Hi Im looking for my Great grand father and some of my distance cousins that might can
fill me in on my Family back ground. My Grand father was WW1, He was raised by his Nora
Cavins (married Loving) also had a twin Dora, Died I beleave of young age. He also had
brother that went by nick names like himself. My grand father is still remember as Cap
Cavins and only went by that name, it even on his military Headstone, in Simon Cemetery in
Oklahoma. He could not read or write so the federal cenus had his name with family as
Albert, but I went to the library and got theobit and it has Alfred Cavins. His brother
went by, Guess Cavins, Jim Cavins, and Tayor Cavins. but on the federal cenus they have
just letter with their Last name? I know sever write to tell me of a albert cavins but
they usually mean the one my grand father brother named one of his son's Albert. It
say that he was born in Roanoke, Denton county, Texas, but family member said he often
didnt beleave that to be tru!
e? (dont no why or any reason to that) Well I went as far as to contacted the military
for his records but the obit in the paper, and the head stone had differant birthday dates
by 2 years and with just cap cavins for a name on head stone they cant find much, they
did find enough information to know that his original military papers was burned in a fire
in st louis mo. but they are still looking, If any one can or think they might know my ggg
grand parent name and their parent please contacted me
