Carolyn; Johnson County has one of the best Libraries and the Librarian really knows her stuff! They are open Monday - Wednesday and Friday! Closed on Thursday's! The Courthouse is open daily 8 am to 12 noon and 1pm to 3:45 for research! I was just there last week for a week! Foreman still has the name on the sign on highway 45 toward Belknap but not much left of the town though! My brother lived there for about 5 years, just a few houses there now! I think the drive will do you good though! You even get to see some of the Tornado mess down in Massac County if you go to Metropolis and pass Mermet Lake! Hope this helps you! John M. Hines, Sr. PS: Who are you looking for in these areas? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Heimann" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 7:42 PM Subject: [ILJOHNSO] Researching in Johnson Co., IL > Hello listers, > > I plan to do some research in Johnson Co. this summer.

Hello John, Thank you for the info. I am researching Green, Birch/Burch and File in Union Co. In the surrounding counties of Johnson and Pope I am researching Leverett, Turner, Heatherly and related lines. What lines are you researching?
