Hello Sheri and the list

I'm new to this list and fairly new to genealogy as well. I am researching
Frank Biggs b: abt 1902 (found him on the 1910 census in Cleburne county)
and his family. So far I have learned his parents were William BIGGS and
Edna ?. Family tells me he died in 1929 in a quarry accident. Does he
relate to your Arkansas BIGGS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
