Barbara, no I am not related to them at all. As a matter of fact I am researching my wifes side of the family at this time. We are looking for Dorse y's, Doziers, Jacksons, Manuals and Ollivers. The most elusive of the bunch is CURTIS CALLAHAN DORSEY. We can track him to the 1900 Census living with Roy Olliver and cUTIS' son (although living with the maternal grandmother Judy or Judith Maunal) CURTIS CALLAHAN DORSEY JR. The Sr. Dorsey is supposed to have left Rapides for Washington, D.C. for one of the higest ranking jobs there with the Postal Service for African Americans. However it is believed he poisoned to get him out of that job. HIs wife Minnie Dorsey (formally a Jackson and Williams) attended the Funeral in D.C. sometime between 1920 and 1929 however we have not been able to find a record of his death. Social Security was not enfporce at that time so thats a dead end. There you have it at least as much as I do. Any suggestion? Perry Los Angeles
