Patty, What a wonderful gesture and I'm afraid that the many requests you will get will make you sorry that you helped, but I do hope not. I would also like to request a copy as my maternal and paternal line is Sims and were in Bladen County and Columbus County prior to migrating to Alabama. I would so much like to reimburse you for your time as well as cost. Please, would you send us (the group) your address so that we can do something nice for you? My mailing address: Joyce Sims Severt 10148 Alicia Drive Midwest City, OK 73130-7511 Thank you so very much.
