Do you have famous ancestors? Diane and I would love for you to share your
information with this group. To make this easier we are suspending the rule
of only discussing members of your direct line. If you are a Smith but your
famous ancestor is a Jones that is OK for this discussion. We want you to
feel free to join in and let us all enjoy some interesting stories.
Who will be first?

Jim and Diane

With the New Year I hope we can get back to our family research. You are
encouraged to send in your questions, comments and any related information
you would like to share.

Best wishes,

Jim and Diane

First of all,
To all of you who are involved in the "front lines" of this corona virus war
- Thank You for all you are doing. Without you we would be in dire straits.

Secondly,

Diane and I thought it would be a good thing to share what is happening in
your locations as far as showing appreciation to everyone involved in
fighting the spread of this horrendous pandemic that has plagued the world.

Please feel free to share what your community is doing in that regard. We
have all seen the firefighters gathered to applaud the health workers.
Diane says that she and her neighbors stand outside their doors and clap for
the health workers. She suggests singing (to the tune of "Happy Birthday")
the following:

Thank you very much,
Thank you very much,
Thank you front line workers,
Thank you very much.


What ideas do you have? What have you witnessed in your communities? We
are together in this and shall come out of it stronger.

Is this group for genealogy researchers in Jackson County, Tennessee or is it for the Jackson surname?

Thank you.

Are any of you related to this singing star please??

Welcome to Groups.io, our new home for genealogical discussions. This is an
exciting time with a very impressive website and the opportunity to rekindle
our communications and, perhaps, revive research that has been set aside for
a time.

Diane and I want to encourage you to make us of this group with your brick
walls, successes, questions and whatever answers you may have for others'
queries. To begin with, introductions are encouraged, including some
history about yourself etc. If we can feel like a "family" we might get
more out of being here. We definitely do not want to make this such a strict
environment that you are discouraged from entering or starting discussions.

We want you to enjoy being a part of this group and be glad you joined in
the first place. If you have other group connections where you may spread
the word about us that will be great as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden
