I was bitten by the bug, called genealogy, some 30 years ago. I am fascinated by the history of my ancestors. So far I have found one skeleton in my closet. His name was Hansel G. Horn and there was a $100 reward for his capture due to his escape from the Illinois Penitentiary, Friday Aug. 7, 1840. My 9th great grandfather was Francis Cooke who came over on the Mayflower. I’m sure the rest of my ancestors led exciting lives and the quest is to find records or documents to prove their very existence. And the search goes on.
