Amanuensis Monday – Willis Washington Jones Death Certificate

After years of hunting, gathering, and collecting family information, and many attempts at getting it organized, I’m going back through it with an eye to getting it done right this time.  Some of these files were entered, several years ago, into a FamilyTreeMaker database file that all disappeared when I updated my program, so it took me awhile to decide to start over and enter all my data into another program!!
