Right Sally, All, (Hopefully this got thru to All, but cant guarantee anything nowadays. W.) In spite of what's taken place, we try to continue to compile & make available to researchers who have ancestors who came from the east & Europe before they landed in IL for one reason or another, for whatever length of time, until they moved on to some other place. That's a lot of info, but several different sites offer a multitude of info out of this one state. When calm sets in, others will see what our purposes are--to help. Whether No., So., E. or W., ILROOT or ILROUTE66 we try to do good things! Doesn't everyone agree? God Bless All!
