I envey your purchase. We loved the town & it's beautiful old homes. I found out while visiting the Historical Society that my gr grandfather, Jethro Jefferis,built several buildings there ie the Baptist Church & the first seminary buildings. Enjoy that house!!!

Surnames: Warfield, Leggett, Sword Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yg.2ADE/899.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Jim, It looks like your ancestors and my Warfield ancestors came to Carroll County about the same time, although mine were a little earlier. Nicholas Warfield (b1796, probably in MD), came to Carroll County from Franklin Co., PA, in the mid to late 1840's. I've had trouble finding any obituary for him in 1869, the supposed date of his death. I can't swear to it, but I believe I've seen the Schreiner or Schriner name before, probably on a late-1800's Plat map or perhaps a census. I'll check it tonight. Good luck. Dave Clarke, Melbourne, FL.

Since my ancestors came to Carroll Co. in 1854, while your are viewing those 1860 to 1869, microfilms, I'd appreciate it greatly if you would keep an eye out for any mention of the SCHREINER, or SCHRINER, surname. No need to do anything extraordinary, just let me know if you run across them. I will try to obtain the info. and films you mentioned also. Thanks again, Cheers Jim

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yg.2ADE/899.1 Message Board Post: The best source for newspapers of Carroll County (or all of Illinois) is the Illinois Historical Library in Springfield. They have microfilm of most of the newspapers of Illinois, and they are available for interlibrary loan and in most cases, to buy. I have both done reasearch there and bought a roll of microfilm from them (1860-1869 Mt Carroll -- just misses your dates). Probably the biggest newspaper at the time was the Savanna Times Journal, published in Savanna. There was also the Mt. Carroll Mirror Democrat (under several names). Other Carroll County Newspapers were in Chadwick, Lanark, Milledgville, Shannon, and Thompson, although I didn't check to see if issues were available for the 1870's from those papers. So it depends on where in Carroll County you ancestors lived. There is a searchable database of Illinois newspapers that gives the holdings of the Illinois Historical Library, but I don't have the URL handy. A quick search of "Illinois Newspapers" should find it. The library publishes a paperback book of its holdings, listing which issues of which newspapers it has. Copies of the Savanna Times Journal can also be found in the genealogy room of the Savanna library, if you are in the area. Be aware that if you don't have an exact date and want to look through all the newspapers from 1870 to 1879 searching for someone, you have a very tedious task ahead of you. Headlines were small or were not used at all, and obituaries can be found ANYWHERE in the paper. You might find one in the middle of an article on a new shipment of Michigan apples that has just come in! I just started browsing my 1860-1869 Mt. Carroll newspaper microfilm real and was able to get through about three issues an hour.

Would someone kindly tell me the name of the newspaper I could contact for an obit for a death that occurred on Nov. 24, 2001 in Mt. Carroll ? Thank you so much, Cynthia cfsalvador@elknet.net

Rowley Born in ILLinois 9-9-1882 died 10-20-1941,from his death certificate i have his father as Franklin Rowley born in ILL. and his mother Martha Rowley (Cohagan) Born in ILL. According to the Missouri 1920 Census he lived in Vandalia Missouri on a streeet ( Hardin ) with his wife Nellie F. Rowley (Lakin) b. 1893 d. 1966 At this time 5 kids were born and lived with them, Elmer Rowley b.1909 in MO. George Rowley b.1911 in MO. Richard Rowley b.1913 in MO. Nellie Rowley b. 1914 in MO. Next door to them the Census shows that a George Lakin b.1874 in ILLinois with his wife and kids. This would be my greatgrandfather and family.(Nellie's mother and father) Ellen Lakin b.1852 (wife) Thomas Lakin b.1897 son Mary Lakin b.1903 daughter in law Charlie Holland b.1902 grandson I also found a David Rowley b1880 in ILL. that i believe to be my grandfathers brother(brother of Joseph). He lived on State Street with his family. Mamie Rowley b.1881 wife Earl Rowley b.1907 son Ralph Rowley b.1913 son Hallie Rowley b. 1918 The reason i believe David is my grandfather's brother is Joseph Rowley,George Lakin and David Rowley all three work at the same Brick plant and lived within a block of each other, at the time 1920 Vandalia Missouri's population was under 1,000 and that his mother and father were also born in ILL. If any of these names ring a bell with you please contact me, or if you are at the county seat doing research on birth records and come across my grandfather's records and let me know it would be greatly appreciated.Im sorry i dont know the county in Illinois that he was born just the dates and parents names, and have not found the family of Franklin and Martha in any Census.

Hi, My name is Bob Mosher, and I am the USGenWeb Coordinator for Carroll and Whiteside Co. sites. I live in Arizona and taught a class this fall in Computers and Genealogy, I set up a web page to use during the class and thought that you might find the site interesting, it is NOT a comprehensive, 100's of links site, but rather is links to sites that I have found to be most useful, plus links to some material that I used in the class, census analysis, sources, etc. I invite you to give it a look! http://members.home.net/bmosher9/ASUWLLA/ASUWLLA.htm Bob Mosher
