Thank You Karen > Hi Karen, I don't think that we have a connection. Many similar first names which is always amazing. However, the JENKINS clan that I'm seeking appears to have settled in Alabama. I'm unaware that they had any roots up in Minnesota. Also, to the best of my knowledge the Alabama JENKINS' that I seek are African American which might also make it unlikely we have a connection with the JENKINS that yoou speak of up in Minnesota. Anyhow, I'm going to cc: this response to the JENKINS listserv in case others might have a connection for you based on the information you supplied.
