Use the search form on page http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form, and input state name, county name, and feature type (cemetery). There is a good printed index to burials for most Alexander County cemeteries. I don't have a copy, but I used it at the public library in Cairo a number of times on "field trips" to the county. You need someone with a copy to volunteer a lookup for you!

In the book on Alexander, Union, and Pulaski Co., I found a E. B. Garaghty, son of Eugene Garaghty, a prominent farmer and grocer from Cape. Although his age doesn't match up exactly, I am wondering if this could be the Edmond B. Garaghty who married Eliza Hutton in 1884. Eliza was Eliza J. Robbs, daughter of James and Catherine Randolph Robbs, who lived in Alexander after the Civil War, until James's death in 1872. I can find no record of her earlier marriage to Hutton at this time, although I have his name from a cousin. Also, Garaghty's 2nd wife died in 1881. The book gives his birthdate as 1840, which would make him 44, not 41. Is anyone familiar with the Garaghty family. Sharon

Don't anyone out of town plan on going to the courthouse until after Nov. 8. It is closed to researchers. We made the trip from Paducah and couldn't get in. Sharon

This is almost too wonderful to be true but it is! I have already found several of my ancestors and printed them off. Good Luck in finding your family too! Patti How would you like to see, save and print actual census pages for the federal censuses of 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1870? For free? Yes, it's true First go to: http://www.fremontlibrary.org/ The Freemont Library in Mundelein, IL Click on : Database (on left) Click on: Genealogy and Local History Online This brings you to HeritageQuest Online which I guess the library has a subscription for. All of the above censuses are indexed and for the whole country. If you search 1870, be aware there are two pages for each number, like 270a&b. When I searched for my Hugh Flynn, I got the first page and his name was not on it. Above the image is PAGE with an arrow going back and an arrow going forward. The search brings you to the first page 270a, when I click on the forward arrow for page I got the next image, 270b which sure enough had my Hugh Flynn! Now if that is not enough, you can actually browse the 1820, 1830, 1840 and 1910 censuses which are not indexed. At the top of the page is the Browse button. Word of warning: as this gets out, it gets pretty busy and sometimes I get an error message when trying to connect. Also, if you get the user name and password, go back out to the library and start again.

Hi List In the IL death index I found a Isereal Niocolas Mc Carty listed as dying in Tamms Twp, Alexander Co., IL June 18, 1918. Is there anyway someone could search indexes for burial, land, etc. Thanks Lin

Rich, I have Vol 3 and 5 of "Where they Sleep" and did not see a James Lee listed. Carol

Could someone with access to the publication "Where They Sleep" please look for a James Lee, probably died between 1830-1880 and supposed to have been buried in Perks, Pulaski County, Illinnois? This is my 3rd great grandfather and he lived in Alexander county. He has been elusive and any help is truly appreciated. Thanks- Rich Lee lee@socket.net
