I like that they will be available on loan. I use the library loan system alot and know that others do as well. If everyone is not aware of the genealogy library at Brehm in Mt. Vernon, I might add that they loan most of their books. You can keep the books for a month when you get them by library loan. -Misty- ----- Original Message ----- From: <Djshawn636@aol.com> To: <ILHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [ILHAMILT-L] NGS Library's Books To St. Louis > Misty, > > - NGS Library's Books To Be Relocated > Thanks for the "good news."

Misty, - NGS Library's Books To Be Relocated Thanks for the "good news." I have been a member of the National Genealogical Society for over twenty years and have considered dropping that membership many times. This relocation of books should give all genealogist a better opportunity for access to the books, however, if I lived within driving distance of NGS I probably would not want them to be relocated. St. Louis is more centrally located for all. Darrlene

Misty, thanks so much for sharing this news -- fantastic!!! Barbara (Lynn) Schulik

The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2001 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. - NGS Library's Books To Be Relocated Good news for genealogists outside of the Washington, D.C. area: The U.S. National Genealogical Society is moving its library books to the St. Louis County (Missouri) Library. This is a rather drastic move but one that will dramatically increase the availability of the books. In the past, the National Genealogical Society's books were available by in-person visit or by mail to NGS members. The St. Louis County Library will do the same but also will make the books available by Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Interlibrary Loan charges are generally lower than the NGS' circulating library charges. Also, one doesn't need to be an NGS member in order to obtain books via Interlibrary Loan. The end result will be that many more genealogists will have access to these books than ever before. The change was the result of a near unanimous vote by the NGS Council (one member dissenting) that was announced at the Federation of Genealogical Society meeting in Iowa. A few items will not be transferred to the St. Louis County Library, including: * Bible Collection * American Medical Association's Deceased Doctors Card File * Member Ancestor Charts (now being indexed by volunteers) * Germans to America collection * Hall of Fame material * Rare books (old or brittle, limited editions, books with high used-book market value that did not circulate) * Manuscript and Reference Collections On November 5, 2001, most of the 17,000+ volumes of the library that formerly circulated to walk-in patrons and Library Loan users will be shipped to the St. Louis County Library and housed there permanently, to be available to the general public. The NGS book collection was donated, not sold, to St. Louis Public Library under provisions of a mutual agreement. The agreement with the St. Louis County Library provides that they will make the books acquired from NGS available to the general public through Interlibrary Loan. This means that the cost of ordering and delivering the books to patrons may be lower than NGS' past library loan charges to members, but patrons' use of the books will be subject to the receiving libraries' policies regarding patron use of Interlibrary Loan materials. The agreement also provides that NGS has 10 years in which to repatriate its collection from St. Louis County Library if NGS pays for handling and shipment. There have been some negative remarks about the move on the various message boards in the past few days, which is surprising to me. Certainly the moving of the books is a drawback to those living within easy driving distance to Arlington, Virginia. Those people will no longer be able to drive to the NGS Library to use the books. On the other hand, those in the St. Louis area will now be within driving distance of these resources. What's more, with the new lending terms, genealogists in all other parts of the country will experience significantly improved ease of access to these books. Unlike the NGS, the St. Louis County Library has its card catalog online. You can search for available books at: http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us. You can search by title, author, subject, keyword or call number. The NGS probably would not have created that capability for several more years. Unlike the NGS, the St. Louis County Library allows everyone to order Interlibrary Loan of books online. Simply go to http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us/ill/ill_book.htm to fill out your request. (Remember that the NGS books have not been moved yet. Don't try to order those volumes until early next year.) The St. Louis County Library also provides online information about books you have ordered and which ones you presently have checked out. The St. Louis County Library also has more services for those who are physically handicapped or housebound than the NGS did. For local users, the St. Louis County Library will be able to notify you via regular mail or by e-mail when materials are available for pick up. -Misty-

I am trying to determine who the William Dial of Co D 6 Ill Vol Cav is. James Dial had a son William H. Dial born 1844. James also had a brother William born abt 1832 and a nephew William born 1831. Either the brother or nephew could fit the age given on the muster roll. Can anyone provide information from 1860 census or other info which would clarify which William Dial it was. Thanx for the help. John O'Neal

I have finally located my Eddie ROSS in Hamilton county ILL. Information is as follows. Hope I can connect with someone on his brothers or sisters. 1880 Hamilton county ILL census: Jacob Ross -head of household, age 43 birthplace IN Elizabeth -wife, age 39 born IN Hiram Ross,. son, age 19, birthplace IN George Henry Ross, son, age 18, birthplace IN William L. Ross, son, age 14, birthplace, IN Jacob S. Ross, son, age 11, birthplace IN Sarah Bell Ross, daughter, age 9, birthplace IN Nancy Ann E. Ross, daughter, age 7, birthplace, IN Eddie M. Ross, son, age 2, birthplace IL THERE IS ALSO A MARG. WILLSON living with them that is a servant, she is 40 yrs old, and born in IL. Would like to connect to share information on this family.BTW, This is the family of Rita Ross that is 97 yrs old and still alive in a nursing home, and had no idea of what happened to her father who is Eddie Ross. Aunt Rita has always been told that her father Eddie Ross died abt 1908, when she was a little girl. I have found that Eddie Ross, (her father) didnt die then, but died 1951! I have chosen NOT to tell her any different! She will love it though when I can give her info on his brothers and sisters that she never got to know.

Okay, I really need help this time. I thought I had Martin COONS, Sr. all figured out. He was married to Mary (Polly) Locke on April 4, 1796 in Jefferson County, KY. Son of Jacob COONS and Letitia KEMPER. That's what I thought for a long time. Along comes another 'researcher cousin' who says my Martin was not the son of Jacob, but the son of Adam COONS. Too many Martins running around. Can anyone help me search for more information on Martin in Hamilton County. I know he was there with part of his family in the 1840s. Allegedly he was lost on the Mississippi in 1846. His widow is buried in Cartwright Cemetery close to a son, Warden. His son, John, died in Hamilton County. Does anyone know what churches were in existence in the 1840s in Hamilton County? Is there another place I can look to verify his parents (whomever they were). Thanks Everyone! Sharlene Coontz Meyer

Anyone researching the Gaines or Shroyer families? Gibson Gaines came from Botetourt/Roanoke Co., Va. in 1848. Wife, Ann Thrasher had died in Va. 1845, came with seven kids. Settled in Hamilton Co, (Broughton area). John Shroyer, my gr. grandfather, lived in Broughton, his father Daniel Shroyer did for a short time. John born 1853, Lawrence Co, Ill. died Hamilton Co. (Broughton) 1938. Would like to correspond with anyone researching or having an interest in the above lines. Larry Melton melton16@home.com

Does the Church at Antioch Cemetery have a mailing address or if not who you might send off to find information about the members there?

Would some one please look for LUTHER L. HUTCHCRAFT b. 1887, IL EVA "EFFIE" b. 1889 IL DENZIL son, b, 1909 IL JAMES ROBERT son, b. 1913 IL ARTHUR C. son b. 1916 IL NOAH son b.? IL Would appreciate any information. Thank you for your time. Evalyn

Would someone please look for (probably in Knights Prairie Twp.) JAMES S. BOSTER b. 1857 in IL. SARAH E. b. 1855 IL. Would appreciate census information . Thanks for your time,. Evalyn

Hi List, In looking at the 1840 Hamilton Co. census , I see that there are two listings for a Lewis Thompson, pg. 143 and 151. Can anyone claim both of these people as being their family ? I strongly suspect that one of these Lewis Thompson's should be Lewis Thomas. Lewis Thomas was my 4th gr.grandfather . The first time I find him in Hamilton Co. is in 1850, where he lives through the 1880 census, at age 100. But I believe he was in Hamilton by 1840. If anyone can claim both Lewis Thompson's please let me know. Thank You, Carolyn Campbell White

My great-grandparents were born and lived in Hamilton Co. I am searching for information on them and their history. His name was Anderson Buehl Hardesty and her name was Rosa Ford. I especially don't have any information on Rosa. I need her parents, siblings, or just about anything. My grand mother was Effie Hardesty and she married Elmer Allen. I know that Allen's and Hardesty's were in Hamilton for a long time. Thanks for your help. Bobee Jean(Allen) Boyett
