I began doing research on my Zink-Sink line back in the '70's to '80's, but have hardly looked at for the last 8 years. Am trying to re-orient myself and get the data I already have into the computer. I'm willing to share everything I have with the hope it will help someone and perhaps I'll get feedback on the accuracy (or fallacy) of my conclusions - and if someone shares their data with me, that is just icing on the cake. As for published books - The only ones I know of are: 1) "SINK DESCENDANTS, JACOB ZINCK PIONEER, ZINCK, ZINK, AND SINK" by Violet M. Sink Stokes, pub. 1979 & 1983 2) "THE ZINK FAMILIES IN AMERICA", by D. Z. Kellogg 3) "SINKS: A FAMILY HISTORY", by John D. Sinks and Karen M. Cain of Arlington, VA, pub. 1980? I have none of those books, but have seen them and my line is not represented there. I do have a manuscript titled, "THE SINK FAMILY IN VIRGINIA", written by Richard F. Cox, Jr., which was Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements of THE 1973 NATIONAL ARCHIVES INSTITUTE ON GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH. Also, a manuscript titled, "ZINCK DATA", which I found at the State Library & Archives in Richmond, VA, submitted 1977, by J D Sink of Norfolk, VA which very closely follows Richard Cox's paper. Also, some pages of "THE DESCENDANTS OF STEPHEN SINK" written by Mr. Graydon Sink. These all have some of my line in them. Are there other Sink/Zink publications that anyone knows about? My line is Jacob>Michael>Stephen>Henry>Stephen>Steph>Olive (my grandmother). We find them in possibly North Hampton Co. PA> Chester Co., PA> Franklin Co VA>Howard Co IN (where grandma met & married grandpa-Benjamin Zachariah Hostetler in 1910. Going on the premise that some of the mailing list members are descended from the Franklin Co line (and may or may not know it), I'll be sharing some of the research I've already done with you. If I am not in keeping in with the listowner's purpose, please advise. Good 'searching!
