Hello everyone...
and thanks to everyone who has already written to me. My name is Ty
Alexander and I live in Sarasota, Florida; I'm new to the list.

Thanks especially to Allan Green and Barry Whitney who both suggested
that I start by introducing myself and submitting an outline of my
ancestors. Sounds like a good place to start... so... here goes..

(My line is marked with an askerisk*)...

Eunice Eugene COOPER married Will J. Rogers.

5. *Alfreda Ruth ROGERS, b. Dec. 13, 1925 (my mother)

Well, I hope this gives everyone an idea where I'm at in my searching.
I have some information about WHITNEY's who are buried at a church in
Grimsby, Ontario, Canada, and who I believe are certainly connected to
my line (probably Neil's father, etc.). Will share if anyone is
interested.

My goal is to discover where my Whitney's were prior to Canada and, of
course, to continue to line back. I also like to gather collateral
family information, so if anyone sees anything that looks familiar,
please email me!

I'm looking forward to a great time of sharing on the Whitney list.

May all your WHITNEY's be related *G*
Ty Alexander
