AN
OVERVIEW OF THIS WEBSITE
The information
contained in this website began with the researches of
the following surnames: KEATING, MARTEN, CAMP, and APPLEBEE.
My current area of concentration on the maternal side
of my family is with the APPLEBEE surname. On the paternal
side, I am concentrating on the KEATING surname. To the
extent that it is currently possible, information in this
database has been verified with at least two sources.
Each family report has its own set of citations. All italizied
numbers in the color of yellow are endnote/citation
numbers.
For whatever reasons,
many of the family names have had numerous alternate spellings.
An attempt has been made to use, in those transcriptions
of records that are posted elsewhere on this website,
the spellings of surnames as they appear in those records.
Researching individuals either directly or indirectly
connected to these four principal family branches has
revealed connections of numerous surnames.
IMMEDIATE MATERNAL
SURNAMES
Gottlieb Marten
and wife (Louise Geihler) arrived in the United States
from the Empire of Germany in the late 1800's. The family
settled in LaSalle County, Illinois, near Ottawa.
The Appleby(ee)'s
arrived in the United States before the early 1800's.
The patriarch of this branch may have once lived in Jamestown,
Virginia. Currently known records first place the family
in the New England area. Some members of the family located
to the prairies of Illinois about 1825 near Streator,
Illinois, in LaSalle County.
IMMEDIATE PATERNAL
SURNAMES
On the paternal
side of my family, James P. Keating and wife (Alice Cunningham)
were of Irish descent, but living in Scotland. They arrived
in Scotland about 1860. Six of ten sons and the only daughter
moved to the Streator area of LaSalle County, Illinois,
in the last quarter of the 19th century. My great grandparents
were Edward Francis Keating and Mary Maria O'Neil. Edward's
father was James P. Keating.
I know very little
about any ancestors with the surname of CAMP.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
PLANS
I am interested
in tracing the roots of all primary family branches within
various international shores. In the meantime, I hope
that you enjoy and profit by your visit to this website.
As time permits, it will eventually reference all the
database that makes up Ancestral Footsteps In the Sands
of Time. Data contained in this website is only for your
personal use and not for publication.
