    Do you have your family information in GEDCOM format? We use PAF genealogy software; but, we do not have Jimmie's family data completely posted. We are in the process of doing so. We have almost all of Jimmie's family data in hand written form and we are in the process of trying to get the data posted to our PAF genealogy program and to this Web Site Page. Thanks again for contacting us. Your contact has made Jimmie a "happy cousin." Don't forget to sign in or to EMail us. Let's get in touch and keep in touch for we probably have a great deal to discuss and to share. Also visit our Web Site again real soon as we frequently update our site pages. We have a lot of related Oden and Clark information as well as Jimmie's HOPPER line of descendants; but, practically nothing on the DORMANS or the FLOORES but we are seeking.
