War, who moved to SC abt. 1783.</div> <bR> <div>      How do you know which line you might be in?  Those who have attended the reunions have learned of which line they are a part of.  Others who desire to know will need to know or learn a limited amount of history about their ancestors.  Start with yourself, go back generation by generation within your Jaco family for at least 3 or 4 steps.  Who were your grandparents and where did they live?  The farther back, and the more data learned make identification easier.  I probably know more about the third generation back than I do about the present one because of the availability of public records and correspondence with other family members.  Many do not bother to pass on data such as births, marriages, deaths, interesting life events, etc. and I have to wait until I receive an obituary or such to learn of some of things a person did during their lifetime - sad, but true.</div> <bR> <div> Back to <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Jaco Jots"><U>HOME</U></A> page</div> <div>  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
