We would really appreciated it if you shared with us what you had, there a literally thousands of us here looking for our roots, looking for connections.

I have a copy of the marriage liscense of Geeorge A. Seeley , s/o Oliver Seeley, and Mary E. Graham, s/o Sam and E. (can't make out first name) Graham. It states that Nero M. Logsden gave his consent (she was raised by the Logsdens). Does anyone know who these folks are? At one time, I thought this was "my" Mary Graham, but I finally found her - she married John M. Gott. I'd be happy to send you the liscense in exchange for info on how she fits in the Grahams in so. Ill. My Mary Evaline Graham was the da. of Wm. Carroll Graham b. Tn. d Gallatin Co., 1864 and Mary Anna Nolen b. Tn. Thanks for any info. Donna

Louise, Sorry I cannot help you with your lines, but since we have had a slow list for a while now I thought I would let you know you are on the list. Just put out there who, what, where, and when and I am sure you will get some answers.

Hi, I thought I signed up for the Gallatin County Roots Web list, but can't tell if it went through. I am researching Greer and Oxford family lines in Gallatin County. They were there in the early to middle 1800s Louise

Surnames: JENNINGS DUDLEY Submitter: Jean Parks (filnjean@shawneelink.net) Date: 02 Jan 2002 Does anyone know where Isaac Jennings first wife was buried ? She died in the early 1830's I think. He married Loucinda Dudley. J Parks

Unfortunately, according to the County Clerk's office, the application process did not start until the 1870's, so my gr-gr-grandparents documentation did not indicate who their parents were. -----Original Message----- From: AmericaSearch@aol.com [mailto:AmericaSearch@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 1:30 PM To: ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Marriage license cost The dates are from 1763 - 1900.

Hello, I just came across this tidbit from the Jan. 1, 1881 issue of The (Shawneetown, Ill.) Local Record. It provides information on an apparent migration of Gallatin County residents to Washington Territory. Here it goes: Congratulatory. Ft. McKinney, W. T., Dec. 20, 1880. Editor Local Record, Shawneetown, Illinois --- Dear Sir: The many friends of Samuel M. Smyth, noticing from an edition of your valuable paper that he had taken unto himself a "better half," take this opportunity of offering their congratulations. Richard Ritcher, H. R. Mann, O. J. Smyth, Peter McGiunis, T. J. Foster and wife, A. Soncsberger and wife, J. A. Stanley and wife, T. Creighton and wife..." There are at least two more names listed in the paper. However, I was copying another article and didn't include enough of the page to read it all. Sincerely, Jon Musgrave www.IllinoisHistory.com

I am trying to verify the parents of Franklin Gidcomb, born Dec. 1882 in Gallatin County. I believe his father was Calvin Gidcumb. He left IL at age 13 for AR so would not be on any census as the 1890 are gone. WFT lists birth place as Immins, IL. Has anyone heard of it? Death Certificate lists Gallatin Co. as birth place. Mother would be Mrs. Lotta Downen (Downing) as listed in IL Marriage Index. She married Calvin Jan 1882 Gallatin Co. I would like to know also her maiden name and who she marriage first. >From the Gallatin County newspaper abstract Vol. IV I found a Laura Ulla Gidcumb, born 1877 and died Sep 1878. I believe her to be Calvin's daughter by first marriage. As she was born and died in between census I can not check there. How far back does Gallatin Co. have birth and death records? Thanks, Norm Gidcumb Thompsonville, MI

Do they go back as far as 1830? -----Original Message----- From: AmericaSearch@aol.com [mailto:AmericaSearch@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 8:53 AM To: ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Marriage license cost Here is a copy of one of the messages: To:    AmericaSearch@aol.com They cost $5.00..you get a copy of the license and also the App....this is where you find their parents names etc. here is the addy: Gallatin County Clerk P.O.Box 550 Shawneetown, Ill. 62984 phone#...1/618-269-3025 SEND A SASE(self addressed stamped envelope) with your check . ----- Original Message ----- From: <AmericaSearch@aol.com> To: <ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 7:46 PM Subject: Marriage license > Can anyone tell me the price for getting a copy of a marriage license in > Gallatin County? > Thanks. > Jihan ============================== Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 Source for Family History Online.

Is everyone still having problems with the IL Marriage database? I still can't get into it, no matter what I try. Thanks, Linda

Would SKS point me in the right direction. I am hoping to find an Obit for an individual who died in Equality, IL in 1929. Am looking for the name of the newspaper and whether the local library may have microfilm copies of the newspapers. WMP in CA
