Dear Lisa, I feel sorry for the person that felt they had to unscribe. I so much enjoy the information from everyone's posts on the list. I am not from the area so the history that is given is most interesting to me. Being new, and doing research any information that can be of help is a good post. I thank you for posting the information on the different spellings of names. I think Alice is doing a marvelous job on this list. To those that researching names that I am not, just want to let you all know, I enjoy reading about the different families that lived in the area. I hope all of us can thank each other for any information that is posted here! This is busy time of the year for all of us, but that's why we joined this list, to get information! Thanks again to all that post. Hope your Holiday Season is Great. My names are Mott, Brenenstahl, that lived in Fulton Co. IL. in the 1850's. Susie.
