Provenance - Genealogy

If your walking stick purchase has a name and/or location engraved on the handle or collar, it may be possible to trace. Some websites to search include: www.ancestry.com, www.genealogy.com and www.rootsweb.com. The last one is searchable without a paid subscription, but the other two do offer some free services. Another recommended site, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints site, which is free, at www.familysearch.org. States also put vital records online. Illinois has a terrific site at www.cyberdriveillinois.com/department/archives/databases.html. Another excellent site is www.cyndislist.com which offers more than 200,000 links to genealogy sites most of which are free.
