Below and following, will be three emails that represent one single document that will be at the STDL within the next three months for your viewing - note next three months. DO NOT expect it to be available tomorrow, because I still have it with me....... Please make a note to check for this document on one of your next visits. THIS will be a document that will interest people whose family names on in the semi-alphabetic listing in this first email. If the name you search is here, then there is at least one entry in the book. If the name you search for is not in this listing, then there is no entry for the name. I have checked it thoroughly and recorded all the names found. (you should be able to use CONTROL+F and insert your family name.... However, I would suggest that you scan the letter code for your name because of the spellings....it may be more productive for you...CONTROL+F will be more beneficial in the scanning of the OFFICIALS in the second of these emails and the third) In the semi-alphabetic section, you will note "sig" near some of the names. This is an indication that at least one time in this book, the individual has left a signature, not a writing of the name by another, but a real signature. This document will also be of interest to those who are interested in township history, for it is the first of the official records after the sectioning of the township and will show you those that were 'around and about town' when Mr Nerge decided what we would be called.... ! Further, this is the first of the documents that we will be transcribing and making available. There are nearly 15, perhaps more, which we hope to have done in short order... Be aware tho, the copying is not what takes the time - tho it does take a lot of time, patience. The actual equipment and supplies that we use is a gift. The transcribing, which makes it easier for you to determine if it is a book containing fragments of your family history does take time. In this particular issue, the hours near 50 - copying, numbering, transcribing, double checking, making comments about findings, making duplicate copies, making refined copies, cataloging on paper, and hyperion entry, posting to the list.... if you want a pretty version of this and a reminder for you, click on my eaddy here [email protected] and put "1851-1915" in the subject. DO NOT hit reply. remember now, give me time to get the copies to the library and the library time to catalog...- 3 months before you start looking, then use the card catalog or hyperion to see if it is available Schaumburg Township Supervisor's Book of Records 1851 thru and including 1914 and a bit of 1915 compiled 2/2004 by Valentine MISSION - The mission of FPSAH - Facilitators for the Preservation of Schaumburg Area History - is to act as a facilitator in the collection of materials, artifacts, photographs, videos, oral and/or written personal histories, and insure the protection of all materials in order to further the knowledge, understanding, appreciation, and public awareness of the history of Schaumburg Township and surrounding environs.

Refer to Item 16 for a point of reference. The original book is with the Schaumburg Township in their archive box 117. There are 144 pages in this representation which may differ from the number of actual pages in the original book due to clippings, inside cover copies, miscellaneous findings in the book and perhaps several light/dark copies so that the reader has several options to view a page of marginal legibility.
