Dear Listmembers, The old German newspaper "Ostfriesische Nachrichten" was published by Pastor L. Hündling [Huendling} in 1882 in Iowa as a connecting paper between the people in the new American settlements and the old homeland with news and events in Ostfriesland and the "New World". Later you could find this newspaper all over the U.S. and Ostfriesland. For the period between 1882 and 1915 the issues were microfilmed around 20 - 30 years ago. According to a descendant of Pastor Huendling about 10 years ago, most of the issues between 1916 and 1971 got lost on the way to a processing center to be microfilmed. Besides Rev. Kenneth DeWall and others, who published in the past some indexes of (only) obituaries, we started in 1997 reading each newspaper for 1882 - 1915 and 1916 - 1971 (single issues) from the front to the back and taking all of the personal data in obituaries and local news into computer files. We added also interesting stories about the events in the New World - especially for the German readers -. So far we have listed 10,300 names of deceased between 1882 and 1915 plus 12,300 names of relatives, and until 1971 only 2,000 deceased / 5,000 relatives. Now we are looking for issues of this newspaper between 1916 and 1971. The undersigned would appreciate your answer if you have access to those issues. We have the microfilms from Crest Information Technologies and Heritage Crest, both in Cedar Rapids, IA. Most of the single issues after 1916 are scattered all over the U.S. and Germany. We guess, maybe finding them in the attics, etc. of old East Frisian settlements in the States. Thank you very much in advance for your help in preserving the data. Sincerely, Hans-Georg Boyken Ostfriesland-Society of Iowa, Inc. [email protected]

Hopefully Jansen and Kampschrader descendants will reply also. Like you, I didn't see their marriage in http://www.sos.state.il.us/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html Our neighboring Washington County only has marriages recorded through 1858 in that data base. Have you found his immigration ship manifest - any chance they were already married even if she was just 16 or 17? Have you considered sending an email/letter to the St. Damian's church since you know Wilhemina was baptized there? Their email and snail mail addresses are at http://www.diobelle.org/parishes/bycounty.html A small donation to the church for their time/copying (?) would probably not be refused.

Does anyone have a reference of when the hospital in Carlyle was closed/converted to a "Home for the Aged"? I'm trying to track down the range of dates when children might have been delivered at that hospital, or verify that they never had an OB ward. IL, Carlyle: St. Julia's Hospital / St Mary's Home for the Aged Thanks in advance, Frank

The majority are for men who served in Illinois units but include significant numbers of men who served from Missouri, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, New York... These deaths cover a time period in Illinois when deaths were often not recorded at the county level (pre-1916).

Many of us are aware that DNA testing specifically for genealogy purposes would soon be available, and the time has come. There is a company that is doing such testing, and if you are interested in starting a "project" (that being a sufficient number of male descendants with a given surname), there is a reduced rate for the service. To find out more, you can go here: <A HREF="http://www.familytreedna.com/">Family Tree DNA - we do genetic tests for your genealogy questions!</A> As RootsWeb does not allow discussion of commercial sites via its lists (other than announcing availability of a service), should you have any questions, please do not respond to the list.

Hi listers, Please do not send virus warnings via the Clinton County list. RootsWeb rules prohibit the use of their lists for this purpose.
