Hi,
I sent you an email at the email associated with this blog. I'm researching further in to my family history. I have my family history in front of me. Pinkie was my great grandmother's sister. My great grandmother was the youngest of Jacob and Caroline's children. Could you please email me at ksking87@gmail.com?
