I would also appreciate receiving a copy of the Jones "e-book" when it is available. Please send it to the address in my sigline below. Strangely enough, my Jones ancestor was not only living during my lifetime, but is one of my major 17-year "brick walls." Following is her basic information: Name - Ida M. Jones (no idea what the "M." stands for) Birth - 19 Jan 1867 in Indiana Married - James Ernest Oliver in Marion County, Indiana Died - 1 Nov 1966 in Miami, Dade County, Florida I very recently discovered her parents' names, Henry Jones & Jennie Russell but I know absolutely nothing more about them than just that, no details whatsoever. I am hoping maybe this "Jones e-book" may shed some light on what has been a very frustrating search, but in the meantime if anyone else has even a small fragment of information on her or her parents, I would very much welcome hearing from you. Ida M. Jones was my g-grandmother, but my immediate family lost contact with her for a great many years. When I started working on the family genealogy 17 or 18 years ago I tried to find something on "my Jones line" at a time when I did not even know a birth surname for her. My wife and I still laugh about the time I discovered her maiden surname about two years ago, and the "shriek" I let out when I found it! Unfortunately, when I found it after all those years it was Jones, and given the number of Joneses in the world to look through, it only confirmed that "were it not for my bad luck I would not have any luck at all." And the search goes on. . . . . David E. Cann decann@infionline.net
