Glenda, It's been quite a while since I accessed Illinet, but as I recall there is a page of instructions that tells you what password to use. I can't seem to find the bookmark for it at this time, but if you go back & read through the directions, the password is in there in the fine print. They're kinda sneaky about it. :) Marcia Kenneth Womack wrote: > > I tried to get online with Illinet to see what records they have for interlibrary loan and it asks for a password.

I tried to get online with Illinet to see what records they have for interlibrary loan and it asks for a password. Can anyone help me with this? Glenda in Memphis Ken-Womack@worldnet.att.net

Judy, There are several Sanders families in the area during that time. Do you have any other clues or information that would help us find your fellow? My family has a Sanders neighbor (1850) that is a possibility, but there are two other possibilities as well. Do you know childrens names? Spouse name? or perhaps his age??? There is another Sanders researcher, but I do not know if you are related (Barb, are you out there???)

Does anone have the 1850 Census. I would like to get the information on a Nacy Simmons. His wife was Rachel and he had one daughter I know of named Likey or Likie. Could someone send that please. Greg Simmons

You need a researcher card to be able to look at the records. This gives you access to the special research room to which they will be brought. You get the card from the office on the same floor as the microfilm readers. Make sure you have a picture ID for the card, and also to get into the Archives building. All electronic items (i.e. cell phones, pagers, laptop computers, cameras, etc.) will need to opened and inpected. They will write down serial numbers and receipt them (you get to keep them). You will have to present the receipt on your way out. After getting your card, sign up for a microfilm reader. There are book indexes to the civil war films on top of the microfilm cabinets. They will direct you to the appropriate filing cabinet in the room off of the microfilm room. Don't forget to pick up record request forms at the info desk in the microfilm room. You have to fill them out with the info you will find on the microfilms, which are merely films of index cards, etc. You will then have the forms checked by the person at the info desk. Put them in the appropriate basket. Please note that it will take several hours for your files to be received in the special research room. There is also a maximum number of records that can be requested daily, and it isn't very large. If you are going to be there for more than one day, be sure to make an afternoon request for records to be available for the next day. You have to put all of your possesions in a locker outside of the special research room. The lockers take quarters only. You may not take into the room anything except a few pages stapled together, or a laptop computer. Pencils and paper are available inside. The security guard at the door will check your papers. You must present your researcher's card at this time. Your records will be at the front desk in this room, and you will only be allowed one at a time. Be sure to bring change for the copier. The records can be very fragile, since they are all folded inside envelopes. The whole think is quite awesome, actually looking at the very records your ancestor added to. And you are right---they do leave out a lot of valuable information in the copies they send you. They also leave out a lot of extraneous info, too. The muster rolls are also there! Happy hunting!

Can anyone lookup a marriage for Cynthia Simmons and Elijah G. Hunt. They were married July 23,1850. Would like to know if the parents are listed for Cynthia and Elijah G. Hunt. Marriage should be in Johnson County marriage books. Greg Simmons

Greetings, fellow Johnson Countians.... As I live in the greater DC area, I have been convinced by a knowledgable source that I need to go to the archives in search of the COMPLETE civil war pension files I already received. It seems that they may not have copied all pages in the file... Imagine!!! Therefore, sometime in the next 2 weeks, I hope to build up my courage and head to the archives. This is something (obviously) that I've never done before, but I've been given very good directions to get straight to the pension files. My offer to you is to grab similar records for you for the cost of copying or your donation to the Johnson Co. Gen. & Historical Society or Rootsweb or some data contribution on your part (you get, you give). As I understand, I'll have to read microfilm first, and that is by last name, to pull the proper file numbers. Then submit forms for the files needed, then make copies, etc. It is sure to be an all-day affair. In order to get these files for you, I'll need (to the extent that you can provide), soldiers name, state of enlistment, unit number (i.e. 60th Ill Inf, Co. K), approximate age at enlistment, names of spouse & children. This should help me identify the right person for you. I've been told that files may range from 10 pages or less to over 200 pages, but when you request a file, they may only copy what they feel is significant. Sorry, but I'd rather make that determination myself, as I'm sure you would, too. Copies made in person are 10 cents each. If you have a dollar limit, be sure to let me know so that I stay within your budget. Depending on how many requests I get, I may go do this again, but please understand if I cannot fill all requests. Please prioritize your names so that if I run out of time, at least I can try to get your top one or two. Go ahead and send me your full wish list, because I may be able to get them all, and if not, I'll already have a list if I can slip in there another time. Good hunting! Marcia mailto:holpuch@erols.com p.s. I am only extending this offer to this list (Johnson Co., IL) at this time. PLEASE respect this, and do not forward this offer to any other lists, as I don't need requests coming from the entire internet universe.

Does anyone have information on the HANKINS family of Johnson Co. If anyone has emailed me since last Sat. be patient. I am getting caught up. My four year old just came home from the hospital today. He had a respiratory infection and needed some oxygen. We are home today with oxygen and he is doing just fine. I just need a little rest. Mara
