Hi, all, This is Jeannie Smith, County Coord. for Greene Co. website & mailing list. The new website is up and running! It's at the old address: http://rootsweb/~ilgreene/green.htm I've kept almost all the old links (some didn't work) and added a few new ones on the Resources page, plus added a few more goodies. All the old query, lookup, and surname pages are still working, either linked from the home page or from the Query page, and if you have a page bookmarked, then you should still be able to get there. Let me know if you can't for some reason. Next I'll be taking a look at the old surname and lookup pages and updating the links. Someone asked me about updating their surname email already. If you go to either of these pages and your email link or web page is wrong, let me know. And PLEASE PLEASE feel free to comment on the new web pages - good or bad. I've intended to make them user-friendly because they belong to all the Greene County researchers. So I need to know how they work in the real world. So have fun exploring the new pages! Jeannie Smith ILGreene County Coordinator for ILGenWeb/USGenWeb/RootsWeb.

I am hoping to be able to contact Edna McMahan-Secrest to obtain information about obtaining a book containing the transcription of Fernwood Cemetery. My snail mail attempt was returned. I would like to arrange to purchase this publication, which I understand is titled "Roodhouse Township". Thanks in advance. Sandra in Oregon

If you are willing to share your newspaper articles and a scanned copy of a marriage photograph I would like to compile them and place them in a book format to be placed in all three historical societies, Greene, Jersey and Calhoun. Please send them to me at this email address or to Marty Crull RR 1 Box 9, Carrollton, IL 62016 The older the better but as long as they were married in one of the three counties. Thanks Marty

You can order microfilms of Greene Co. Probate indexes and records through your local LDS Family History Center. You can check out their catalog on-line at familysearch.org, and decide what you are interested in. Good luck!

My mother was born 1915 and grew up in White Hall IL. She looked at the 1920 census today and was able to tell me storys about a lot of the family's there, old and young. If anyone would like story's, or information on people in White Hall let me know and I'll pass it along to my mother and see what she remembers. e-mail me at kjrussell@onewest.net, not at the above, I don't check this address often.
