Welcome to My Genealogy Site

For years, I knew very little about my ancestors, who they were or where they came from. Consequently, I've spent many years researching, collecting, verifying, and yes, sometimes even discarding information from many sources.

Many people have helped and guided me along the way and to them, I am most grateful.

My content comes from many different sources and surely contains some errors. I will correct those errors as they are discovered.

I'm constantly updating and adding new content, so I encourage you to visit often.

I'm a member of Clay County Genealogy Society (Louisville, Illinois) and Richland County Genealogy Society (Olney, Illinois).

This website is available in English, German, French, and Spanish.

Current Projects

  • In addition to my own genealogy, I'm compiling the lineage of families from my hometown of Clay City, Illinois and their extended families.
  • I'm also compiling the lineage of our military veterans from Clay County, Illinois; Richland County, Illinois; and Wayne County, Illinois and their extended families. I salute them for their service and their many sacrifices
  • I'm converting all surnames from all UPPER CASE to Normal Case (This will take some time to complete).
  • I'm including Les Higgason's "Civil War Veterans, Buried in Clay County, Illinois (including Confederate)" to the website. Les was the Sexton for Elmwood Cemetery in Flora, Illinois for many years. He has done extensive research on Clay County Illinois Veterans of all wars. I thank him for his hard work and dedication.
  • I will be including Les Higgason's "Spanish-American Veterans Buried in Clay County, Illinois."
  • I will be including Kaleb Beaver's "World War I Veterans buried in Richland County, Illinois."
  • In order to speed up the site, I'm converting headstone photos to Find a Grave links.
