Good Morning, I'm looking for additional information on my father's family. My father was Robert E. Eddings (1939-2011) from Alabama. His father passed away in 1945 and we've had very little knowledge of the family through the years other than contact with a couple of aunts who have since passed away.
My grandfather's name was Linnie Lee Eddings, 1918 - 1945 in and around Jefferson County, Alabama.
Additional information that we've pieced together: Linnie's father was Jesse Douglas Edins, 1880-1938. Records show DeKalb and Jefferson Counties in Alabama.
Jesse's father was Simmin (or Simeon) Aaron Edins, 1848-1914, Jefferson County Alabama.
I'd like to know more about this line of the Eddings family if anyone has information to share. The search has been challenging due to variances in the spelling of the surname from Edins, Eddins, Eddings, and a few other variations.
My brother and nephew are the only males that we are aware of to carry on the family name. We would really like to learn as much as possible about this branch of our family and to connect with any relatives we may find.
Kind Regards,
Carole
