Descendant of Willard's (Woolard/ Wollard), Groves, Collins, Chat(p)man, Faraone families from Wayne County and surrounding counties of Missouri. I started family tree research several decades ago when I suddenly lost my grandfather due to a tragic car accident. At that time, I realized I lost more than him but I lost the knowledge of learning more about my family and the stories families past down. That is when I started getting into family trees, cemetery research etc. at a young age of 19 but have not did much since that time many yrs ago due to life and have now gotten back into this additive quest. I want to preserve this knowledge for future generations of our family existence and help others get connected with their past relatives. You can learn so much. I once found a relative on the census records that died very young and asked a living aunt (in her 90's). She didn't remember but the more I questioned the more the memory came back. This was a lost story not past down and none of my family members even knew about this person because he died so young. It felt good to make this person alive again to people who didn't know about him because my aunt started telling stories about him.
