Finding Descendants of JOSEPH HENRY JONES
« on: Saturday 07 March 09 15:24 GMT (UK) »
Thanks to shellesq I have the Colorado infomation of JOSEPH HENRY JONES b. Cornwall England 1858 who emigrated to there in 1888 followed by his family in 1890. My question now is ........how can I move forward to  find his descendants? I am doing this for some friends who would dearly love contact with their distant "cousin Jacks"
Many thanks to you all for your help.
