I am from a BIG line of Walker's. Some of the names that I have found through my research are Edmond, Edward, Eddie, Dan, William, Louvenia (sp),Cornelia. I've traced my history back to Slavery. I know that my great grandfather married 3 times, with children from 2 of the marriages. I still reside in Mississippi and get with known family members for reunions. If you are interested in hearing more, please write soon. Maybe a distant cousin, Shirley [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
