Surnames: MCDONALD, WILSON, HICKS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0d.2ADE/1398 Message Board Post: Desperately seeking information on my maternal grandmother Elvira WILSON HICKS and her parents, John and Ida (MCDONALD) WILSON. My grandmother was born in Boston, GA in 1906 and died in Augusta from malaria and other complications in 1936. She had a sister Zylpha WILSON born in Summerville, GA in 1908 and was murdered in Norfolk, VA in 1953. I know no one from my father's side of the family. He was born John A. Hicks, son of Marion A. HICKS and Elvira WILSON HICKS, born 1932 in Osierfield, GA in turpentine camp. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I would love to interact with cousins and know my lineage. Thanks, Joany
