First cousin with a son, first cousin with a son.

But this is Mississippi, so the sons are not merely Costner 2nd cousins. They are also Bells. Time to consult the consanguinity charts.

Posting names DOES work. More than one cousin has responded to this simple note.

Names, in the hope of finding Internet Cousins

Something ever comes of all persistent inquiry; we are not so continually curious for nothing.

Bell cousins

Bill Shields and Hershel Parker--Bell cousins (and maybe Shields cousins)

The Bells are readily identified by their thin lips.

Hershel Parker and Bonnie McMullan--Costner cousins and Bell cousins

Mississippi Stewarts who married Costner or Edwards

Now that we see how John Andrew Jackson Costner looked, it's time to look at Nancy Ann Stewart Costner and her brothers and sisters. Maybe the look that is so strong in at least a couple of Costner generations is a Stewart look and not a Costner look. Any Stewart kin out there?

Clear picture of John Andrew Jackson Costner at last

This is from a picture that Charles L. Costner sent Andrew Costner in 1993. Charles may have owned the original, which was oval, in one of those oldfashioned frames which were about 2 feet tall and 18 inches wide. Word is that the odd beard hid a goiter.

This is my great grandfather. His most famous great great grandson is Kevin Costner.

Descendants of Helen Costner Skinner in Oregon?

Will one of Helen's descendants find this and contact me via a comment?

John Andrew Jackson Costner, Gene Costner, Gene's son Andrew, and some of his grandsons, nephews, and grandnephews (children of different sisters of Gene Gostner)

At last, a clear photograph of John Andrew Jackson Costner!

Bill Shields and Hershel Parker

Bill Shields is a descendant of James Alexander Bell; I am a descendant of Isaac Franklin Bell, a younger brother of the Confederate soldier.










We need another Covington and a Skinner photograph to fill in--and any pictures of Gene's nephews and grandnephews who are not here.

Wallis Warfield Simpson--Beyond Ornery

Humiliation, thanks to Madonna, ongoing humiliation. The Warfield woman is back. Costner and Bell cousins, relax. It is on the Parker side that the kinship to Wallis comes. I am grateful that I am not like my cousin the wife of my chairman in the 1970s at USC, related to her two times. Some cousins are beyond Ornery.
