognized a "Gold Mine" of old documents dating back to 1800, and called her husband and he sent her a portable "Reel to Reel" tape recorder that she talked into all day every day. After leaving her husband Steve Sr. and young son Steve Jr. for several months, She went back home and started typing. To get started, she purchased a used IBM electric typewriter and typed on stencils then ran them on a Memo-graph machine. She has said that looking back, she does not know how she ever did it. She bought her first computer in 1988 and began advertising in a Genealogical Magazine. Junes son Steve Jr. built a website for her called www.junebaldwinbork.com and posted it on the internet on July 19th, 2002 to list and sell all of her books which quickly became a popular place to obtain family information as well as to purchase any books that she wrote.
