Hello, I don't have any information on your family but am sending some sites to check if you have not already done so. Good luck in finding your family. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm">USGenWeb Archives Search Page</A> <A HREF="http://web.mountain.net/~wfmoney/cd/">Ancestral Findings -Free Searches!!-</A> <A HREF="http://www.usgenweb.com/">USGenWeb Project</A> <A HREF="http://www.familysearch.org/">www.familysearch.org</A>

I am posting this to every mailing list to which I am subscribed in the hopes that somewhere out there someone will know something about one of the individuals I am seeking. So, if you are like me and subscribe to more than one list, I apologize because you will be getting this message more than once. If you have already been contacted by me in the past requesting this same information, I apologize for bothering you again. But I AM DESPERATE!!!! My paternal grandfather and his family - if he even had one- are the culprits who are responsibility for my insanity!!! I will try to be brief. My grandfather's name was John William WILKINS. He was born in approx 1878. He died in 1927 in either Bossier Parish or Webster Parish, LA (either in Benton, Rocky Mount, Plain Dealing, Ivan, etc.). He is buried in the Rocky Mount Presbyterian Cemetery in Rocky Mount, LA. I contacted the State of LA for a copy of his death certificate or whatever form they used to record deaths in 1927. They show nothing on John William Wilkins,and they checked all the years from 1900-1929. This man died here, my father who was 7 years old at the time watched his father die. I have seen the grave and the headstone, and I know he died here. So, I am very disappointed that it was a dead end and very frustated because I don't know where to go next. That death information was all I had on my grandfather. And now that is a dead end. The SSDI isn't an option because he died in 1927 and Social Security wasn't activated until the mid 1930's, I believe. Here is the very little I know about this man and his family: John William Wilkins born in about 1878, possibly in Chattooga County, GA. He had the following siblings that I know of, there may have been more: Dock/Doc Wilkins (this may be a nickname, not his real name - I don't know), Pete Wilkins, Ernie Wilkins or Ernest Wilkins. Ernie or Ernest Wilkins may have been born in Tennessee, again I don't know. I do not know these boy's parents names or where they come from. Ernie or Ernest Wilkins lived in Bossier Parish, I can remember going to his house as a small child with my Daddy. Ernie died in the mid 1960's here in Bossier Parish. He was marred to Josephine ? Wilkins. Pete Wilkins is just a name to me, to my knowledge I have never seen or met him, but I don't believe he lived in this area, possibly not even in Louisiana. Doc/Dock Wilkins did not live in Louisiana in 1927 when his brother, John William, died because Daddy says they had to send for "Uncle Doc" and told him he needed to hurry if he wanted to get here before his brother died. Eventually, he ended up here, I don't know if he was dead or alive when he got here, all I know is that he is buried in the Rocky Mount Presbyterian Church next to his brother John William Wilkins. According to the Rocky Mount Presbyterian Cemetery Book (which I have a copy of by the way and will be glad to look up any names if you will email me personally), "Doc" Wilkins wife is buried in Arkansas. I don't know her name nor do I know where in Arkansas she is buried. John William Wilkins married Mary Lorene Lockey, who had lived since birth in Bossier Parish, LA, sometime before 1904. Once again, no records exist in the State of LA of their marriage. John William Wilkins and Mary Lorene Lockey had the following children, all born in the Bossier Parish/Webster Parish, LA area: Huey Wilkins (my Daddy called him "Dick", don't know why- married Nannie Burt and lived all his life and died in Bossier Parish, LA), Johnnie Hall Wilkins (went by John Hall - married Mary Elizabeth Crook "Aunt Tee"-he worked for and retired from the Bossier City Police Dept) and he lived his life and died in Bossier Parish, LA; Cornealius Robert Edward Wilkins (we called him "Connie", he married Patsy Craton and lived/died in Bossier Parish LA); Jessie Lorene Wilkins married Archie Avery Crawford and spent the rest of her life in the Dallas Texas area and died there; Annie Belle Wilkins married Henry Patterson and lived in Bossier Parish, LA until she died in the early 1950's with a brain tumor; J.W. Wilkins (my father) married Lillian Geraldine Methvin in 1949, he lives in Bossier City LA and is retired from the Bossier City Police Dept. He is the baby of that family and it's only survivor. He was born in 1919 and will be 80 years old on Oct 22 of this year, if he makes it that long. He has been given 6 months or less to live and that was a month ago. If anyone out there has ever heard of any of these people or has access to birth records or census records and has the time to check and see if any of my family shows up on any records anywhere, I would be very grateful. They could be from anywhere and have lived anywhere. I just have no idea where to start and I am out of places to look unless anyone can suggest somewhere else I can check. As I said earlier, I have been told that John William Wilkins was possibly born in Chattooga Co.GA and Ernie Wilkins may have been born in TN. Thanks for at least listening to me vent my frustrations!! Believe me, I am ready to start checking with other planets to find them, cause I am about ready to admit they aren't from Earth!! Thank you, Brenda Wilkins Hudson

I'm afraid I'm very much a night owl. I had my five grand kids yesterday afternoon till 9:00 PM. When their here I just play with them. I'll let you know about my gedcom. I still have a lot of Blunt inf to enter. Don't retype. Try sending your file and let me see if I can open it. Char

Helene: I think my PC will read the gedcom I just haven't figured out how to do the ged file yet. I'm just getting familiar with my kindred konnection program. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon and can send you mine. Charlotte

Can you accept a gedcom? Could you do the same? I was just in Bossier and Webster Parishes last week and picked up some more that I have to get to. Got books for Marriages and cemetery records that tie to some of them. We both seem to be at the same stopping place however. I have had lots of help on t his and have not done all of it myself! I use Family ORigins 8.0 which is compatible with most programs unless they limit the number of digits or letters per line. Helene CHoll37278@aol.com wrote: > Helene: > > Great!

I wanted to share this bit of information with members of the list and ask "ARE WE DOING OUR FAIR SHARE"? Excerpt from Rootsweb Review, Vol. 2, No. 18 received today: >>>>>>>> Here is the problem, and why the new communities will be the solution. When we launched RootsWeb, we assumed that our users would prefer to support us as much as they were able, in exchange for a site open to all, without banners plastered all over everything and without having resources locked up (as is done at other genealogy sites), available only for fees on the order of $60 per year. Instead, people can support RootsWeb for as little as $12 per year. We thus hoped that a reasonable fraction of our users, perhaps half of them, would support us in some way. And because we expected support from the community, we made promises to projects like USGenWeb that we would freely host them for the good of the Internet genealogy community. We have no intention of reneging on those early promises, but it has been difficult, because the community support we anticipated has not been there. Although people use the site like crazy, fewer than 7% of our users have chipped in to keep things going. The other 93%? Perhaps they're busy, or they're broke, or they won't pay unless they have to, or they don't think RootsWeb is useful. Who knows? But it means that RootsWeb has run at a cash flow loss. In simple terms, Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich have donated not only their time as system administrators but a substantial part of their personal resources to provide the genealogical community with RootsWeb. The rest of RootsWeb's staff have also made substantial contributions. Because RootsWeb's costs exceed its income, we can't provide all the genealogical facilities we'd like to support. These could include online searchable databases of pension records, census indexes, vital records, or countless other valuable genealogical services that we could easily provide -- if only we could afford the staff to support them. And, ultimately, RootsWeb can't even continue to exist if we don't bring our costs and revenues into balance, something we want to have under control before the transition to non-profit status (as opposed to losing money status) is completed. We are doing what we can to remedy the situation. For instance, we are selling banner advertisements where we can. However, this alone will never provide enough revenue to cover the costs of the unbannered volunteer projects which consume most of RootsWeb's resources yet by their very nature produce no direct revenue, even as they provide invaluable content to the genealogical community. The new communities, from their inception, will be fully supported by advertising. They will be paying their own way. We can shift some of the costs of maintaining the Web, mailing list, GenConnect, and search engine servers onto the new communities, so that the new communities will subsidize a genealogical community that hasn't been supporting itself. Although we have been disappointed in the amount of financial support of the genealogical community, we would like to express our deep gratitude to the writer of the letter above and the other 7% of our users who have helped make RootsWeb available to the whole community. Without their support and encouragement, there would be no RootsWeb. If you would like to join the folks who are making RootsWeb possible and thus help us bring new genealogical data online, freely available to all, please visit: <http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html> or send e-mail to: RW-info@rootsweb.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> COME ON FOLKS. LET'S PITCH IN WITH OUR FAIR SHARE. ROOTSWEB DOES A FANTASTIC JOB FOR US RESEARCHERS. Doris
