So I went looking through the archives and I found an old email from me with the answer to my questions, Of course I didnt know it then but I had the answers way back when. (remember....I lost everything I had collected then so I had to start over.) Looks like its back to Jackson County for the records again Thanks again, Crystal

Crystal, try checking the Farris list archives someone may have posted something in the last four or five years that may not be a member of the list now. Estelle Farris. Just a grin. My niece is named Crystal Farris she married Bradley Moran.here in Louisiana not far from Baton Rouge our state capital. Ef

Justin, I have not seen documentation, and I know that I shouldnt add them into my tree yet until I do, Figured I would ask you all to see if anyone here is related to them first. Once i get a chance, which will probably be never, between work and my 18 month old, I have no spare time, Ill drive on over to Jackson County and check court records until then, I can only hope someone else will know my family :)) Thanks Crystal
