Bio

I started researching my family roots after randomly asking my grandmother, "Who are these people you have on the walls?" After learning she knew next to nothing about her parents, because they both died when she was 4, I set out on a journey to find answers. This was back in 2017-2018, and since then I've went from only being interested in learning about 2 people, to having well over 1,200 within my family tree.
I try to be as accurate as possible with each member within by "guesstimating", inquiring records from state libraries, trying to kickstart the memory of my oldest known relatives, and by simply asking.
I have traversed hundreds of miles from home to gather intel, planned excavations, reinstalled new headstones, and much much more for the ones I call my relatives and ancestors.

Feel free to contact anytime regarding anything, or even if you speculate you might be related to me. I'm more than happy to respond with all of my information. "Fun" fact, Jefferey Dahmer killed my cousin.
I'm a descendant of Coe's from Tipton County, Tennessee(1900's-?),
Foster's of Sparta and Coulterville, Illinois(1890's-1950's),
Smith's (2 sets) from Atoka, Tipton, and Brighton, Tennessee (1st set)(1860's-1960's), and Covington, Tennessee (2nd set)(1890's-?)
Craig's from Tipton County, Tennessee (1880's to ?),
Nelson's from East Saint Louis, Illinois and surrounding areas(1930's-present),
Randle's from Sunflower, Mississippi(1920's-?),
Holmes's from Sunflower, Mississippi (?-?) Springfield, Illinois and Decatur, Illinois(1950's to present), Bornnard/Barnard/Bornard's from Mineral City, Missouri(1920's-?), East Saint Louis, Illinois(1930's-present)
Culbreaths from Tipton County, Tennessee(1870's—1940)
Dyson's from Tipton County, Tennessee(1835-?)
Dismuke's from Junction City, Arkansas, and Bernice, Louisiana(1900's-?)
Briggs's (guessing Louisiana)
Dunwood's from Union Parish, Louisiana (1870's-?)
Winchesters's from South Wheatland, Illinois, Decatur, Illinois, and Kentucky, USA (1830's-?)
Donaby's from Sparta, Illinois, Tamms, Illinois, and East Saint Louis, Illinois (est. 1910's- present in East Saint Louis and surrounding areas)
Murray's from Colorado, USA(1871-?)
