David, Thanks for the info! The reason I wanted the address for the Gary-Wheaton Bank is that the history of Wheaton, "From Tower to Tower" was commissioned by the bank to commemorate their 100th (?) anniversary. It held the copyright. If the bank is no longer in business, I wonder what my responsibility is regarding copyright? Hmmm...

Pat: The address for the Naperville Sun is 1500 W. Ogden Avenue, Naperville, IL, 630-355-0063. The paper is owned by the Copley Newspaper chain. Their web site is www.copleynewspapers.com.

I think what you are doing is great. I have family from DuPage (Addison area) (1860's) John and Fredricka Martin, and Henry and Mary Oldenburg (Elk Grove area) (1870's) so I am waiting for you to add that area to your site. If there is anything else you need, please feel free to contact me. I live in Kane County (Big Rock) and would be willing to help in any way I can. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Sabin <psabin@bellsouth.net> To: <ILDUPAGE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 10:09 PM Subject: [ILDUPAGE-L] DuPage Mailing Addresses > Hello, Again! > > I have a couple of books from which I would love to transcribe > information, but these particular ones are still under copyright.

Hello, Again! I have a couple of books from which I would love to transcribe information, but these particular ones are still under copyright. I was wondering if someone local could be so kind as to look up the snail mail addresses for: The Naperville Sun (it appears that this newspaper is owned by a group, and I can't find a Naperville address) The Gary-Wheaton Bank in Wheaton...is it still alive and well? Thanks in advance! Stop by when you can...it's changing every day! Pat Sabin DuPage Co ALHN-http://www.usgennet.org/~ahildupa/

My wife's ancestor Henry Beethe (Büthe) was a member of St. John (Rodenberg) Lutheran Church shortly after it was founded in 1851. According to family records he farmed west of Roselle, south of the railroad tracks. I am trying to find the location of this farm. Can this info be obtained from the Grantor/Grantee Indexes in the land records of the county seat? Richard F.

Hi, Everyone, I feel like it's been a long time since I've posted, but I've been busy with several genealogy projects! I have accumulated such a nice library on DuPage County and feel compelled to share it online. The American Local History Network asked me to offer a DuPage County site, and you can find the very beginning stages at: http://www.usgennet.org/~ahildupa/ My first goal is to transcribe large portions of "A History of the County of DuPage, Illinois," by C. W. Richmond & H. F. Vallette, published in 1857. I will move on to other transcriptions and features as time permits. I do need your help and would love to have your participation! I am offering a Surname Registry for DuPage County surnames, and this will give you the opportunity to list your primary surnames and also your URL if you have a genealogy website. Also, I would LOVE to include Biographies, Obituaries, Diaries, Letters, and other documents that will make our ancestors more real. If you have this information on your web page, I'd love to link to it. If you have anything you think might be of interest, and it is not under copyright, please let me know. Each town eventually will have it's own page, and I will add or link relevant information to that town page (you'll have to forgive me that I'm starting with Naperville!) I hope you'll visit and will think this will be a contribution to the DuPage County research community. If you have any ideas, suggestions, comments, please don't hesitate to share them. It will take time, but I hope it's a place you can visit and find something new each time. Pat Sabin DuPage County IL ALHN County Host New London County CTGenWeb CC Jonesborough, TNGenWeb Town C

Dear Pat, Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate the thought. Bonnie

Bonnie, I'm sure you're doing well just to get out of bed in the morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Pat Sabin BPBREWER83@aol.com wrote: > > Hi Cidney, > > Thanks for the book info.

Dear Gary, The Archives are moving. I'm not sure what they have, I have a lot of Lutherans I'm looking for too. Email me and I'll give you the location of their new digs. Bonnie

Evangelical Archive in Rosemont: What type and extent of records do they retain? Do they have birth/baptism, confirmation, marriage, death/burial records for congregations/churches in the Chicago area? How old of records? Are the records set up by congregation or pooled and segregated by chronology? My ancestors came from Pomeranian in the 1860's-1880's and lived in the Chicago area. All of them were Evangalisch/Lutheran. Has anyone visited and used the Archive in Rosemont? Thank you so much for your valuable work. Local congregation records have allowed me to find my living family. I grew up in Elmhurst not having any extended family. Now I can enjoy my extended family. God bless you, Gary Johnson, DDS

Thanks to everyone about the Evangelical Archives in Illinois. I hope I will be able to locate some information about MY GGGrandfather Frederick Ehinger, a pastor in Texas, the Midwest and Ontario Canada from 1850 to 1902. Bonnie

Would be interested in the name of the churches in Bloomingdale and Wayne Twps in @ 1862 era. Thanks for taking time for this look-up. Sharon

My grandfathers name was Edward L. Swikard. I have been trying to obtain some record of his death, with no success via the Cook County lists. Since my Dad, John Raleigh Swikard grew up in Downers Grove, I thought maybe he might have buried him there, although I don't think he would as his Dad had left his family in the early years, and had always remained in the Chicago City area working for Speigel Catalogue for 45 years. If anyone comes across this name, please let me know, he is remaining to be a critical mysterious link! I know his fathers date of death, but not his! Many thanks, Jackie Swikard-Shaffer
