Hi Melody, I don't have your L.J Kirkland anywhere in my database. Would you mind sharing the info you have on him and his ties to the Kirkland lines? If time doesn't permit sending the majority of info, if you could just show me how and where he fits into the picture so I can add him to my lines :-) Thanks, Nancy E Parr -----Original Message----- From: Melody <mmccook@bellsouth.net> To: GACOFFEE-L@rootsweb.com <GACOFFEE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, March 02, 2001 6:54 PM Subject: [GACOFFEE] Family lines My grandmother was the daughter of L. J. Kirkland and Laura McGovern, so we can go back there to Richard Kirkland, through both Joshua and Moses Kirkland. Laura's parents were Thomas McGovern and Adeline Ricketson, so the Ricketson family connects through to the Sears, Nobles, and Arnold family.
