Hello all, Ditto what Frank has said, it is really unbelievable how quick this came about. Now some sad news. This conversation on the Wilkins had brought Donna Ross to mind and I have mentioned her once or twice on the list in the past week. She emailed me today that her husband Carl has passed away after a lengthy illness and extended Hospice care at home. He took a turn for the worse early this month and was beyond home care so Donna has spent most of this month in the hospital with him. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, I know she is in mine. -----Original Message----- From: F WILKINS [mailto:fwilkin1@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 10:18 PM To: COHUERFA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COHUERFA] Wilkins, marriage record I cant' believe this ..I'm trying to figure out what LDS ...means ....where the closest Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is and where records might be, and before I have my pants on.....

Rufino s/o Maria Juana Sanches and Maria Leonor d/o Antonio Trujillo and Maria Jacques (dec) originally from Abiquiu. Rio Colorado" It would appear to me that Rufino's father was either deceased at the time of his marriage OR that he was the "natural" son of Juana Sanches and later changed his name to Wilkins, maybe finding out who his real Father was, OR as I stated before, it's a transcriber error. We will continue to investigate this. Nonetheless, this gives us another generation back on Leonore and we should be able to follow that. If anyone can add to this please feel free to do so. Karen

I ma so very sorry to hear of Donna's loss. She's in my prayers as I know she is in our other researchers as well. Please extend our deepest sympathies to her.
