Dear Jane: Sorry for the long delay in reply. I searched all of my databases and didn't find your Whitneys. If you haven't done so already, you might want to search for your families on the Whitney Research Group site: http://www.whitneygen.org You might also want to join the e-mail group. Instructions are on the above site. I have forwarded a copy of your message to the group in case someone else has a connection. Good luck!

Whitney and Matilda Edgemon. (Probably in Arkansas) It appears that both Frank and Matilda were married several times. I can't seem to get any information on ancestors of either one. Can you help with Frank? I'm very new to researching, so if you have any ideas, I would appreciate them. Janice Whitney Bush janicewb05@aol.com
