CarlWGray Genealogies
Welcome. My interest in genealogy probably began at an early age, but I only began to take it seriously in the summer of 1980, after realizing that I knew almost nothing about my ancestors.
I've learned that my Irish, German and Swiss ancestors migrated through Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois. Many of them settled in Richland County and Clay County, Illinois.
Recently, my interest has expanded to everyone who lived in my hometown of Clay City, Illinois during the 1930 census and their extended families. Many of them were military veterans and I wish to recognize them for their service and sacrifices.
Any errors will be corrected as they are identified.
Many people have helped me over the years and I can't thank them enough for their invaluable assistance in sharing their research, images, and stories.
Unfortunately, if I tried to mention each of them here, I would possibly overlook someone.
I am a member of: Clay County Illinois Genealogical Society (Louisville, Illinois) and Richland County Illinois Genealogical and Historical Society (Olney, Illinois)
I welcome your participation and input. |
