The articles include Family Bibles, biographies, articles from historical & genealogical society newsletters, including the OCGS Newsletter. These articles contain vital records, family trees, obituaries, birth records, death records, marriage records, historical community records, church records, cemetery records, land deeds. There are more than 100 articles taken from the OCGS alone in the PERSI database. Lanita M wrote: > > OKAY, I will ask a question that may be on everybodys mind....

I am trying to make a more definitive connection between Jennie M. Sherrill 1864-1940 and her father, James Mason Sherrill 1834-1926. I want to see them on a census together or see a birth record. What I have is sibling related info. My gut tells me it is correct, but I would like another source. Please post to list. Joan Griffin Rusk Joan, I checked Oregon Co.. Did not find them... How about the rest of you? Are they in the neighboring counties? Lanita

I missed an important word in my message. Jennie Sherrill married Ruben Daniels; so, her married name was Jennie or Virginia Daniels. I also forgot to mention that she was born in Kentucky.
