William R. Boyer, Jr. of Decatur, Illinois

I am interested in researching the following names: Boyer, Conklin, Patrick, Williams, Dillehunt, Braden, and Nesbitt. I use FTM. Much of my current family tree data was supplied by my Aunt, Lucille Reddick (Boyer) who became a member of the DAR. My ex-father-in-law, Harold Dorsett has supplied me with many names for the benefit of my sons. My ex-wife has a family geneology book called the Family of Peter Fifer which also has a significant amount of names for my sons. I am interested in finding more information about my great(2) grandfather, John Henry Boyer. The FTM data points to ancesters from Germany. I welcome input from others who may be part of the family. I would like to organize a Conklin Family reunion by 2002. To my knowledge this has never been done.
