About this website:

For years, I knew very little about my ancestors 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.

In addition to my own genealogy, I'm compiling the histories of families from my hometown of Clay City, Illinois and their extended families.

I'm also compiling the histories of our military veterans from Clay, Effingham, Richland, and Wayne Counties, Illinois and their extended families. I salute them for their service and their many sacrifices

Ongoing Website Projects:

I'm converting all surnames from all UPPER CASE to Normal Case  (This could 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 and 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."

The web-site is quickly approaching its allotted size limits.  In order to gain back some space, I'll be converting my headstone photos to burial links on https://findagrave.com

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

If you can't find something right away, don't give up. I'm always adding new content so what you are looking for may be available the next time you visit. I encourage you to become a regular user.

Why not register for a free account to get a family tree and begin adding your own family history and photos?  You will be in control of your family tree.

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