Hello and I am searching anyone related to the Lawless family, there are various spellings of this name in the area and 3 alone on our census for my clan. My family first settled just across river from this area of ILLinois in Livingston county KY around the middle 1800's or so. We have never been able to find out about our relatives and connections in Southern Illinois and I have been searching for years. We know they are related but cannot find out how so I am hoping someone might be able to shed some light on our set. My grandmother recently passed away and has told me often she remembers her father wondering if any of his relatives were still over in the ILL area before he died. If you are related to this family please feel free to email me, I have some census info and perhaps something will ring a bell. Thank you Robin Holt Mccracken county KY
