Dorothy, I've received emails that emails to you are bouncing. If any of you know Dorothy, I need a good email address for her... Linda Effingham County GenWeb Coordinator "All incoming and outgoing email is scanned by Norton's Anti-Virus, updated daily".

If you find the need to change your email address for either a query or surnames, please specify which one. If you have volunteered to do lookups, I need to know that, too. And..if it is for the surnames, PLEASE tell me which surnames. It takes me an inordinate amount of time to search each part of the alphabet to try to find you. Linda (who is very, very overwhelmed at the moment) Effingham County GenWeb Coordinator "All incoming and outgoing email is scanned by Norton's Anti-Virus, updated daily".

I am getting many, many complaints about email addresses not being current. This is something I just can't keep up with. Rather than trying to verify each email address with a separate email, I'm wondering if it would be prudent to start over, especially with the lookups, the queries, and the surname portions of the Effingham County GenWeb page. What do you all think? Linda Effingham County GenWeb Page Administrator "All incoming and outgoing email is scanned by Norton's Anti-Virus, updated daily".

All is well here. Have been thinking about asking if you would want to put a link to a list of ECGHS holdings (books available to researchers in Helen Matthes Library in Effingham) on your site. Good idea or not??? I have an updated list on the computer now, so I could send it to you. I would have to ask the other active members what they think about the idea. I see your Dad in the library from time to time. Also hear Doc on the radio. Take care.

All is HOT in AZ... well, all know that huh Linda? Doing some Effingham Co research as we speak... any one know if the M.E.

There has been so little activity on the list lately, and Rootsweb has had some problems... I thought I'd do a test to see if all was well. Linda List Administrator

Lawrence: When the Illinois State Archives microfilmed these newspapers for the Effingham County Genealogical Society they made an additional set for the Archives to keep on file. It is my understanding that newspaper microfilms can be ordered from the Illinois State Archives through inter-library loan. A good way to start would be to check out your own local library and see whether they can get these films on inter-library loan. If you have never tried reading old newspapers from the area where family lived you will find it can be pretty interesting, and with the use of a reader-printer you can copy anything you want. If the films are not available inter-library loan where you live then you might want to try scheduling a day at the library here in Effingham. You would find plenty of Effingham County records at your fingertips in the genealogy section to research your family.

Yes, Marian, Both of these papers are on microfilm and may be viewed at Helen Matthes Library in Effingham. The "Beecher City Journal" begins with May 1915 and the "Teutopolis Press" starts with April 1898.

Teutopolis may seem like a long way from Moccasin, but they always carried a lot of obituaries. The Beecher City Journal goes back a long way, also, and wasn't far from Moccasin. I believe both of these papers are on microfilm.

"Effingham Democrat", "Effingham Republican", "Altamont News" all cover that period of time, but there are not a lot of obituaries in those older papers. Yes, the Effingham Daily News is more recent, beginning in 1947. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laurence E.

Can someone tell me which newspaper would be the most likely to yield an obituary for someone who died in Effingham County in May 1904 [probably in or near Moccasin as that is where he is buried] ? Would it have been the Daily News back then or is that a more recent paper? Thanks, Larry Dickerson
