I am researching the FOLKS family. I have two brothers and I am searching for their family. JOHN FOLKS was born in 1837 and his brother RICHARD FOLKS was born in 1839. Census records show that they were born in Ohio, and that their father was born in Georgia and their mother in New York. I believe that they probably left Ohio and moved to a neighboring state. Eventually, at least John and Richard moved to California prior to 1861. The name may have been spelled Folk, Fokes, Folkes, Fooks, Foulks, etc. Unfortunately, I do not know the parent's first names. I was hoping that this sounded familiar to someone who might be missing brothers or sons. Thanks- Lynne steinfeld@mail.tqci.net
