Hi All, I am concidering posting the Obits for each week that I find in the papers around Hancock Co. The reason for this is that some people just have email service and not the internet. If you all have the internet and can do the search yourself I will not do this. Please let me know if you would like this or not. We still have not heard from all the people on this list. We can not help you if you do not post your most wanted people. There is a wealth of information out there, and many new cousins to be found. I have an exciting story for this week to tell all of you. I went to school with a couple of Jones families in Hamilton. When I started doing genealogy about 27 years ago, I found a James Jones, in my line, from Bentley. My Aunt married Gene Jones from Burlington, Iowa and I often wondered if he was a distant cousin. No proof yet. The more I searched my Jones line in the census records, the more I found the same families in Carthage and all over Hancock Co, I began to wonder if the Jones kids I went to school with, and one of whom I had a crush on, were a distant cousin. Last week I called a Jones in Hamilton and asked him which Jones line he was from. We talked for quite a while about my family and his. He used to get his hair cut from my grandfather, Doc. Pilcher in Hamilton. He was the father of one of the Jones families, I went to school with, and the uncle of the other Jones kids. His sister married a Taylor and I went to school with her kids too. We are distant cousins, and it was so exciting. My aunt had a crush on one of the Taylor boys. That just goes to show you what you can find. I am sorry if I bored you, but I was just so excited about my new found cousins. left Hamilton in 1963 when I was 14. So get your family posted please. I love to find new cousins. Shawnnee
