Hi Clen9,
I'm curious, would you happen to know what the 'B' in Ida B Goins stood for? I'm asking, even though It might be a stretch, but I too am researching a Goins ancestor with the middle initial B. Allen B Goins. Of course the variation in the spelling Goins, Goin, Going, Goings, etc etc etc has driven me absolutely crazy, I'm wondering if some insight on the B might ease my pain somewhat.
Thanks,
