Subject: [IAJASPER] WALKER Family Autograph Album
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 06:48:28 -0700


I've "rescued" an old autograph album belonging to Flora WALKER of Iowa.
Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of a WALKER Family
Researcher I have been able to determine some information regarding the
family and have included that information below as well. The album contains
entries from both family and friends as follows:
