Thanks for replying, am helping a friend, David Jenks, with his Jenks/Jinks ancestry...his greatgrandfather, Charles Jenks/Jinks b. Germany abt 1849, died 1916, buried Hoopeston, IL, seems to be a connection to a August Jinks, who resided at Newport, IN, but August moved away abt 1912, do have a little proof that August had a brother, William E. Jenks, who lived in Hawaii. we reside in Wisconsin, assume you are in HI, don't have your email address, try contacting me at, arleyrider2003atyahoo.com
