I started doing genealogy research approximately 15 years ago. The first time I opened a census record book and connected the first dots of my family, I was hooked! I have always been interested in the past. Who were my ancestors? What were their lives like? But when I started connecting dots to my ancestors, it fulfilled something in me I never knew was missing.

Some of the family names I'm working on include but are not limited to FLECK, MEARS, SPECK, MARLIN, NEWCOMB, LEASURE, HARRE, BOEHRINGER, SPECK, WAGONECK, TRAVELSTEAD, MCKENZIE, DOBBINS, ROBB, MOBLEY, PAGE, WARRICK, EATON, GARRETT and PHILLIPS. Most of which lived around the White County and Southern Illinois areas.

If you find anything on here that you believe to be incorrect or you have something you would like to add, feel free to message me. If you think we might be related, No matter how distant, message me. I love meeting and talking with family I didn't know I had.
