Hi, Renee. Hopefully others might respond to your query, too. According to the telephone book, there is one Hermeling listed in Germantown. You might try an internet locator like http://www.anywho.com/index.html for the State of Illinois. Those with a zip code that begin with a 61xxx are further upstate, probably closer to Chicago. Quincy might be 150 miles from here, give or take 50. Did you try the "Search our site for your Clinton County ancestor" that is at the top of our basic page? I see 34 links, including one to the "Emigration, etc." page. And the 1920 census, and marriages, and burials, etc. We have a volunteer-for-a-fee person that will do look-ups in the St. Boniface Germantown records, she is the last person listed on http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilclint2/lookups.htm The church will not respond to your queries, they will give it to her. You could also try the http://surhelp-bin.rootsweb.com/srchsite.pl?site=ILClinton and tick that second circle that says "Surnames and selected Soundex equivalents". That will give you some alternate spellings that are online, you'll probably pick all 3 alternate spellings and check each link. The Hermeling ones might be included in the 34 links above, but the other 3 will be new. The cemeteries have their own index at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilclint2/cemetery/index.htm I don't see anything that might be transcribed as Hermeling in the 1880 census, although the familysearch.com might have something transcribed better. In 1900, I see William born in 1846 in Germany and his family, in case you have access to Ancestry.com. There is also a Mary Hermline born Sep 32 in Germ that could be yours. She is living in the household of Bowing, Benard, Feb 68, IL. I don't have access to a 1910 census index. If you need help on any of those, just ask. I didn't see anything on Frank, but he might show up on one of those online indexes if you just query for "Illinois". Dorothy ----- Original Message ----- From: Renee To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 8:58 PM I found your website while searching for my family history. I was trying to find when the Hermelings came to the US. I know that soon after coming to the US they lived in Illinois and that several still live in Illinois today. Do Hermelings still live in Clinton County today? I believe that my great grandfather Frank Hermeling lived in Quincy, Illinois. Is that near Clinton County? Is there any record of a Frank Hermeling? Any help would be appreciated. I love your website. Thanks

Renee If you don't get any responses I can give you a snail mail address of a cousin who just married a Hermling. Maybe she could help you out. Couldn't find a Frank in Germantown in 1900 census.
