Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/886 Surname: McCONNELL, KERR, RYAN, REED ------------------------- Hi I just saw your query on McConnell. I also am researching McConnell. My husband's great grandmother, Eleanor Rita Kerr was born inMinok, Ill July 23, 1901 and married in Galesburg, Ill. She married Fay Floyd McConnell, son of Charles McConnell and Nellie Reed McConnell, of Galesburg. Could this McConnell be a connection to yours? He was born in early 1870, married in Appanoose County, IA in 1899. Sally Young McConnell
