My name is Judy Darlene Jenkins and I am the daughter of Edgar A. Jenkins who had a twin brother named Earnest. I have found my half sister, Alice Weeks (Jenkins) online, but yet to find any other lost relatives.
My father Eddie had 4 children that I know of. Alice Weeks (Jenkins) Judy Jenkins, Edgar Thomas Jenkins and Beryle Anne Jenkins.
I got to meet him briefly during my childhood and have few pictures and or information as yet.
If anyone recognizes his name, please contact me.
Thanks and hugs to all Jenkins everywhere.
