If you have written a story about one of your ancestors, a great way to share it with others is to submit it for publication on the Rock Island County Illinois Genealogical Society website.. People around the world will be able to find it through a simple Google search. Take a look at what is already published on the website. It can be a single page or a more extensive story. There does not need to be a Rock Island County connection. We want to get those stories out there!
One of the family stories on our web site has been used as a source for a Wikipedia article!
