Hi, Becky asked several good questions. As to religion, my father was Protestant which is all I know as to how he was raised. Considering that my father was born in 1920, my grandfather would probably have been in his 20's then. This would have made his year of birth sometime around the turn of the century. I vaguely remember his being in his 40's when he died in the late 1940's. As to literacy, I have no idea. My father didn't discuss his family. He was in the Navy when he met my mother and stayed in the service for 20 years settling on the east coast. I have searched the Social Security Death Lists and have come up blank. The only Joseph Jenkins I have found was in the Land Grant records for the 1900's. Not an awful lot to go on. There were four children; Josephine, the oldest. Theodore Harry, my father. Cecil and another brother. Thanks for all your time and help. Maureen

Excuse me for interupting as I don't know who you were writing to. If you are looking for a burial site, go to : www.findagrave.com It is quirky about hw it takes your info, but stick with it to the end. I recently forund ny elusive grandfather's gravesite by using this site.

Hi: I sent out some requests to date to some of my deaf friends. I have asked them to post his name in their Ozarks newsletter for the Deaf. One of my friends is head of deaf ministries at Assembly of God Headquarter here.. It would help me to know what his/her occupation was. I assume their children were hearing. Do you know if they had a telephone? If they did I can find them in the phone book.. do you know if they signed and if so what language did they sign. At that time most signed American or Pig. Do you know if they belonged to a church? Before accessibility laws deaf adults worked in laundrey, shoe repair, shoe shine and dish washing in Springfield.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Maureen Patt To: MO-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] Jenkins Hi, Becky asked several good questions.
