    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5R.2ADI/955.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Faye! My apologies for such a long delay. But I am still very much interested in receiving your decendency chart, please. I'm still desparately searching for my kin: Catharine (sp?) Skinner; (I think she may have been Alonzo Wiggins' mother) Alonzo Wiggins and his spouse Annie Blackshear Wiggins (my grandparents) Annie Blackshear, and her father Hector Blackshear (my gg) Nonie Wiggins (my dad) all from Eastman, Dodge County, GA. I've found some info from census records (1880, 1910, 1920, 1930), but not much more about who their ancestors were, and where they came from. (possibly DE or MD). An elderly cousin (Willa White Moses) told me about my relatives an referred to them as Aunt "Liza" Skinner, Uncle "Charley" Skinner, and Aunt "Kate" aka Catharine Skinner, who she said were of full Cherokee row, but I just can't make the connection. It's all still a mystery and I have figured out all of the relationships. I'm really focusing on Alonzo Wiggins (who was listed in 1880 as mulatto) , in hopes that I can verify his parents and lineage. I found some Skinners, Blackshears and "Wigins" in Twiggs Co, GA (1880 Census). I can't get into the census records because there is a broken link, but I have been able to match the "first names" with a different variation of spelling of the last name (i.e. Alonzo Wigins or Wiggins, and Nona Wigins or Wiggins, along with Catharine Skinner). This is why I'm really interested in your research. I would be most grateful if you would e-mail to me a copy of your decendant chart. This would be most helpful to my search. (E-mail: wjw94@aol.com). Thanks so much! Best regards, Mikki
