I was born in Centralia, Illinois. My parents were Ervin and Mary (Skillman) Spenner. I have been doing research on family since 1984. I have visited many cemeteries, and hope to get the pictures downloaded. I enjoy doing research and hope to be able to do this for sometime.

I think having this site is very refreshing, because it helps with reminding people who we are and where we came from. Also, it keeps the cemeteries alive. I have found several cemeteries in my area that have been plowed under in fields only the name is known, not the people.
