Hi, Thanks - Wow - Langston and Spinks. That is unusual to me, until you see why. My Grandfather was French Duke, whose mother was Leila Spinks Duke. Her parents were Jane Latham Spinks and John Spinks. My grandmother was Idee Langston. Her father was Marshall Monroe Langston whose parents was Andrew Jackson Langston and Effie Hill. My big wish is to find how I have Native heritage. I am certain of it. But can't find any documentation. Here are some pictures. If you have more info, please let me know. http://indecaturga.smugmug.com/Personal/Duke-Family/3620131_wM3qN#206163668_EtvdF JoEllen On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 5:07 PM, Laura Norris <lnorris0841@charter.net>wrote: > JoEllen, > I am related to the Langstons and Spinks from Bibb County.
