I'm looking for any connections to people with the last name "Kings" (NOT King).

We have run into dead ends due to too many family secrets conflicting information. Right now our family tree is just a small sprout.

Our only names are Beatrice Kings (married name) born in 1899 and died in 1973 in Illinois. Her son Francis Joseph Kings born December 2, 1930 (or around this date) and his son Stephen Kings born 1963 in PA. Francis (Frank) was married to a Rose Barnett (she may have gone by Cos or another last name) in the early 60's. Rose's son from a previous relationship was named William and now goes by William or Bill Kings (he now lives in Las Vegas and has no information). Bill's father was belived to be a Turkish national and is believed to have dies in the 1950's.

We would like any information about where people named "Kings" came from. We hear they might have been English, Irish or German. Beatrice told Stephen that her family was German, but he was a very small child at the time and doesn't remember the details. We would like to know when they came to the USA and if there are any living relations we don't know about.

We belived Beatrice was Catholic. We also belive her husband may have been a farmer or involved in agriculture. We also belive Beatrice might have had several other children, including at least one daughter who became a nun.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I've posted a photo believed to be Frank and Stephen Kings at www.nevermt.com
