Evelyn, Looking through our database I can't seem to make any links for you. Sorry. I am a bit interested in your family though because I had some family that used to live in Arkansas. My grandfather's sister (Ersa Maria RAGAN, 1895-1983) and her husband (Charles Wesley OLIVER, 1891-1967) lived in Paragould. I remember my grandfather making trips there and I remember him mentioning Little Rock. I do know there were quite a few RAGANs who moved from TN to AR. (Many of these are listed in our RAGAN-ROOTS database.) In fact the Postmaster General of the Confederate States, John H REAGAN, seems to have traveled through there a time or two. If I remember correctly his father, Timothy Richard REAGAN, died in Fulton Co., AR while on a trip from TN to TX. As for getting a copy of our database GedCom you can visit our cousin Bill REAGAN's site at: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/billreagan/ The latest copy (Jun 1999) is available there. I think the last one I sent to Bill had a little over 31,000 people in it. I should export another copy soon since we now have over 32,500 in our current file. Evelyn I now have your family entered into our database. I would be glad to enter anything else you'd care to send too. Best wishes, Michael W. RAGAN ============= RAGAN-ROOTS List Moderator ============ Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? ==============>from [email protected]<======== I am attaching a list of Ragans from our family tree. We have no information prior to James Arthur born in Tennessee and would sure like to make a connection to someone. Also, can you tell me how to pick up the Ragan gedcom. I did that about 6 months ago, but have lost my notes on it. Sure would like to find a connection to someone out there. 1 James Arthur RAGAN b: November 4, 1825 d: August 4, 1910 . +Martha A (RAGAN) b: December 8, 1830 d: February 16, 1902 m: Abt. 1850 2 Martha E RAGAN b: Abt. 1851 2 Louisa Jane RAGAN b: October 22, 1854 d: December 15, 1912 ... +Ernest BROWN m: March 4, 1877 *2nd Husband of Louisa Jane Ragan: ... +John Benjamin GREGORY b: August 15, 1853 d: October 24, 1922 m: November 11, 1881 Father: Bob Gregory Mother: Margaret Word 2 William F RAGAN b: Abt. 1857 2 Theodore RAGAN b: Abt. 1859 2 Jane Flora RAGAN b: February 14, 1869 d: 1952 ... +Thomas Greenbrier BROWN b: April 10, 1855 d: August 18, 1946 m: November 1, 1885 Father: James W Brown Mother: Francis Laurena Vandegrift Prepared by Evelyn Brown 23818 Barry Lane Little Rock, AR 72210 August 18, 1999 Thanks!
