Pioneer Sketches
Sarah KINNICK, m. John B. SHEEK
This page includes sketches I have compiled from my family history research
for my own use. I am posting them on the Internet in the interest of sharing
this information with interested parties. If you appear to be directly related,
based on the information in the the sketches, or have comments to share
with me about these sketches, I would be happy to hear from you. I do not
do research for others, nor am I particularly interested in speculative
relationships or unrelated surname discussions. There are many other worthy
sites for these activities. I hope you enjoy reading some of these interesting
stories.
