Hey Pat, We are still here. I asked about for your Cedar Ridge Cemetery and have not found it yet. Are you sure that it is in Wilkinson County? Bob Fisher

Are we still here? pat EVANS, JAMES, BLOW, BATCHELOR, BULLINGTON

TO ALL: BE SURE to look up all your WILKINSON CO. SURNAMES on cousin Bob's website below...his and my Wlknsn Co ancestors were there for generations, and related to many other families there! He has a great website! Go see it: www.duesouth.net/~bkingery/ OTHERS: David Watkins has a good WATKINS website (my Watkins line is in Wilkinson and Wash.Co.GA, so I'm putting this website in here as it may contain some of our lines): www.inet.au/~davwat/wfhs/index.html And of course JEFF's great WILKINSON CO. website .... this is a must! http://hometown.aol.com/johnstien/Wilkinso/gawilkin.html *PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU KNOW OF OTHER GOOD WILKINSON CO. SITES, or sites that contain info on some WILKINSON CO. ANCESTORS! * *TINA/CA* List Mgr.

*HI ALL: This was sent by someone on another of my mail. lists. Have Fun! Check out Ancestry.com for today and next 10 days FREE Daughter's of the American Revolution Lineage books *TINA/CA* He who says 'it cannot be done' should not interrrupt he who is doing it. - Chinese Proverb

< REPOSTING FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS > *HI ALL: This is a pretty good genealogy site..... census lookups, etc. Check it out! Go to: www.genswap.com *Please let me know if you use it and what you like about it!* *TINA/CA* List Mgr.

Can someone who has the Wilkinson Co books that Tina referred to please lookup to see if Humphries or Farmer surnames appear? I'd like to know to see if I should order. Thanks, Randy Humphries

*HI ALL: PAT, you said you couldn't get into this website (sorry, i dont have it in front of me, and can't seem to put my fingers on it right now....) But I did have that problem..... just type it all in, and then back up and Delete over the last part of it.....go into it under the first part of the url, then when you get to their Page, then go back up and type in THE REST OF THE URL for that particular website. That'll work! Would someone else post it again here for me? I must have inadvertently Deleted it and zapped it forever!! Thanks! TINA/CA List Mgr. He who says 'it cannot be done' should not interrrupt he who is doing it. - Chinese Proverb

*HI ALL: Checked out the site, and looks like it might be worth giving a holler to the person who does this Research. Fees appear very reasonable.... Check it out! Maybe at some point in time we might want to hire someone to do some research on our 'brickwall' ancestor, and all chip in a few dollars towards it....as it would benefit all who descend from the common ancestor --- just a thought..... Best, TINA/CA List Mgr. He who says 'it cannot be done' should not interrrupt he who is doing it. - Chinese Proverb

*HI ALL: This was sent to me by someone on my Wilkinson Co.GA list....maybe it will be of help to someone. Im going to check it out and see exactly what they offer. *TINA/CA* "Southeastern Genealogical Research (www.akat.com/genealogy.html) >Is a new research service specializing in Southeastern States research. >They can lookup individual surname records.
