Hello Richard, I have a connection to Florence Mabel DUNSON wife of James Pope TURNER. Her parents were Reese DUNSON and Julia SAILERS. Is this your line? Fran Steadman

Hello Listers, Since we seem to be looking for queries for this list, I'll had mine. I am researching James Pope TURNER born 17 Apr 1901 and died 9 Sept 1989 in Gillsville, Banks County, GA. I don't know where he was born. Is anyone working on this family? Thanks, Fran Steadman

Friends, Looking for any subject family info, especially Morris', Sailors', Waters', Mayes', McDonald's, and Griffin. Have a good bit on Dunson and Turk will be glad to share. Most of these families in Franklin, later Banks/Jackson Counties in early 1800's. Thanks! Richard

Is anyone researching the surnames Greenway & Sheridan from Banks or Hall County, GA? Fannie Lucinda Sheridan married James Greenway in Banks County about 1877. I have been told she had brothers named David & Jack. I need the names of her parents and other siblings. Glenda

Shirley, What a funny message! I don't mind going but I just recently received a ton of help so I feel foolish posting my surnames. However, they are: PARSON(s) NUNNALLY MIZE MASSEY All were in the area in the 1800's and early 1900's - well, I guess some are still there! Jeannie Mitchell Texas

This list has been reeeeaaaallly quiet for a long time. It might be time for some of us just to give a small intro about yourself and some surnames you are researching in the area. Any reunions going on this summer that others should know about? My particular area of interest is MANN/MANS/MANNS in the Stephens County area. Also interested in MARTIN and SHIRLEY. I don't have much info at all...but it would be nice to know who else might be looking at these names. I get a kick out of the surnames SHIRLEY and MANN (my ggma's and ggpa's surnames)....because my name is Shirley Mann. ha! Toodles!

I am posting this to warn others about problems with ; Census Microfilm Expeditors 476 E. South Temple , Suite 4 Salt Lake City , UT 84111 website ; www.censusmicrofilm.com e-mail ; gme@nwinfo.net and ; sj@censusmicrofilm.com I was lured to order several microfilm copies from this company with "guarantees" of "speedy delivery" and "low price" . My order was placed in October of 1998 and as of this posting I have not received the order or a refund after numerous contacts with Steven Jensen at this firm . In his occasional replies he repeatedly gave false information to me as to the status of the order and cashed the check when mentioned stopping payment on it .I have copies of all documents and correspondences for those interested . Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau and the United States Postal Inspectors , they have informed me that even they can't order this company to give a refund , but may seek criminal charges . I guess small claims court is next . If you are seeking genealogy resources......consider my experiences with this "Firm". Thank you , Kenneth Sartin researching ; Sartin , Sartain , Sarton , Sarten , Sardin etc. etc.
