    Dear Jones Family
    I was real sorry to hear of Howard S Jones passing. I have been trying to connection with the Jones family for awhile. Ancestry.com and also 23&me says that I may be related in some way. But I haven’t been able to figure it out. If anyone of Mr Jones relative would email me it would be greatly appreciated.. I only want answers to my lifelong mysteries.. I was born in West Jefferson in 1948.. I too am running out of time.. I would love to know if I have relative out there somewhere.
    Thank you for your time,
    Sincerely Brenda Richardson
