We are in need of more email addresses and/or cell phones that can receive text messages:  
The Oliver and Jane Epps family tree is a huge network.  There are literally thousands of us throughout the USA spanning several generations from coast to coast.  The purpose of establishing this family tree website is to be able to connect and communicate with as many relatives as possible, as well as to foster an appreciation for our heritage. Therefore, we really need the cooperation of everyone.  

Email addresses may include your parents, your children and grandchildren, your siblings, your nieces and nephews, your great nieces and nephews, your aunts and uncles, your cousins, and friends of the Epps family.  The more email addresses we have, the less the cost will need to be paid in postage for future Epps reunions as well as other Epps communications.  Please review the list of names below.  These are all the ones whose email I have.  I am asking everyone who is reading this to send me at least one email address of someone who is not on the list below.  Or at least send their cell phone number so they can receive a cell text:
