Tis me doing Shinn research - thank you for the 'Shinn Alert'. Now let me show my dumbies - this is a present day newspaper article? If so what more do you know about this Shinn family. Do they still live in the area? I have written to a couple present day Shinns but have not gotten any response. Darn.......
