I'm so pleased you stopped by for a visit.

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

I'm continually:

Updating existing information and adding new information

Checking for missing photos and broken links and restoring them when found.

If you can't find something during this visit, I encourage you to check again later. It may be available the next time.

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