I have been researching my history and genalogy since aboout 1998. I am so surprised at how much more is available on line compared to when I started. I have visited cemetaries in Illinois and taken pictures of my family, which I will share here. I am searching Mattison, Doyle, Nickerson, Swensen, Berge, Johnson, Casperson, Berg, LaBolle, Cook, Stephens, Needham, Stewart, Cassel, Cassell, Casell, Rice, Miller,and Pierce. The information is sad, joyous, enlightening, and always interesting. I have connected with family members and met two while at the DAR meeting in Washington, DC. What I learn sometimes makes me happy and sometimes makes me feel sad. Aloha---
