Searching for ancestors to William R McKinney born 1859 died 1936 in Illinois [closed]

Question

My grandfather is Frank Carter McKinney born 1930 Knox, Illinois died 1991 in Va Beach.
My great-grandfather is Walter Wesley McKinney born 1895 Indian Point, Illinois died 1987, married to Clara and Zeta.
My great-great-grandfather is William R (possibly Reily) McKinney born Oct 1869 in Illinois died 1936, married to Rachel A. William R. may be a twin to his sister Nancy A. both listed as 9 mos old in census records.
My great-great-great-grandfather is William S. or William L. McKinney (McKenney) born 1822, lived in Clay County Illinois, married to Patsy. This is as far as I have been able to get.  The records covering Illinois are confusing to me. I've been able to track down my grandmother's lineage to the King of England and further back. I was closest to my grandfather than anyone else in my family and there are no older relatives left that I know of to find out anything further than what I have.  I would love to know if I'm Scottish or Irish or anything else.  I miss him, this is my tribute to his memory. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Julie, I am Dorothy with the Integrator Project. I saw your question and thought I would try to find some information for you. First I will do some research and then build some profiles for you of each person you listed. Once I do that I will add you as manager. It may take me some time, but wanted to let you know that I was going to attempt to do this starting tonight. I can only make profiles that connect, one at a time, may or may not be able to get to "the King of England", but whatever I do complete, later someone else can finish the connection or do more research where I left off. How does that sound to you??

Well she might still reply, we are doing the integrator challenge and this was one of the questions listed to work on, so I thought I would. Already started researching, will be making the profiles tomorrow...
