Hello to both of you I am a gr gr grand daughter of Henry Franks. I have tons of information on this family if you would like to have it. I have Family Tree Maker Program and can send it over the net or can make a GedCom and send it. Or by mail. Would love to share it with you. There are others who are also working on this line and are on this list I think. Also we are members of the Coryell Co. Gen. Society.
