Thanks to all of you, for the mail of interest, as I stated in my original message, I am very new at the genealogy on the net. I have not [but will very soon] set up my files on the comp. As of now and for the last 20+ years all of my files are in Piles & Piles & piles....... I know that all of you have some idea of where I am at. Cindy, I will get to you the info as soon as I can To make it simpler for me [at this time] I will do a general message to all. My Problem is my lines are one way and the LDS and others have them differently. OTHERS Elisha Perkins b. 1697 Joshua Perkins Sr. b. 1728 Joshua Perkins Jr. b. 1765 Jesse Perkins b. 1798 Joshua L.

I can give sources for all. I know that we are related somewhere in time, just have to find the link. Just remember to be kind, I have this new, real fast comp. but the same old hunt and peck typist, is behind the keyboard. Happy Turkey day Dot Perkiness
