Hi! I'm Janie Jackson Kimble. Since February 2005 I have had a web site dedicated to the descendants of Robert Jackson of Hempstead, Long Island, Queens County, New York. The purpose is to bring together all the known descendants of the male Jacksons and down to the third generation of the Jackson women. The only reason I have limited the data on the Jackson women is to help focus my time and energy on the Jackson line. The site has had a tremendous amount of help and contributions from many folks who have generously contributed their family data and research. The URL of the site is http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com. All are welcome to come explore the site as there are a LOT of other pages in addition to the raw data, such as Resources, Historical Sites, Historical Stories, Biographies, Obits, Wills, info on the DNA results of the Hempstead line of Jackson, even a forum where visitors may introduce themselves, ask questions or answer someone else' question. The family tree of David Jackson and Jane Carlock that I have uploaded here at WeRelate is an effort to learn more of the descendants of these folks, hoping to connect to a living Jackson male descendant willing to participate in the Jackson DNA Project. Jackson researchers have discovered this to be a very helpful tool in determining which branch of Jacksons a descendant is connected to. DNA by itself won't tell a participant where he is connected but can let him know which branch he should be looking into to find his ancestors. More about this is posted on my web site mentioned above. This Jackson DNA Project is for ALL Jacksons, not for just my line of Jacksons. Currently, (June 15, 2007) I will be setting up user pages to contain the research that was done in various libraries in Wilksboro, North Carolina; and in Elizabethton and Johnson City, Tennessee in Public Libraries and in College Genealogy rooms. This info is in scattered bits and pieces as it was a flying trip and we just scanned everything we could find about Jacksons, hoping to find a way to arrange it in some logical fashion and piece it all together when I got home. As about all the info we got was scanned into our laptop, I expect to be able to post a lot of pictures that eventually may be helpful to someone. If the material is still under copywrite, of course, the images can't be posted but the extracted info, along with the citation, can be listed. I am a complete newbie to wiki so this is still very experimental for me.--Janiejac 20:11, 15 June 2007 (MDT) --Janiejac 00:22, 30 March 2008 (EDT) |
