Just some info:

Please keep in mind that I have lots of time and money invested in this project. Many of the names are family members... some a few (not usually very far) generations down the line. Others are names in my husband's family, brothers-in-laws families and my sons-in-laws families and daughter-in-laws families. Some are related to others in my family tree but not directly to me. All information I have personally gathered. I did not use any information from the Mormon Church's many sites. I have researched everything. Most photos belong to me directly, except the ones that I have given credit too.

My family lines are (note: the * are in my family tree {I still have many to mark.}) Jones, Pugh, Knowles, Prothero, Painter, Owens, Nash, Albright, Watkins, Hall, Edgerton, Willoughby, Draper, Charinsky, Aikin, Moore, Meers, Morgan, DalValley (DalVallee), Monson, Klaman, Breeden, Dora, Russell, Williamson, Arnold, Chism, Siddell, Weindenburner, Gill, Ames, Wallis, Chantos, Keller, Davis, Wilcox, Cox, Pate, Gruber, Palmer, Sullivan, Douthit, West, Butler, Reese, Balsley, Smallcomb and the list goes on.

Some folks, on this blog, are friends or friends' parents. Others are individuals that are on the same page as one of my family.

I am willing to do research for others, however I do charge for extensive research and for the cost of research items. To check in some of our local cemetery records they do charge. Birth and Death records also cost. Before I do that search I will require a deposit in my paypal account. Please ask ahead if I will be charged to help you. Also all of the articles I have, I have paid to make copies of .

Give me a Shout-out About Family History

I am not only looking for and posting my own family history, but others that I have found.



Blank lines means the individual is still living at the time that I post the article. I try not to publish any names of living individuals. This is not always possible, as some folks may still be alive and I don't know them. Sorry if I have posted a name of someone you know for sure is still living. Contact me and I will make their name a blank line.
I have the complete obit if you are related and need more information. Please state how you are related in your email.

D. H. S. Debaters Meet Kankakee

While doing research today I came across this article. I thought it was kind of neat. I remember Mr. Purkey as he was my speech teacher.

D. H. S. Debaters Meet Kankakee
Engage in Initial Literary Contest With Northern School Thursday

Engaging is the first literary contest between the two schools. Danville High school negative debaters met the Kankakee affirmative team Thursday night at the latter city.
The contest was a non-decision event but it was the general opinion following the debate that the two teams had tied on research while the Danville team had an advantage in case, delivery, general effectiveness and recitation.
Negotiations are under way for a return non-decision contest at the local school.
While Thursday evening's contest was non-decision, it served to establish literary relationship with the northern school and provided competitive experience for both teams.
The Danville team was composed of Bill Erickson, Charles Gaines, and Alden Bracewell. Delbert Purkey, head of the the public speaking department and debate coach, accompanied them to Kankakee.
The question debated was: "Resolved. That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operation."
