Ancestral Files of William Kinsey Koerber
As far back as I can remember, I have always been interested in family history. I guess I was bound to have an interest with a nickname of Kin, short for Kinsey. It also helped that my mother grew up surrounded by relatives. She is from Hamilton County, Indiana where her ancestors settled between the 1820's and 1870's. By the time she came around in the 1930's there were plenty of family stories that were repeated over and over. Luckily, she continued the tradition and that helped me get hooked on genealogy. It also was a benefit that her family was not all that bashful about revealing family scandals.
Two problems that I have come to find about genealogy are that there is too much information to organize, and too little information to be organized. Since a family tree spreads out like a fan, there is always an increasing number of directions to research. And with the Internet, information can be disseminated at a much faster rate than ever before. On the other hand, it never seems that there is enough information to get a full picture of any family member. I have attempted several times to put my notes in order, but with little success. My current attempt is to create this website where I can combine family stories, government records, photographs, theories, and other materials into one place. For this website, I tried to limit information mainly to my direct ancestors and their siblings.
Another advantage to uploading information to the Internet is that it is readily available to other researchers. I have tried to fully document
all the materials I have posted to the site. Feel free to use any of the information as well as share your thoughts and research. I can be
reached at [email protected]. Please remember this is a work in progress. I have found that the more I work on it, the more work there
needs to be done. I hope you find the site interesting and useful. The site will be expanded as time permits.
