Doesn't someone have an ancestor named George that was born in IL ca 1867? How about this George Kime that was married to a Nancy? They might have named a son George!

Cindy, Kime and Kimes were separate lines in LaSalle Co., with no connection that I could determine. I think that there was also a Keim line there also. Fortunately for my research, these families were wonderfully consistent about the spelling of their surnames. Bill Bojanowski Highland, IL
