Hi Everyone, I have been away from geneology and this website for a while, but, I'm suddenly confronted with an opportunity to visit JoDaviess County the first part of October with not much time to get ready, research-wise. Any advice on where to search for records of relatives would be appreciated .... also ... "must see" sites. I'm a novice at geneology ... appreciate any and all advice and information. I am researching ANGWIN, BOWDEN (BOWDON) GOLDTHORP. I will be leaving St. Petersburg, FL next Tuesday on an extended road trip that will eventully take me through Galena. My relatives lived, farmed near the extinct town of Weston in the Elizabeth Township. Thanks to all for any communication, Richard Angwin PS Will check my Es on Monday morning, leaving on Tuesday
