Hello. My name is Evan M. Hockett and my biological name was Donald Ray Langston. My fathers name was William Gene Langston, his dad was Garland V. Langston. Grandfather Langston was married to a lady by the name of Sadie McEntire, Born supposedly on the 4th of May, 1912 and died on the 7th of July 1976 in Plainview, Hale, Texas. Every place I have looked has her listed but no parents, etc. I don't understand how she can be listed on everyone's trees and no proof to show for it. And yes I might have missed some places. But would love to connect. When Ken emailed me back he introduced himeself as a possible cousin. My heart then really started racing. I just have to be patient. This has been a lifetime search for her. I would love to hear from anyone who possibly might have information, etc. I will give you my email and phone number at the end. If I can pssibly help on info that you might need for family etc would be glad to help. Email: ejhockett@sbcglobal.net and my phone number is 316-283-9944. Again thank you and God Bless. Evan M. Hockett (Donal Ray Langston)
