    1. Southeast VA and Northeast NC families
    2. Tim, In order to document my Jenkins, I've found that I've had to do research on every Jenkins in Southeast VA and NE North Carolina. Once I matched them up and then by process of elimination, I was able to document who they belonged to. It's a lot of research, but the only way that's been productive for me. By researching the families this way, the Jenkins that you sent in to the list (that were on the Norfolk City directories) can be easily matched up to their families. Then you can see whose not accounted for and go from there. I could tell you who I've matched up so far, but I'm not that familiar with FTM and sending files. Also when someone sends you their line, you can eliminate them as possible candidates for your own ancestors. If everyone has a piece of the puzzle, but no one wants to put their piece together to make a complete picture, then I've found that I've had to go and find all the puzzle pieces for myself. This might be the only way you'll find your ancestors too. I'm just about done with all of my genealogy, and when I'm finished, I'm sending it in to FTM and to the Mormon Church. I'll let you know when I do and maybe you can take a look at the ones I've matched up and see if yours seem to fit in anywhere. I was blessed to have a lady in Gates County put all the Jenkins people together for me before she died and all the work I did proves her out. Hope this helps some, Susan of Tidewater VA
