Hi there- Yoakum’s,
I’m not sure if anyone still works on the Yoakum pages but, I want to introduce myself as a distant relative! My sister Renea has been tracing the family for years now and I have been looking into my Indian bloodline and discovered these pages on the Yoakum’s. My sister Renea Payne Bond has many of these pics on her walls at her house, that’s why I know I am in the right place. I see my Great Grandma-Martha Ann McKinney Yoakum and Great Grandpa- Isaac Rite "Ike" Yoakum Jr. Their daughter who is my Grandma-Bessie Cora Yoakum Norris and Grandpa Arthur Field Norris. Their kids. My Aunt Bernice and Uncle Sonny Norris and even my Mom Ruby and her Twin sister Ruth. All kids of Bessie & AF Norris.
