FYI - The 2791 SURNAMES from "Cemetery Inscriptions of Clay County Illinois", transcribed by John W Tanner and published by the Richland County Genealogical and Historical Society is now online. Note: This is a surname index only! There are over 75000 actual names in the book. I received permission from both John Tanner and the RCGHS before proceeding. The information is available via the "Cemetery" page or by using Surname Helper and doing a search. If you haven't tried Surname Helper, you should -- it just might help you find information on a lost relative elsewhere in the state or nation. It can be accessed from the "Queries and Surnames" page, or directly from http://cgi.rootsweb.com/surhelp/ Please let me know of any errors / omissions you find in the listing. What's next? Any volunteers to do something similar -- Census? Probate index? Marriages? Obituaries? Birth? -- does anyone out there have access to records, and some time? I would certainly be willing to help, but can't do it all. HELP.
