When I decided that the best way to share information with other family tree researchers was to post it on the web, I couldn't have hit the target any better!

My paternal grandfather was Lew Wade Ray		This family is being moved to: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pscheele/hixray.html
My paternal grandmother was Emma Melvina Cook Ray Mann		MY COOK FAMILY cook.html COOK FAMILIES IN KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE (NOT JUST MY FAMILY) http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookmain.html COOK CENSUS DATA FOR KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE (NOT JUST MY FAMILY) http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookcens.html Mann & Forgy family information can be found at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pscheele/ (this is my father's step father's family)
My maternal grandfather was William Scott Martin		Martin http://www.alltel.net/~ps53630/ Kassell - extensive information Illinois and Missouri http://www.alltel.net/~ps53630/kassell.html Frierson http://www.alltel.net/~ps53630/frierson.html Campbell http://www.alltel.net/~ps53630/campbell.html
My maternal grandmother was Eleanore Clarice Syers Martin Harris Tensing	..	http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pscheele/syers.html

Some of my pages are being moved from one site to another - mostly from my Geocities account to other locations - this is due to space. The Cook information goes way outside the boundry of my Cook ancestors to include all the Cook family tree information that I can find on any Cook family that lived, slept, or tip toed through Kentucky or Tennessee. It is essential to note that the Cook pages (as with many other families) would not be possible without the help of others. Two other key Cook researchers include: Carla [email protected] and Charlie [email protected] .

My Kassell family has a similiar flair - any Cassell - Kassell - Kissell that lived in either Illinois or Missouri is a potential occupant at the Kassell family site.

Photos - marriage licenses - death certificates - all of these things help paint the picture of our family history - I scan all of these sort of documents and try to make them all available for other researchers to share. I have also attempted to compile researcher lists but have to admit that keeping that list current has proved to be more than I bargained for. I also try to create a link to the original source of information - please note that many times, the researcher is not me - I'm just the geeky cousin who likes to share information via the web.

I hope this helps you get through my web pages and better explains where everyone lives.

Census Forms http://www.genrecords.com Print out the blank forms from this site - it will be very helpful in understanding the data presented on this page.

Do you Information to share? Note - while these are not my families maybe you can find a connection! Please let me know if you find connections so that I can put your e-mail address with the right county.
