My name is Phyllis Rippee and I am your site host. Although I was born and raised in Springfield, MO all of my roots go deep into Wright County. Research indicates that those early Wright County settlers to whom my father was not related, my mother was and they shared a common set of great-great-grandparents. Now living in Wright County by choice, I give you a cheerful welcome and invite you to browse the site to your heart's content. Y'all come back. You're always welcome. ,

COMING SOON: I WILL SET UP A PAGE WHERE YOU CAN SEND INFORMATION THAT YOU FEEL WILL "CORRECT" INFORMATION GIVEN HERE. I WILL NOT CHANGE ANY DATA THAT IS CURRENTLY ON A PAGE, BUT WILL PRESENT YOUR ALTERNATIVE VERSION. THIS WILL BE STARTED ON AN EXPERIEMENTAL BASIS, WILL BE SUBJECT TO CLOSE IF IT DOESN'T PAN OUT, AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONDENSE WHAT YOU SEND, SO THAT YOUR SPECIFIC POINT WILL BE MADE. I WILL NOT POST COMPLETE FAMILY HISTORIES. YOU WILL NEED TO STATE WHERE YOU BELIEVE THE MISTAKE IS. Example: Funeral Home Record for "Tater Brown" should be for Jonathan Tate Brownlow.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANYTHING UNTIL NOTIFIED THAT I AM READY FOR IT

NEW FEATURE: Stories derived from old Wright County Newspapers. Some will be autobiographical, or biographical in nature. They will be found under the heading "They Were Here." Some will be historical and will be found under "It Happened Here."

Newly-Formed Research Team (of experienced researchers) will look into our personal collections of Wright County Records and try to answer your query. It is a FREE service to you, so PLEASE be sure to NOT ask us to send you ALL the information we can find on your queried Surname(s). Give us a time-frame and the specific info that you wish us to search for. Also be sure to state if it is okay with you for the query to be placed in "Wright County Roots" (the FREE genealogy column in "The Mansfield Mirror" newspaper) and/or Gloria Bogart Carter's FREE genealogy column in the "Springfield News-Leader."
