I am trying to documentation that proves that my William Mims/Mille (unknown) is definitely the son of Thomas/Grace Britton. Wm lived in Charleston area abt 1775-1800 then moved to Newport,Cocke,Tn. After civil war this line moved to Texas via Missouri. Jeanne Mims Filice

I am mostly lurking and compiling a MIMS database, which I will turn into GEDcom in a while and let you all take a look. I have been *trying* to put as many of your names in family groups as possible and link them together. I belong to Ancestry.com and GenealogyLibrary.com, so have access to those databases. Also, I have been doing some back-tracking to add as many sources as I can find, so take the data at face value and try and get the proof yourselves, if necessary. This work all started because I am doing Jesse James research, which contains some MIMS. But all of you have been such a treat for me, as you are not only researchers, but also friends. I do enjoy this list like no other. I am not using all of this in my book, by no means, only the line of Jesse's wife, Zee, but wanted to give back for some of what I have gained here. I hope it can help some of you... To date there are roughly 2600 names in the database. (Please do not ask for lookups, I do not have the time and this is part of the reason I will send the GEDcom soon.) You will see that some of your names, email addresses, etc., are listed as sources, when that was all that was available, so you might contact eachother. If there are any objections to this work please contact me, if you wish not to be listed. God Bless, Linda in KCMO
