I'm taking a few minutes this morning, reviewing the postings that are on the Rootsweb Effingham County message board. For example, I just answered a query that asked if any cemetery books were for sale. You may want to go to www.rootsweb.com <http://www.rootsweb.com/> and on the home page, choose "message boards". Then search for a message board for Effingham. You will find 3, one for Effingham County Illinois (ours), one for Effingham, Georgia and one that is just "Effingham". I don't know anything about that one. Choose Effingham County Illinois and review the postings. There are some very interesting ones there, although some are older postings. They still are interesting and may lead you to some new information. Linda Effingham County Mailing List Administrator Effingham County Message Board Administrator
