You and I are 1st cousins. My father was Jiggs (Calton Vance Mings). I am his youngest child, Candy, and I would guess that we've met. It's been many years, though. I know that at Angie's (grandma) funeral, in 1982, there were a lot of families members that I didn't know. I was raised in California, and quite a bit younger than most of my cousins, so I rarely saw any of them. Only when dad and I would take a trip back to Texas to see 'Mama Ross'. I did make it to 2 of the William's Family Reunions while living in Texas, though. I do have some pictures buried somewhere that dad gave me several years back. It's been so long since I've had them out, I'm not sure what all is there. I do know that I have a picture of Buck Mings. It's one of my favorites. He's sitting on the wooden sidewalk with 2 other men. What a handsome picture he made. I would love to receive any info you might have of our family. I know so little, and with my dad gone, I have very little opportunity to learn any more. I would appreciate any details at all. Thank you so much, Candy
