    My book is no where near completion. I'm thinking it will be as few as 400 pages and as long as 1000, depending on how much info I get/have and how many photos and maps I decide to put in the book. I would love to get a circle started. I'll start the discussion on the group (-:
    Thanks for the interest

    Unknown, I felt like I covered everyone when I added the group...But your suggestion makes me feel like I need to go back and tweak the whole group description. I mean, would those "misplaced" not include in the court/adoption cases? I don't want to sound like a novice, but unfortunately Iam.

    Re: Hester Jester. I can only document one of the marriages. The rest is family hearsay. She moved around so much I am not even sure where she died and when. So any ideas for the weary brain to move forward with?

    My direct ancestor was Orval B. Frazier(listed as Orvilla on the census) he was my great grandfather beleive his father was Waitman born 1810 Hawkins Co. TN. I am having alot of problems tracing this line. Seems to be a brick wall for me. Thanks for any help you can offer.
