Risley's in Illinois

I am doing research on the family lines for my husband and myself. This has become import as we are Civil War re-enactors and became interested in where different family members fit into the war. It is hard sometimes when the families moved around a lot. But that is also part of the challenge we face in doing research. I look forward to searching more on the Risley's, Cornell's, Kellogg's and the Siedschlag's (this line is from Germany/Prussia).
