Hello Sherri, Are your Johnston's from Arkansas? I will check my mothers listing for the names you mentioned this weekend. WE have James', Sterling's, and George's. My gr gr Grandfather was Iredell Johnston b abt 1820 in NC. He lived in Alabama then moved to Arkansas after the Civil War. His brother Sterling died in Ga before the civil war, but Sterling's sons (George and Julius) also moved into Alabama and Arkansas. The names continue to run in the family from that time. There are few Sterling Johnston's... I am hoping we are related somewhere down the road! You might try contacting Clan Johnston. They have a genealogist who keeps track of the various Johnston families who join the organization. Also look for county/state and surname mailing lists on rootsweb. You could post a note there. Good Luck, Debbi
