My original intent was to work through Cory’s tree for his 3X Great Grandparents starting at the top and work down, but as I’m waiting on some queries to clarify and finalize some data, I thought I’d just start with those that I had the data I needed.
Carlisle Hastings and Hannah Granger are the parents of Cory’s 2X Great Grandfather Francis (Frank) Willis Hastings. He is then the father of Cory’s Great Grandmother Hannah Hastings. Hannah is the mother of his grandmother Geneva Perlette Storer.
Both the Hastings line and the Granger lines are well researched and documented plus Carlisle and Hannah stayed in Coral, IL for many years and were well respected, making the research a bit more straight forward.
For as well documented and respected as the family seems to be, I’m surprised that I haven’t located actual photos of Carlisle and Hannah, but they may turn up yet!

Cory and Nicole Family History 
This feels awkward, but I thought it might be fun. I am a descendant of Carisle and Hanah. My 2 x Great Grandfather was Arnold Douglas “AD” Hastings.
