This information was on the last Jones rootsweb, but I think I asked the wrong question. My mother will be 94 in August. She suddenly wants me to make a Jones genealogy booklet for her grandkids for Christmas. I have all of this information, but I know there are typing errors on some of the dates and Kentucky is a little vague. I don't wish to make a booklet with misinformation for her or that is not documented. With all of this information you would think I could find proof of some of this. I have been looking off and on for a couple of years and the only information I can find on the internet seems to lead back to mother's cousin who is the same source I got the orginial information from. I know she visited many of these places and had documentation for much of her information, but the copies she made were on a typewriter, and birth and death dates are typed more than one way. This seems to be a small branch of the Jones family that all moved to Birmingham, Iowa or the surrounding area. There do not seem to be many people researching this branch. Is there a faster way to find documentation than to just go through each census for the whole state of Kentucky looking for Thomas and John Jones?????? I know Iowa means Van Buren County, Iowa, but I have no idea of how to find where in Kentucky. [email protected] Thanks for any information or suggestions you can give me. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Wava Jones First Generation 1.
