We're going to start the Q/A off with the most popular question that's asked in some form or another:
Qestion: How much longer until we get paid?
Answer: This is a 2 part answer--
1) Timeframe varies depending on how many people are willing to participate versus effort needed.
2) You can start on your own timeframe because you dont have to wait on anyone if you are a direct heir.
Q Do we need to set up a trust fund?
A Thats a personal decision.
A Alot more than most people realize.
Q What can I do to help?
A Keep your eye on this message board and your email inbox for futher developments.
Q Will heirs move forward collectively or should they hire personal attornies?
A Individual decision. We discussed this at the meeting
Q Whats the next step when info is presented to the judge?
A What info would that be? Any individual heir can move when they choose to do so
Q What heir are they trying to disinherit?
A Not to sure about this question. Please rephrase and send it via email.
Q Can you be more specific that "it a work in progress" regading the genealogy report?
A As was said at the meeting: "thats a question for the genealogist because she is the one working on it"
Q Who has direct contact with the genealogist?
A The "family committee" members would be able to answer this question. Contact one of them.
Q Do we still owe Tony Wright (attorney) any monies?
A The "family committee" members would be able to answer this question. However, he's only connected with the genealogy work. There's alot more to this project than the genealogy report.
Q How is this case styled in the court if it has been to court?
A This isnt a "court case" unless an heir has gone to court on their own behalf. Only aspect of this dealing with the court is the genealogy report itself because it has to be approved by a judge as being accurate.
Q How do I help my mom get her money?
A If your mom is a direct heir and she approves of you working on her behalf then stay plugged in to this message board and your email address you gave to us at the meeting.
Q Where was the money that was taken up at the last meeting (March 16th 2007)?
A You'd have to talk with the ones who held that meeting because we werent involved with that one. Ask the "family committee" members about this.
Q Can you tell me the line of succession the money will flow?
A Read the rules for "descent and distribution" in the Probate laws for the State of Texas
Q Why are some getting money and others arent?
A Just like any other thing worth having in this world. They went out and put forth the effort and reaped the benefits.
Q What happend to $5K taken up atthe last meeting?
A The "family committee" members would be able to answer this question.
Q How will fake family members be dealt with?
A According to the laws of the land.
Q How much money do we know is there?
A Who is "we"? If you are a direct heir, then your focus should be on your portion. Anything else is nonessential for you because you'll only get whats coming to you and nothing more.
Q Will the heirs have a copy of the genealogy report when its completed?
A Thats the plan in general. If you've PAID your portion ($50.00) to the "family committee" or any other designated person for this then you should be getting your own personalized copy of the report with only YOUR direct link information on it. The current rough draft report has all of the family on it. This isnt the correct way to distribute it because thats sensitive information about people's whereabouts and contact information.
Q Is the genealogy report complete?
A No
Q Do you know the actual amount or estimate?
A See above answer to a similar question.
Q How do we get on the team?
A Keep coming back to this blog and checking your email for more developments
Q Do I need my birth certificate?
A Yes
Q Will there be any backpay from where it begins?
A Yes, if you know what you are doing.
Q When do we need an oil an gas attorney?
A You can hire one on your own if you'd like but thats your decision alone.
Q Does the genealogist need help?
A We wouldnt know since we dont talk to her. The "family committee" members would be able to answer this question.
Q How much its going to be?
A how much is "what" going to be?
Q How many children does Anderson Willis have?
A Check the genealogy report when its completed
Q How much money is involved and how will it be disbursed?
A Disbursement is explained in the Probate law fo the State of Texas. Money amount is based on how much is owed to you and what you can locate.
Q Why cant we get info?
A About what? Can you be more specific?
Q What can I do to help?
A visit this blog on a regular basis
Q How can I get a copy of the genealogy report to see if my name is on it?
A When its accurate, completed and ready to go then we'll try to let everyone know in a timely fashion.
Q What is the status of our case?
A Its not a court case in a general sense. Its more of a "recovery effort". The court is being used mainly to approve the genealogy report when it is finalized.
Q When will the geneaology report be read?
A There wont be a reading of the report. The idea is for everyone to have their own copy
Q How many children supposed to get paid?
A Just the direct heirs only.
Q How may geneations are they paying?
A The closest generation to Anderson Willis for any given situation until those people themselves die. Then its the immediatly next generation who will get paid unless a will is present. Then its a matter of who the inheritance is willed to.
Q My father would like to know how he would keep up with information?
A Its assumed that he doesnt have Internet connection. If this is so then we should have a phone number for him if the Info Card was filled out
Q How can we better our situation on the gealogy list?
A By helping to clean it up and make sure that only real family members are listed.
Q Could we get family members to help the genealogist?
A Yes of course. This is what we are working on now so that everyone, who wants to, can help out by helping to clean up the genealogy report. More on that coming soon.
Q When will all of this legal stuff be done?
A The more heirs helping out, the faster we can go.
Q What way will you weed out the fake family members?
A Discreetly
Q What companies are invloved
A Confidential information
Q If I paid the wrong leg what was asked, do I still get credit?
A (Im assuming this is about the genealogy report) It doesnt matter which leg you paid it to. Just make sure you have a reciept for your payment so that you can get your copy of the report.

How was the committee members voted
in? and can they be replaced by
family members who are more knowledgeable like Mr. Henderson
tr2thmjones,
We are not the same group of people as the family committee. Read the post that was written on the message board about this.
In any case everyone is invited to join our research team so there's room for us all including you in Group B as was stated in the meeting on Sunday. There's plenty of work to do.
Hello family,
We too are also willing to help in any manner. Please let us know what we can do to assist the family.
pthepro,
okay great. Just makes sure that we have your contact and family information on file so that we can keep you in the loop. send it via email.

kennethjones,
If Anderson Willis had left a will then this entire process would be pointless.
