Stephanie.... thanks for working on this family!! I have not had a chance to work much on Isaac, HOWEVER, my sisters and I are working pretty hard on our Simmons line (NC, Ga and MS) and whenever I run across Isaac, I copy the pages I find. NOT much so far, but once I get the Georgia Simmons worked out, I can concentrate more on Fortenberry. We do most of our "jumping off" work from the Atlanta Archives, so if there is anything you want me to look into, please let me know. We have genealogy trips planned for Mississippi and North Carolina for later this Spring and Summer.... hopefully we can get more information to share! Email me if you want....
