In the 1980's I lived in NC and Virginia where I heard about a family from the early 1900's that sang very simple songs but also very soulful. The name started with an H I thought it was Hanson Family but find nothing under that name Does anyone know of a directory that lists the names of old groups. I would call them either appalacian or blue ridge mountain musiciana. Sad songs mostly. Tnank you for any assistance in this search. I don't recall a lot of musical instrumentaion, mostly just the singing.    Diana
