Hello Everyone, Bill Lamb is retiring from Genweb so I have been asked to take over the DeWitt County page. This is a big undertaking for me. I am almost computer illiterate. Please be patient with me and if you can help or have suggestions please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to improve where ever I can. It will be a little harder because I do not live anywhere near DeWitt but I can assure you that my heart is there. My ancestors were among the first settlers there and I have been involved in their research for almost 30 years. Among my ancestors are DAVENPORT, COPPEBARGER, FRENCH, BUTLER, HAYS, CARTMILL and others. Down the line I am probably related in some way to almost all the early families. I hope that I can be of service to all of you and that with your help we can bring as much information on DeWitt as is possible to the county page. One of the areas I would like to improve on is the Archives so if any of you have Wills, Bible records. Obits, Probate Settlements, Deeds etc. that you have transcribed from public records please share them. On a recent trip to KY with one deed I was able to locate the land that my ancestors owned there and what a treat it was to walk on that land and know that they had owned it. If any of you have transcribed any of the Cemeteries there or have pictures you would share I would like to have those also. I have cemetery books but I cannot use those as they are under copyright. Everything we post on the page must be from public record. If any of you are near or plan a trip to DeWitt why not gather just one or two pieces of information that will help others to post on our page. I am at your service and would like to make DeWitt County page, the best on the web. I live in Washington State. Am retired clerk, married with three grown children and six grandchildren. My mother and aunt got me hooked on genealogy as a teenager. I love helping others find their families almost as much as I love finding mine. I hope that you will support and help me with this project. Earliene Kaelin [email protected]
