Fikes Generations

Hello, I am Billy L. Fikes Jr., a descendant of George Fikes. I have been studying the Fikes line for many years and have assembled a great deal of data. I rather dislike data.

I much prefer looking over letters, diaries, news articles and old Family stories. So I am going to try and present here the Family line of George Fikes in a manner I have not seen as yet, and to that end I would request the aid of Fikes' everywhere. It is a large and amazing history we have behind us, and ahead of us. I am going to start with my direct linage and keep adding pages until I either get over it or the server space starts costing me too much.

The investigation is continuing into a Saturday holdup at the Handy Spot Too,
