Raymond, Do you have a Lester Coakley in your line, born early in the 1900's who married a Brake? If so, you are a cousin. jan At 08:03 AM 10/6/00 -0700, you wrote: >Hi, List > I'm a newbie at this gen stuff.

Hi, Jan My name is Jeanne, My e-mail address reads Raymond though, I really wish my kids had just picked a non specific address. People miss reading my name in msgs all the time. Hey, I don't care, as long as I get answers! I don't know of a Lester, but then I know so little about my grandpa's line. I thought there were only the two brothers but according to some relatives, there were some cousins. Does Lester have a brother Roy? There was a family from Ashland City that contacted my aunt, and my uncle said he was a cousin. I just looked on Houston 1920 census, is your Lester the "Luster" age 8? I think the Roy Coakley I've some relation to is the son of that Henry which would make "Luster" and Henry brothers. I'll send you what I have off list. Maybe we do have a connection. Hope so, Jeanne > Raymond, > Do you have a Lester Coakley in your line, born early in the 1900's who > married a Brake? If so, you are a cousin. > > jan
