Everything and everyone has a valuable story to tell. I put clothes on the tombstones and share the stories of the real people who were here before. I'm a longtime genealogist currently working on several Revolutionary War lines and early American settlers. I currently serve on the Temple Cemetery Board, Fulton County, Illinois as well as the Industry Township Cemetery Board, McDonough County, Illinois. I'm a member of Fulton County, McDonough County and Peoria County, Illinois Genealogical Societies and I serve on the Easley Museum Board of Ipava, IL. That's a lot of history to share!
