The Simms Family
Roots







    The Simms Family Roots Page is a labor of Love for me and my family.  After the death of my Father, Major W. Simms, Sr. in 1991, I decided to begin collecting information concerning my family.
 
 

I have had help from many sources but would like to thank one person who aided in the search,  My Dad.  While he is not around to see the results, his love and devotion to his family continue today.
