Regards other obits.Yes Brian I'm always interested in all documents about our people.
I hope Tom Henley reads the bit on Ransom Skillings.I haven't been in touch with Tom in a long time.One fine person.
I just found a brand new web site for me last night.As you might recall I carry the Cessna blood lines. Yes Cessna Aircraft same people.I was in touch with one of my Cessna cousins recently and was telling a lady in Ny about them.Anyway I told her to hold for a minute as if I was talking to her on the phone.Did a google.com search for the Honorable John Cessna. Got a hit where he gave a speech at some univ. Fooled around next thing you know I have a listing for 229?The first listing was a msg between him and my supposed 4th or 5th cousin ole Mr. Abe Lincoln on my paternal side,My Ggmo? or GGgmo Brookshier was an Ewing or Ewen and was suppose to be sister to Lincolns mother.She was from what is now known as Pipers Gap Va.I was going to try and research it, but run into a bunch of snobish type on the Lincoln list so I let it drop.If you never know anything abt this cousin of yours know this.I am a down to earth person.There is no pretense in me.You get just what you see.Nothing more and nothing less.I hate and detest snobs.
