The Catt Family of Jasper & Crawford Counties in Illinois

I've been working on my family tree since I was in college. I got away from it for a few years and then dove back in about 5 years ago. I have documentation (legal records of some sort-marriage license, birth certificate, death certificate, probate records, wills, etc) to prove the links for almost everyone going back about 5 generations. Beyond that, I have relied heavily on other people's research and am at the mercy of their accuracy. Use what you can from what you see, enjoy the process of searching...after all mushroom hunting is almost as much fun as eating them!
