Welcome to Simpson Family Genealogy - This site's focus is on the Simpson Family that traveled to Missouri from Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century. Much of the family settled in Fort Scott, Kansas and the Kansas City Area.
The search for ancestors of the Simpson and other families continues. We are looking for the Simpson roots in Ulster, and with some luck, we can track them back to Scotland and beyond. If you have any information on any of these lines, or if you find information here that is useful for your own family research, please let me know. I can provide original source attributions and other information you might find useful. I would also appreciate reciprocal web links to this site (http://www.roots.budzilla.com) or my email address, munged if possible, so that others might have an easier time finding us. Any information is appreciated.
We recently had a great trip to Linn County, Kansas and an extremel;y productive stop at the Trading Post Museum - we are still sorting out the Neighbors, Mathews, Calvins and Church connections that we discovered there - lots more later. Expect a complete site rebuild by summer 2007
The obituary page has been updated with a color-coded grid to make seeing relationships a bit easier.
A list of Mathews marriages in Johnson County, Missouri has been added to the Documents section. We'll add some new information from Lafayette County, Missouri soon.
There are new images posted in the photos section, including a great picture of blacksmith Anderson "Boss" Neighbors, Sarah Neighbors' dad.
