I noticed the LDS seemed to be the keepers of the history, so much leads back to them.

The thing that makes me disheartened is so many others have my family in their tree and they all have the same limited info on Lewis.

Google is a dead end, I may try ancestry.com again for a month and see if there is anything new, as well as a trip to the library. Maybe even a trip to Shelby County and their library. Had no luck so far with Cemetery lists from Shelby County.

Thanks for the advice so far, gotta keep on looking!

From what I understand, their version of the bible states that people can only get to heaven if they pray for them, and by keeping track of everyone, that ensures that they don't miss anyone in their prayers.

BTW, every deceased person who has a S.S. number has it listed on that page.

I did some looking through Ancestry dot com as well. I was amazed at how far back I could trace just a few people on my mom's side of the family, but then again I'm unsure as to how accurate the info really is. I do know that my great grandfather from my dad's side of the family came over here from Poland and settled in Minnesota; he had some siblings who stayed there.
