I have been trying to connect the REED/REID/READ families of southern Illinois, specifically Johnson Co.IL. So what I did was write down the REED/REID/READ families I found in the census records on note cards and tried to organize them. I have tried to make some connections with families throughout the years. For example, my family line is Family E. The connections may or may not be accurate. It was my way of connecting families. So I thought I would throw this out to the REED/REID/READ researchers to see if it would help anyone. I have separated it into 3 different messages: 1820 to 1870; 1880 and 1900; 1910 & 1920.
