Welcome to the Illinois Genealogy Trails
Jasper County website!
This website is full of searchable genealogical data. This is not
a site of just links - these pages are full of everything you need to find your family's history, including obituaries,
biographies, marriages, birth notices, census data, cemetery listings and much more.
My name is Kim Torp and as your county host I try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely
available to all. We gratefully accept contributions of raw data such as census information, marriage/birth/death
records, obituaries, county histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that would help someone build
their family tree!!!
Feel free to email
me with your contributions - every little bit helps.
These pages are updated frequently, so CHECK BACK OFTEN!
All the information on these pages has been laboriously gathered
at great time and expense by myself and some very generous volunteers. We welcome you to search for Jasper County
families and history here.... HOWEVER, please respect the amount of effort we have put into this endeavor and DO
NOT take anything from these pages to place on other websites. Feel free to link to this main page (only).
Please read the copyright statement.
And conversely, please don't submit information to me that you
have copied off of another website.... I try very hard to obey copyright laws.

My Hicks Family
My ancestors established their family homestead in this county
in 1851. The Hicks homestead was located in Grove township, near the town of Gila and next to Kern's, "sometimes
called Hicks", Graveyard. Immediate neighbors were the Eagleton, Jack, and Bolton families. Some families
that married into my Hicks line were Wilson, Strole, Printz, Wright, Hinton, Linthicum and
Thompson.
My Hicks family also previously lived in Coles County, IL, Bracken County, KY and Kanawha County, WV before coming to Jasper County.
More information on these locations can be found at my personal website at Hicks Genealogy Page
**I regret that I do not have the time to
perform personal research for you**
But if you're related, email me
NOTE: PLEASE CHECK YOUR LISTING ON THE RESEARCHERS LIST
TO MAKE SURE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS CURRENT.
Where'd the data go?
This index page was getting wayyyyy too big with all the data linked straight from
here, so now the data is linked from an index page related to that topic.
All that data is still there, just organized. :-)
