My great-grandfather, John Fankboner, son of George Kline Fankboner, died in Stewardson 18 April 1906. He had seven children, including my grandfather, S. A. Fankboner, born in Stewardson. My grandfather, Sylvester (or Sylvanus) was born 15 September 1849, died in Coles County 23 March 1930. He had Three children, born in Stewardson, Alice Eulalia, born 19 October 1878, died in Coles County 3 March 1966, Evelina, birth and death dates unknown, and my father,Lewis Harlin Fankboner, born 2 March 1873, died 17 April 1931 in Coles County. Evalina married George Lemons in Shelby County 04/04/1899. My name is Charles Harlin Fankboner. I was born in Mattoon Illinois 5 September 1920. Quite a number of Fankboners were born in Shelby County. I am looking for any family relatives.

I have some Finkbone relatives in the Shobonier Il area. Could this be an offshoot?
