Does anyone know where the HEATH family plot is located. Mary "Polly" TUCKER TUCKER is supposed to be buried there with her daughter Caroline TUCKER HEATH HEATH. Information has it that it is in Jersey County, Illinois and that Caroline married one HEATH brother, he died and she later married another HEATH brother. I could sure use some assistance. I am a descendant of Mary "Polly" TUCKER TUCKER. Mary "Polly" TUCKER married her first cousin Samuel TUCKER. Samuel was buried in Ft. Madison, Lee County, Iowa. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, I'm sending this to let you know that Rootsweb is deep in the process of upgrading its servers. This is going to continue during the next couple of weeks. >From Rootsweb: "The following resources are currently disabled or will be soon, due to the upgrading: any websites beginning www.rootsweb.com (including our main page), websites on Freepages, RootsWeb Surname List (RSL), Archiver (browsable mailing list archives), and mailing lists on lists3 and lists5 (which will also impact list administrator functions for those lists), and most versions of File Manager (online editors). During the transition, Password Central may show some incomplete listings, especially for Post-em Notes." What does this mean to you? It means that some list mail might be delayed in being delivered (don't worry, it won't get lost - just delayed). I have limited access to my administrative tools and in some cases cannot help with subscribing and unsubscribing, etc. This is all very sporadic and one never knows what is "up and running" and what is "off line". Please bear with us, and hopefully this will all be settled soon. Thanks for your patience, Karima List Administrator

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 3282 prisoners on record from the state of Illinois and more than 1000 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Of course I know that you're looking for Grafton school photos, but I thought I would mention it. Too bad we can't get all the student albums placed online like the 1949 Jerseyville one is (well partially). Take care.
