In my line the name Abeln was spelled two different ways.. Able, and Abelin. You may want to check these other spellings to see what you find. My Able family came from Diedesfeld Germany and married into the Glas / Glass line in the early 1800's. The glass family did move to Quincy IL. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Nix" <nixtim@auden.webster.edu> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 3:28 AM Subject: [ILADAMS] Marriage records... > Does anyone know what sort of information is in the Adams Co. marriage > records that are available on microfiche from the LDS collection?

Sue: I've seen quite a few spellings for the name: Abel, Abelen, plus the ones you mentioned. I even found them after much searching in the 1860 census, and only afterward realized why I couldn't find them in the index: the name had been misread as "Aheln". However, even checking misspellings, I've had little luck. I only recently found them in 1880 (only because familysearch.org put up that index), and I still can't find them in 1870. Probably part of the reason I haven't found them in other records is because I'm in St. Louis, and Quincy is far enough away that the other records aren't immediately available locally. -Tim Nix Sue Masten wrote: >In my line the name Abeln was spelled two different ways.. >Able, and Abelin.
