Also, does anyone have the address that I should contact to see if someone was born in Coles Co. in 1907? I know the IL state birth records start later than that. I know my ggreat-grandfather, McClelland Flock died in Mattoon in 1920. His death certificate stated that he had lived there at least 15 years. I have been searching for a list of children for him. I am trying to prove that he was my g-grandfather's father, as my grandmother told me, but I have never seen any documentation whatsoever. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Lynne Norris
