Ancestry

I'm still searching for Peter McKee when I get chance. I'm been wanting to post on a facebook group for help but just haven't sat down and done it. I've had some distant cousins contact because of my DNA report which is kinda fun.

Still Searching for Peter McKee

Mocavo sent me an email about more records being added so I decided to do a search.  I am still searching for my paternal great great grandfather, Peter McKee.  His son, my great grandfather, William F. McKee is buried in a small town cemetary near Monticello, Illinois.  When I visited the grave site there wasn't a death date on the stone.  I asked my dad and he said it was 1952 or 1954.  I ordered William's death certificate and found out it was 1952.  Also, on the certificate was his mother's and father's name which I didn't have.  They were Peter McKee and Emma Perkens McKee.  And the line stops there.  I have search Ancestry, Genealogy Bank, google, Family Search, and now Mocavo but haven't found them.  Mocavo had a ton of hits and I didn't have time to look at every one.  I plan on revisiting that search soon.

New Job

I got a new job at El Paso County DHS on April 1, 2013.  Since then I've put my blogs on the back burner.  Way back there!  The job is great!  I plan on being there a long time.  
I'm still working on my Ancestry family tree.  I'm still trying to find my Great Grandfather Peter McKee.  Larry got me a Shop Family Tree gift card which was awesome.  I've used it up now.   I've been doing a lot of reading but no luck finding Peter McKee.  
We have a Nailer family reunion this year so the plan is to write the story and share with Grandpa Nailer.  There's a lot to do but I'm hopeful.
