Looking for Jenkins' from Dayton, OHIO
I am just beginning to research my mother's ancestry. She was Janet Jenkins, b. 1904 in Dayton, OH. Her father was William P. Jenkins, born in Wales, I believe. His sisters were Laura Jenkins Haney and Elizabeth Jenkins, b. in Wales, immigrated to Ohio and d. in Dayton. William P. owned 5 drugstores in Dayton. Aunt Elizabeth ("Lizzie") was the first female pharmacist in Ohio. She never married.
William P. Jenkins married Edna Grace Schaefer, my maternal grandmother.
Everyone survived the 1913 Dayton flood.
I'd be grateful for any further information about this family tree.
