Preview of Russell King Homer’s Ancestral History Volume II
The following is a list of ancestors of Russell King Homer and Eliza Williamson that was given as a preview of the work to follow in volume 2 of the Homer Family History Book. That book was never started until now. However, I have decided to make it into a website, rather than a book.
Unfortunately, due to the amount of work that needs to be done, the following is only the list of names given in the original family history book. I am in the process of linking those names to their LDS Family Search memories page. Family search is not the only source of information that I intend to use, but it is where I’ve decided to begin.
If you have any questions, comments, corrections, or concerns and would like to help with this project, please email me (Adam Homer) at
Aphomer@gmail.com

The preview contains the names of parents only — with some birth information given for better identification. Volume 2 will include the complete family (as known) with sources given for birth, marriage, and death information. Each family is given a number, and the number following a name indicates the parent family. For example: Russell King Homer and Eliza Williamson are family No. 1; Russell King Homer’s parents are family No. 2 (Benjamin Cobb Homer and Anna Warner); and Eliza Williamson’s parents are family No. 108 (John Williamson and Nancy Sickles).
Genealogical information for the Anderson, Thornton and Petty lines (other wives of Russell King Homer) was not in their possession at the time of the republication of the Homer family history book.
