Thank you guys so much for your response to my question on religion. It turns out that most Jenkins are Baptist! I think Patsy said that they went the way their wife went...mostly. Which is what I think they did too. Two sent me messages that said they were Catholics, then 2 or 3 said Methodist, 1 Presbyterian, but mostly it was Baptist. Thanks cuzzins, you are all so good to me. Maybe I will figure out this orphanage thing yet...huh? As far back as I knew, (just with my dad telling me that his dad was Baptist...that really isn't very far!..is it?) the Jenkins were Baptist. "But", with my granny telling me that the children were put into a "Catholic orphanage, and there was a crusifix on the wall of great grand dad's house when she married grand daddy, that makes me think maybe either great grand dad was "raised " Catholic from the orphanage, or maybe the family was Catholic. Anyway, I need to check the Catholic church for records of great grand dad's birth, cause they keep tons of records, I have heard. Thanks so much guys, Susan of Tidewater, VA
