Still Searching...
A Genealogical Quest for
my Still Family (and Whiteside County, Illinois) Roots
My name
is Dawn Everling, and I am on a genealogical journey of discovery. My research
has carried me back through more than four centuries of my family's history
---across continents and countries, oceans and rivers, ---in cities and small
towns. When some little piece of information fills in a part of the puzzle, I
feel like I've uncovered a treasure. All of my searches are important to me.
But there are certain places, and certain family names, that burn brighter in my
heart---that beg to be explored more completely. My mother's grandfather,
Milford JOHNSON, was born in Morrison, Whiteside County, Illinois on December
21, 1865, to Abram/Abraham and Margaret (STILL) JOHNSON. (Abram/Abraham JOHNSON
was born in Lincolnshire, England in 1830. Margaret STILL was born ca
1831 in Ohio. ) It is Milford's background that keeps me awake sometimes,
because I need to
know who and where he came from.
This
page is a presentation of
some of what I have discovered about the JOHNSON and STILL families, and the
county they lived in, as well as other branches of my family tree. I've
compiled a list of people doing research on various STILL/STELL/STILLE/STELLE
families, with a short listing of who and what they are looking for. So
far, there are 89 researchers listed. If you have a query about a
STILL/STELL/STILLE/STELLE family, please e-mail me...If you are already on the
list and your e-mail address has changed, please let me know.
My husband, Charles Everling, is also very involved in
genealogy. Some of his lines are: EVERLING, CURRENT, MOUGEY, BIRD, and MAGNET.
His homepage includes a transcript of the diary kept by his great-grandmother,
Emmaline CURRENT BIRD, on her Journey through
Yellowstone Park in 1896. The trip took nearly a month on horseback.
Emmaline was 65 years old at the time. It is fascinating reading,
especially if you've been to Yellowstone Park.
