Revised Bio

Born in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, I am the son of Robert Harry Wilson (17 Feb 1954, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri – 26 May 2010, Mountain Grove, Wright County, Missouri) and Theresa Ann Steele-May.

My dad was the son of Edward Monroe Wilson, Sr. and Violet Bernice Brown (née Strode). My mom is the daughter of Barbara L. Koch (née Erhart) and E. W. Steele.

I research and maintain memorials connected to both sides of my family (my mom's and dad's), for my mom's step dad's side — the Koch and Riske families. I also work on the families of my parents' later marriages, including my stepmother Theresa Jane Wilson (née Eldringhoff), daughter of Stephen Conrad Eldringhoff and Nellie Elizabeth Eldringhoff (née Havens), and my stepfather James Eugene May, Sr.

My goal is to document family connections, preserve accurate information, and link relatives whenever relationships can be confirmed through reliable records.
