Surnames: Oaks- Oakes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XBB.2ACE/22.23.25.1.2 Message Board Post: Rosemary, We have emailed each other in the past... I am on the Oakes (Oaks) trail again. When we last talked you said that you were working in accounting and January is a busy time for you. I am still interested in any information you can give me about the Oaks (Oakes) family. I am pretty inexperienced at this - although I have been trying for years :) - and could use some guidance from someone. I believe the Oaks family you have listed is my Oaks family. I have traced back to Thomas in 1788 and have some of the family filled in but not all. When you get a chance I would love to talk to you again. My email address is andra_brown@hotmail.com if you want to email me direct. Hope to hear from yu soon. Andra
