Hya John- Maybe the list needs some jiggling, wonder if the list owner wants to wake it up ? Marcie - My Finks I am working on are mainly the oregon one's to start . My Mom married a Fink and he died when my sister was still in baby blankets, from pneumonia , he was a logger , thats all I know so far. I am helping my sister out on this one , she would like to know a little of that family , she is 60 now. I am a listowner as well , but when you have a brick wall you need all the connections you can get . _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* Dan Matney Genealogy Community Support Site http://www.angelfire.com/or/matney -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- ----- Original Message ----- From: John McDonald <jmcd@oro.net> To: <FINK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 1999 7:15 AM Subject: Fink/Illinois > I saw Dan's message - first one I've seen on this list, but I haven't been on for long. > > Here's my Fink family, in case anyone is listening.
