Ennis family in NW Ark. and Oklahoma

Mr. Day,
I'm originally from NW Arkansas. I was born in Siloam Springs, and raised in a small town up the road called Gentry. I honestly don't know alot about my family history, but can try to help you. My great grandparents were Henry and Pearl Ennis. They had several children: James (my grandfather), Charles, Wilda, Elsie, Virginia, and I belive Essie. I'm not sure if she is a sibling or my great-grandfathers sister. She's in her late 90's and is in care center in Siloam Springs. She's still very healthy and has been at this facility for years. She was never married or had a family of her own. My grandfather passed away on New Year's eve night 1999. My grandmother is Anna Mae. She goes by Mae. They had 4 children: James (my dad), Troy, Patricia, and Janet. When my grandfather passed away there was a huge turn out for his funeral. There were family members there I had never heard of alone met. I know that some of them live in the Springdale, Rogers area, and don't have the last name Ennis. I have a brother, and we currently live in Florida. My parents live in Mississippi. We all moved from the Arkansas area 4 years ago. My parents owned a package store on the Arkansas/Oklahoma state line. The store was in Colcord, Oklahoma (Delaware County). I have know idea if this will help you. If you have any questions let me know. I travel with my job, so bare with me on my responses.
Sincerely,
Charity Ennis
