If you know someone who is on AOL and subscribed to any of Rootsweb's mailing list, you may want to pass this information on to them. When AOL comes back on line, I'll resend this out so the AOLers will know what has happened. Yesterday (December 18), AOL began blocking some of the Rootsweb lists (on server 5, some of the Irish lists) and Rootsweb felt the situation would be resolved within the normal 24 hours but today they are lost blocking lists on server 2. What will happen is after three bounces, you will be removed from the list. Please do not resub until the situation is resolved. You can check the list's mail by going access the list's archives. To keep aware of the situation, please check the Rootsweb Help Desk at: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ While I am at it, Rootsweb has begun to unsub all those with ATTBI email addresses because ATTBI mail is going to be discontinued soon. So, if you find you have been unsubbed, you can either resub with your new Comcast address or write me off list and I will resub you. However, I need both the new address and which list you are subscribed to (Teutopolis, Effingham County). AOLers, I suggest you write to the powers to be at AOL and complain..and LOUD! The message I sent out last night alerted me to the problem. Each and every member of this mailing list who had an AOL address had their message bounce back to me within seconds. If anyone has been unsubscribed because of this mess, I'll know about it and will be able to resubscribe them once I get the all-clear. I really wish AOL would get their act together. This happens every few months, it seems. <sigh> Linda Mailing List Administrator..

Dear Dorothy, Your books are a gift for all of us who have German roots in Effingham. My father's mother Eda Merz was born and raised there during this time period. She was the daughter of Martha Schwarz and Henry Merz who had a cigar factory in Effingham. I recall seeing a photo of a float with some relatives sitting in chairs on it. It was probably one of the July 4, celebrations. Thank you for your work.

I've recently published three books of Effingham County history -- written _as it happened_ in 1884-1886. The books are based on two continuous years of issues of the Effingham Volksblatt, a German-language newspaper which served the Effingham area for four decades. A bound volume of Volksblatt issues, from mid-June 1884 to mid-June 1886, is housed at the Monastery Museum in Teutopolis. Some four years ago, I photographed all the local content in these issues five column-inches at a time, and I'm just now getting around to translating and publishing it. The books contain the original German articles side-by-side with my English translation. These are the earliest known issues of the Volksblatt still in existence -- and they are NOT available on microfilm. Each book includes a surname index. There's news of many Effingham-area families, with a concentration on those of German descent. The books published so far cover news of Effingham, Teutopolis, and Sigel. I'm planning further titles with news of the county and towns like Altamont, Dieterich, Montrose, etc. for 2005. The current titles may be seen at Lange's News & Books on Jefferson Street in Effingham or ordered by mail from http://www.brumleve.org. The book of Effingham News is a particularly enjoyable read, with many stories followed over weeks or months. There's a terrific description of the 1885 4th of July parade, tours of the Vandalia Roundhouse and Effingham Foundry, crime, accidents, celebrations, births, deaths, marriages, travel and transportation -- everything you'd expect in a newspaper and more. Reading the books straight from start to finish really evokes the time period our ancestors lived in and helps us understand what life was like for them. And, of course, discovery of tidbits on particular ancestors is a great deal of fun! I've also submitted two articles to the Effingham County Genealogical and Historical Society quarterly for publication in coming months. Each contains excerpts from the books. One article is on the benefits of newspaper research and includes translations of a sampling of obituaries, and the other covers the "Mysterious Disappearance of the Mormann Sisters."

After the holidays are over, I will be adding the following information to the GenWeb site about some wonderful news..but wanted to give you a heads up in case you are going "home" for the holidays and want to check this out...and possibly do some genealogy research. 44 microfilm reels containing various county records are now part of the records of the Helen Mathes Library in Effingham. The reels were prepared from 205 decaying books of records rescued from the Effingham County Courthouse basement.

These records date from 1833 to 1973. Jane Schuette (the circuit clerk) deserves a big pat on the back for arranging for the preservation of our county history.

Just wanted to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe, enjoy the food and have fun with your families. I'm going home to Teutopolis in Effingham County to see my folks from November 30 to December 9.

This same thing happened to me... You CAN get a charge back through the credit card company by disputing the charges!! According to Capital One, they do alot of charge backs with Ancestry.com So, the money is not lost. Bob

Sorry -- I forgot to mention - One MUST make sure - if you dont want the service - make sure you send an e-mail - or call & get a confirmation number of CANCELLATION . There is also NO refund after 7 days from the time youre account is charged for their service . I changed my credit card number over a month ago & figured I wouldnt have to bother with calling ancestry about cancelling the subscription but --> they still forced the charge through at my credit card company . I did not know that -- so I am stuck with another years charge on my account . Since I do not like the new format - I am not happy about this at all . Oh well - ripped off again sheri

about --> TOS which most people DONT read in its entirety . I know about the automatic renewal thing & we have to call or send an e-mail to cancel . Try calling the 1-800 # . I called the # to cancel 4 times . Each time I was put on hold for a long time . Got aggravated & hung up . I called the # to order the service & they answered right away :0 . OK - I called back to cancel & waited a half an hour . I called my credit card company & was informed that even if I change my card number OR cancel my credit card out entirely --> this ancestry.com company can STILL force their charge to be paid by the credit card company & we will STILL get billed for the charge even after the account is closed . Now I am wondering what other things are being written into these TOS things that we are agreeing to & most are not reading in its entirety -- scary thing indeed ! Well -- no more credit card numbers are going to any on-line service from me ! Now --> I know some of you are ok with this method of transacting buisness --- this letter is for those of you who dont know this is in TOS and wont be allright with it . sheri

Hi Audry, This is the Frances I am searching. Frances is my grandmother. I am looking for an obit for her as I am unsure of her parents and siblings. She was born in Altamont in 1890 and died at the age of 97 in Waukegan. She is buried in the St. Clare Cemetery with a whole lot more of the family. Thank you for looking for me. Faye

Probably in the Altamont paper. I can search for it next time I am at the library. There is a Frances Roedell b. 1890 no death date, buried at the St. Clare Catholic Cemetery in Altamont.

The cornerstone for St. Francis (then called St. Peter) in Teutopolis was laid in 1853. The Green Creek parish was founded in 1858. The cornerstone was laid in 1860 and it was consecrated in 1864 by Bishop Juncker. Dorothy Brumleve Alice Harman wrote: > > When did the name change from Broughton to Effingham?
