Jerry, The JONES DEMOLITION DERBY is really a terrific idea however, the logistics and format could really turn out to be a massive undertaking. As an optimum the format/display of the information exchanged would be best served in some sort of formatted data base to permit a uniform display of the exchanged information, i.e location, birth-death dates, spouse children etc.,. Also merging of historical comments such as those you have been providing would be of great interest. Perhaps this could be best accomplished if the participants were provided a format for which the information could be submitted or exchanged. Although this may be only Labor Day weekend effort, I would hope that at least a web page containing the submitted data be available for display, search and retrieval. Also this data base scenario should be so constructed to permit future submission of additional JONES family data as time goes on. I'm sure that you appreciate the fact that the more data you have to work with the better the chances to tear down that proverbial "brick wall". As a suggestion, maybe the folks at ROOTSWEB.COM could provide some software assistance for this. Also if volunteers are needed I am available to provide any help for which I'm qualified.
