ROOTS IN ILLINOIS















I come from a long line of midwest farmers. I recently visited Illinois and documented our family land and landmarks.

I interviewed my 97 yr old grandmother about her life, and I learned so much about my family's rich history I have never known.

I am embarking on a book project based on her story, and I look forward to sharing it with you in the years to come.

  2. That is wonderful Lucy. I look forward in reading more about it. Illinois is a really pretty part of the country. My hometown is here in Little Rock AR. I have two books that my family compiled regarding my fathers side of the family. Your writings will be a nice thing to pass along to your children, etc.
