Info from Lena

Lena,
I contacted Donald Sinyard who is the host of the Sinyard Family Website to see about getting you an invitation to have access there. Research there might help you make contact with others who might know about your John Sinyard and J.D. Sinayrd.

I would very much like to have access to the Sims Family Website that you wrote about.

Here are the census results I found for SIMS in Gilmer County, GA (which is right next door to Paulding Co., GA).

I hope this is of some help. I would like to learn more about your William Samuel Sims and all your Alabama SIMS. I live in Burbank, and do all of my research at the Family History Center in Los Angeles. Let me know if you need any look-ups, as they have a tremendous collection of films, microfiche, and books.

Regards, Justin
