My SHANK family ancestors have been traced back 12 generations, all the way back to Ulrich Schenk, born 1564 in Eggiwil, SWZ. The big job now is to try and fill in all of his family tree branches--I have several, but there are many/many yet to do.
My Mothers maiden name of GLASPY is currently being traced with the help of several long lost cousins, so far we have only traced back to Dr. George Galaspia, born ?? in Noble Co., Ohio. He was married to Miss Sarah Swails, Sept. 12, 1842. Her family name has been traced back further than the GLASPY name. This is all a work 'in progress'.
I am more than willing to share any data that I now have and would be thrilled to have you share your connecting family links to mine.
My other hobby is Kit Cars.
With considerable help from some close friends, I was able to start the Greater St. Louis Kit Car Club back about 1990. Since then, we have grown to have about 100 members from several states besides Illinois and Missouri. We have monthly meetings, generally held at local restaurants and with some help, I'm able to publish a bi-monthly news letter--help with articles is constantly being asked for--what do YOU have to share????
