Searching for family members of Carl Bertram "Bert" Clinton.
My name is Lethia Emmlyn Clinton/Jewell-Metcalf/Van Luven. Friends and family call me Emma.
I was born in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois and raised in Effingham, Effingham County, Illinois. I never knew my biological father Carl Bertram "Bert" Clinton. From birth I was raised by Edward Norman Jewell Sr. I married Marshall Allen Phelps/Metcalf May 11,1968. I divorce Marshall Dec 7, 1981 and married George William Van Luven Dec 10, 1981.
My mother, Lora O. Gillespie, my step father, Edward Jewell, my younger brother, Edward Norman Jewell Jr. and my daughter, Marsha Anne' Metcalf-Richards/Klopp are interned in the Old Funkhouser Cemetary, Funkerhouser, Effingham County Illinois.
I am searching for any information I can find on the Clinton Family born in Effingham County, Illinois.
Please feel free to email me if you might have information that could help me with my quest to discover who I am.
Thank you so very much
Emma Van Luven

UPDATE: March 10, 2020
I have discovered through DNA testing that Carl Bertram "Bert Clinton" is my biological father. I have a brother, whose biological father is also Bert Clinton.
Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to know and love Bert. I am looking for any information I can find.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
