I live in IL about 20 minutes from St Louis, and we go bummin' in southern IL pretty often, but it seems like it's always on the weekend when the courthouses are closed. I posted on here back in May or June, but I haven't heard anything as of yet. My grandma divorced Dewey sometime in the late 20's, moved up here and remarried. She married a county deputy who managed to keep Dewey away. A few months prior to her death, I got her to open up somewhat and get a few names. Dewey's dad was called Lum, mother Olive, sisters Ruby, Edna, Olivia, and there was another son who died young. Somewhere I have a Hicks side to my family... I'll keep huntin'. Thanks again for the replies, Chris
