I am looking for the Day family of Johnson Co. My great great grandfather was born in Illinois in August of 1861. I looked in the 1870 census records and there is a James Day (8 years old) listed in the Jonhson Co. (p 6). However he is living with the Alfred (Gonby) Yonby family. In the family next door I notice there is a Sarah Day, 12?, living with the Thomas Family. It would be my assumption that this would be my great great grandfather and my great great aunt and that something happened to their parents and that they were being cared for by neighbors. However I know nothing about the history of Johnson Co. during this time. Can anyone fill me in? thanks, Barbara Silva > > From: "Carolyn Heimann" <[email protected]> > Date: 2004/08/23 Mon AM 12:03:01 GMT > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ILJOHNSO] Libraries - Public or Genealogy > > Hello List, > > I am contemplating a trip to Johnson County to do research. Could anyone tell me if there are any public or genealogy society libraries in the county that would have books to research? Are there any other places to do research besides the courthouse?
