All sorts of Hawkins clues to follow up on

Jim sent me a excel file yesterday to compare Hawkins and Barnes. It is amazing. However, I am hot on the trail of my 4-gr-grandfather this morning and can not be distracted.....except....I keep seeing distractions....so I am going to put these distractions into this blog post. And if anyone is reading this, and knows anything at all and is willing for me to add those thoughts to this blog, please e-mail me with your additions! (mosesm@earthlink.net)

The first distraction is from Ancestry public trees. The owner of the tree is

There was only one son to this couple....the other children were female.

Probably family group #1

Does anyone claim this John W. Hawkins? Elaine found the below article:

It is from the Nashville Republican, January 15, 1835, Is anyone looking for this Swindler????

Hawkins DNA

I hope that this blog will be a place for researchers who have interest in the Hawkins surname can chat and present thoughts about the particular line of Hawkins families that they look at.

Phil Hawkins maintains a wonderful website that you do not want to miss!

http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/genealogy/tree_g-1.html

I think that you will find Phil’s site more organized and easier to navigate than a blog tends to be. However, use the search box on this blog to zero in on posts that are about your DNA group. I will try to label each post with the DNA group that is being discussed unless I think that it is a post that is relevant to everyone.

This blog is not meant to replace Phil's site. This blog is more like Phil's more informal newsletter where you are invited to chat about ideas you have about your Hawkins research regardless of which DNA group you match.

I also encourage you to read the archived messages on the Hawkins mail list. Better yet, you may want to subscribe if you are not already a subscriber. The Hawkins mail list is a rootsweb mail list and has the advantage that many people read the posts and that all of the posts are archived and are fully searchable. I personally have made contact with many people who have given me a great deal of help with my own Hawkins line through that mail list. I do not mean for the blog to replace the mail list either. Instead I mean for this blog to enhance the mail list as I can place photos and maps and illustrations on the blog that give more meaning to the mail list posts. Rootweb mail lists can not accept photos, maps nor illustrations.

Please send me anything that you would want to share with the world about your own Hawkins DNA group. This can include your research that you would want to share. It can include questions that you would want to ask. I will work on this little by little for the next year. Please be patient. I am just like you. I have limited time. I have great interest, but my non-genealogical life limits what I can accomplish. If we find that this format is not helpful, we'll try something else.

I welcome your input! I welcome your criticism! I welcome any editing that you can do for me! Send me your ideas, and we'll work on them together! Many of you are already my good buddies. I look forward to your help in continuing the hard work that Phil has done so far.
