Hi. My ancestors were in Fulton County from about 1830's on. I'd like to swap info with anyone interested in these surnames. Thanks! L.W. Davidson

Could I beg and plead for someone to scan the photo of Daniel Heller for me? It is found on page 820 of the "Portrait and Biographical Album of Fulton Co." Thank you so much! Carla Finley Florida http://community.webshots.com/user/carlafinley

I've been in IL for a month taking care of my mother, Mary Ackerson Heller Lain. I've been picking her brain for genealogy. What amazes me is how she can remember names of boyfriends when she was an early teen and also acquaintences. Here are a few of the names that she rattled off: Walter Harrison Beard Ray Krider Charles Kling Lewis Columbo and she had a crush on her teacher; R. K. Khan. Any of these familiar?

Thanks to all for responding to my question about the "out of the office" post. Of course, it makes sense but I had not seen that before on a list and just didn't think about it. As an Apple "Tiger" user, I'm not familiar with Windows. Based on the number of responses I got, the list is alive and well which is also good to know. If someone who knows anything about Harper Hill Cemetery in the Liverpool area will contact our newest lister. . . . Marilyn. . . . at hillarlyn@worldnet.att.net, you would "make her day". She is looking for Sarah Royal Clark and husband Isaac Clark and family. Does anyone know if Harper Hill is included in one of the Fulton County Cemetery Books? If so, where could Marilyn purchase one? Thanks again! Karen

Karen, Some people have their work email as the place where the list send their post. When they are going to be gone (Vacation, etc.), there is an automated rely stating when they will be back.

Thanks Mary & Carol, Thanks for the quick reply. I was trying to find out for a new lister, Marilyn. I had told her how to post a query to the list. She subscribed but and all she got back was the message that I got about a Caroline Rocco being "out of the office" until the 15th. I knew that wasn't right but it was most confusing to her. . . . and me. Anyone who receives this and knows how to assist Marilyn with a lookup of Cemetery records in Harper Hill Cemetery (Liverpool area) for Isaac Clark and his wife Sarah Royal Clark or might be interested in the Clark family in that area, please contact new subscriber Marilyn at hillarlyn@worldnet.att.net Thanks. Karen

I'm confused. I got a list post from a Caroline Rocco that she is "out of the office" until 8-15. ?? Is anyone getting Fulton County IL messages? Karen

I will be out of the office starting 08/10/2005 and will not return until 08/15/2005. I will respond to your message when I return.

Looking for John (age 28) and Elizabeth (age 26) Melvin (both born in Ohio) shown in the 1870 Fulton County Illinois census with children Martha J (2) born in Illinois, and Louise E 7 ½, born in Illinois. Linda (in Arizona)

Hi again, from perhaps your newest member, Is there a way of obtaining death records via email? I realize there is a question of paying for such records, but can we do a VISA card purchase? I'm asking after hours so I can't get this answer via a phone call to the County offices. And since I'm asking, does anyone know the correct number for such a phone call to the County offices asking about death records? Thanks, Marilyn Mayer Wiedemann

Hello, May I introduce myself as a new subscriber. Your option for a Fulton County email group doing genealogy is new in my experience, although I am also new to genealogical searching so this may be more common that I would have thought. This sounds like a wonderful tool to help people doing genealogical searching--and for making enjoyable contacts. Thank you for having it. I'm in the process of trying to connect with the records of Sarah Royal Stout Clark, her father Thomas Royal (A Revolutionary War veteran buried in Sangamon County where he died in August of 1834), and Sarah and Anthony Stout's daughter Hannah. When Sarah's first husband, Anthony Stout died back in Ohio in about 1817, she remarried Isaac Clark in Miami County, Ohio and they moved to Fulton County where more children were born. (She had had four with Anthony. And Isaac had nine of his own. Together they had six more. Whew!!) It would be nifty to find them all, but our particular interest just now is in Hannah Stout because she married my great great grandfather (David Ward Clark) and we are trying to make the connection back to the Revolutionary War. It seems we have to have something like cemetery records or something more official than just family recollections to prove that Hannah was indeed Sarah's daughter and that Sarah was the same Sarah Royal married to Anthony Stout and then Isaac Clark. I understand that cemetery records are acceptable to the DAR, the organization for which we are doing this. And while we are doing this for the DAR, it is frankly just interesting to learn what we can of the family. Wouldn't it be fun to meet people who actually look a bit like you? Or have mannerisms that are familial? So--I need a death record for Sarah and a marriage record for Sarah and Isaac Clark. ----Marilyn Mayer Wiedemann

Hi Everyone, Just a few updates to mention... Special thanks to: * Donald Parkinson for the many train photos (in the "Photographs" section under Transportation) and the beautiful 1908 postcard of Teacher's Institute Day (in the "Schools" Section). * Marilee Griffin for submitting an obituary of Edmund Derry. Two biographies (transcribed by moi) have been added: William Edgar Hull and Matthew Tatum. Also, I'd like to mention the 150th anniversary of the Fulton Democrat newspaper in Lewistown. A few articles of Volume 1 of the special edition commemorating this event can be read at... http://www.iltrails.org/fulton/Newspapers/fulton_democrat.html. There is also information on how to buy this wonderful publication! warm regards, Janine www.iltrails.org/fulton

I am researching the following Fulton County families and would like to share information (and theories) with anyone else working on these lines: JONES, MAY, SELLS, WRIGHT, and ESKEW / ESCUE, and ELLIS. I am also interested in exchanging e-mails with anyone whose Fulton County families have roots in any of the following places: Pennsylvania (especially Greene County and nearby Ohio counties), Tennessee (especially Wilson County and Eastern Tennessee), and Washington County, Indiana. Likewise, if your Fulton County family moved to Bates County, Missouri, I would like to hear from you. Sandy Broda sbroda@alumni.indiana.edu
