On my recently published website http://www.poorhousestory.com -- which is a clearinghouse for information about 19th Century American Poorhouses -- I have featured ILLINOIS as a state where poorhouse history has been very well documented. You can see this at page http://www.getccs.com/phl/houses.htm and you can read what we have posted to the ILLINOIS page at http://www.getccs.com/phl/poorhouses_in_illinois.htm If any of you know of any ILLINOIS Poorhouse information which we have not listed, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Linda

Seems to me someone was searching for Coppinger and I ran across this in Dick Eastman's latest newsletter: Copingers and Coppingers world-wide - This Web site currently consists of a complete copy, excluding the family trees, of the "History of the Family of Copinger or Coppinger" by Walter Arthur Copinger last published in 1884: http://www.copinger.org.uk Cheryl Rothwell LoganCty@mindspring.com

For National Guard personnel records from the 1920s (or military records in general), check www.nara.gov (the National Archives web site). There is information there on how to get records back to the Revolutionary War.
