Hi Denah and all, Unfortunately I've not have the priviledge of seeing a copy of the Kirkland Source Book that many speak of. I've only 'heard' of the two volumes through researchers on this list and on the Kirkland list at Yahoogroups. One suggestion I made to Denah was to see if she might find a copy of this book at the sale this weekend; or any other local history books that include any Richard Kirklands in the index. I'm the first to admit that much of my information above Richard Kirkland married to Hester Walker is from other researchers. Several come to mind; Ida Kirkland Boyce, Larry Kirkland of Jacksonville, Fl, Walter Kirkland (now deceased) of this group. These folks in particular shared their findings with me either by way of reports, email messages, etc. And then there is the abundance of information shared here on the mailing list with all you terrific researchers :-) Like many, when I first began my research I didn't know the importance of documenting sources. Last year I had a hard drive crash and luckily had a gedcom with my 'history' on back-up. However, when I downloaded it, I misread the instructions for noting the sources and now all that info shows the sources as NANCY.FTM.gedcom. I've spent the better part of this past year trying to redocument my sources but fall way short of having it completed. I agree wth Jeff and Denah; can we prove any of this? Are we any closer to finding 'proof' of the parents of some of these Richard's? I keep my fingers crossed and hope we get lucky one day and sort it all out. Until that time, it's alot of fun working with all of you :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr -----Original Message----- From: denah skipper <dfs01@hotmail.com> To: GACOFFEE-L@rootsweb.com <GACOFFEE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, March 29, 2001 2:43 PM Subject: [GACOFFEE] Richard Kirklands-Fairfax Co.
