> Can anyone tell me where Cantrall, Illinois is or was located. I > understand it was outside Springfield. Cantrall is about 8 miles due North of Springfield on Route 29 (one might say 5 miles the way Springfield has grown in recent years). It is in Fancy Creek Township of Sangamon County, along Cantrall Creek (a tributary of the Sangamon River). It is also within three miles of Menard County to the North, and within two miles of it to the West. The vicinity was in Madison County prior to 1821. > Also, can anyone tell me where I might find cemetery records for this area? You might check the links on the Sangamon County page http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/sangamon.htm -unfortunately, nothing from Sangamon County has been posted on the Rootsweb Tombstone Project. You also may be able to get some help from: Sangamon County Genealogical Society PO Box 1829 Springfield, Illinois 62705-1829 http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/scgs.htm

Can anyone tell me where Cantrall, Illinois is or was located. I understand it was outside Springfield. Also, can anyone tell me where I might find cemetery records for this area? Thanks for any help, Virginia

Hi- Looking for any information on a William S. Summers. The only information I have is that he died in DeWitt County, Illinois and I have a copy of his marriage certificate to a Syntheann Isham in Dec. 1828 in Henry County,. Indiana. I looked it up on Ancestry.com and it had a different last name for Syntheann (I can't recall at this moment.) There seem to be a couple others researching Summers in Henry County, Indiana and we are not having any luck! Perhaps it will turn out they are all related! Thanks, Karen Abbott in the Chicago burbs.

To make your query work harder for you ... keep in mind the old rules of news reporting and include as many of the following as possible: WHO: State the names of people as completely as you can. WHAT: Try to limit your query to one or two specific events or bits of information. Post another one or more later with additional questions rather than load all your questions into one. In this way each of your questions will stand out and get attention. WHEN: Dates are important, if you don't know the day, month and year try to put in a period (1790s, late 1800s, etc.) WHERE: Mention the location in the body of the query. Include a more specific location if you can. WHY: Why are you searching for this (these) individual(s)? Describe your connection to him/her. Here is a good guide for writing a Query that will get your answers. I try to post it every few months for new list members. It is also good to use this principle for asking for look-ups it will help your volunteer find your family. HOW: How your query appears will often get subscriber's attention. Check spelling, grammar and format. Apply the KISS system: Keep It Simply Simple. SUBJECT FIELD: To get the most from your query, place the SURNAME, LOCATION, YEAR in the subject field. Remember! Many subscribers belong to multiple list servers; therefore, many go through their mail looking at subject fields only. Unfortunately, messages with "My Family," "My Line," "My Grandfather," "My JONES," etc., as subjects are deleted without ever being opened. REPETITION: Once you have an acceptable looking query, save it and update it as necessary. Use it again about once a quarter to touch base with new members. Also, you may use it on web sites that accepts queries.

I have prepared a report using Census records Marriages on the Surname Johnson in DeWitt 1840-1870. I did not add any cemetery inscriptions nor did I separate the families.

Okay Matt and Lara, Do I have this close to right now: Dinah Clifton b. 5-28-1820 married 1st Samuel Harris, 2nd Unknown Robb, 3rd James Scott and 4th Martin Scott Scott, do you know the year that Samuel Harris died?? There is a three year span between James b. 1844 and George b. 1847, is it possible he could be a child of Dinah and Robb?? In 1848 she is married to James as Dinah Robb. Thanks to both of you for helping me with this.

I just noticed the marriage date for James and Dinah. George probably isn't theirs. Lara
