I am interested in an Erastus W Allen who married my ancestress Eliza "Jane" (nee Baker) Thompson on 18 Mar 1862. She was born in June 1821 in New York. She is buried in Minneapolis, Minnesota and so I believe that this married couple must have moved there sometime after they married (most of her children from her first marriage ended up there too). I don't know if these two had any children (she was 41 when they married). I wonder if Erastus might be related to Lydia. Wendy Bergerud PS There is also a REEVES in the family: Eliza's daughter Mary married a Harry Reeves about whom I know next to nothing!

Do you have a birthdate for Erastus W Allen? I am assuming that they lived in Kane co - is this where they were married? Lydia Allen's husband, Almiron Yates, was also born in New York - Onieda co, NY I believe.

Thanks again Deb - you have been a tremendous help to me and I appreciate it. Also a big thanks to Debs for her lookups.

Am looking for any information on the COSTELLO family (also spelled COSTELLOE) of Maple Park, Kane County, IL. John (b. 1815, d. 1888) and wife Ann (nee Cullinan or Quinlan - b. 1830, d. 1913) moved there in the 1850's from Ireland via New York state (probably Rochester or vicinity), where their first child was born. The family were members of St. Mary parish in Maple Park, and John and Ann are buried in the church's cemetery. Children, most of whom sooner or later became Chicago residents, included James, John Jr., Frances (Fannie), Thomas, Ann, Anastasia, Augustine (Gus) and Catharine (Kate).

I saw the post on the Welch family and am wondering if we could be talking about the same Welch line. My Welch's were Samuel Hanson Welch m. Eliza Adeline Shetter(aka Adaline E. Shetter) abt 1880 possibly in Sangamon Co. IL. They later moved several times, but ended up in Missouri where Samuel died in 1943 and Adeline moved to California to be with her family. Any connection? Linda

I just wanted to thank DEBS again for the cemetery lookups. She looked up Winterfield for me and I called the cemetery. They were able to give me the dates of death of 3 of my ancestors, as well as provide the ever ellusive name of my gg grandfather. Thanks so very, very much!!!!! Bobbie

Thanks once again Deb for the look up of WELCH....I sure hope my mail box (snail mail<G>) is full of good stuff in the next few weeks! Robbie Mn

Hi Fred, According to a message from DEBS on 10/14/2000, the abbreviations are used in the Kane Co. Cemetery Book. "A3" is the designation for Riverside Cemetery, and "A10" for Mt Olivet ... both cemeteries are in Aurora Twp., Kane Co., IL. Others may be interested to know that "LS" is the abbreviation for the latin phrase "Locus Sigilli", which means "place of the seal", used after signatures on legal documents.

Hi all, I am interested in several Kane County Genealogical Society publications and was wondering if someone has access to do a lookup in them? East Batavia Cemetery, Kane County, Illinois Kane County Marriage Record Index 1867-1877 Kane County Marriage Record Index 1878-1893 Kane County Marriage Record Index 1894-1906 Kane County Marriage Record Index 1878-1893 Kane County Naturalizations 1857-1955 Also, does anyone know if the above marriage records are any different than those online by the State of Illinois and if the Illinois 1860-1900 copies of the original licenses contains the names of the bride and groom's parents? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Best Regards, Fred Krauss

This might sound dumb, but what does the ''A3''--''A10''---''LS'' mean? I would think it is a page reference, but don't know. If it is page reference, if I purchase the book will it give names and dates of birth and death? Best Regards, Fred

WELCH...''A2''...''A8''...''A9''...A10...''BC''...''BL1''..''BR3''....''DU1''...''DU2''...''GE2''...''HA1''...''LM''...''LS''...''RU2''...''SC4''..''SG1"...''SG2''...''STM'' I looked in my Iroquis County books ( I'm bored) and in the 1870 Census book, there is a Cicero Welch, Henry Welch, and T.T. Welch. In the Iroquis Marriage book, there is Ann Welch, married to Patrick Long. Herman Welch to Rachel Payne. Lydia Welch, to Eli Ruff. I have just started looking at cemeteries for info, so am not really sure of the proper way to request info. From what I've read, (and what I have been doing) is include the SASE, and a check for a few dollars. In a book I have it says that you have to remember these are cemeteries, and not research libraries, so include as much info as you can, etc. I just sent for info last week, and haven't gotten any replies yet, but I just based how much I sent by how much exact info I had to give them. For instance I know my Grandfathers B-day, and Day of Death. I just want to find him so I can find the info on my Grandmother. Anyways, since I had that info, I sent 2 dollars. On my Great Grandparents, I have no info except the names, and unfortunately the names are rather common so probably will require more time and copies made. For that I sent 5-6 dollars, and in both cases put in the letter to bill me if there were any other fees. Like I said, I don' know if it's right or not...just what I've been doing. debs

KNEBUSCH...nothng listed KNABUSCH...''BC''...''DU2'' KOCH...''A12''...''BC''...''DU2''...'HA1''...''LM''...''LS''...''SC2''..''SC5'' None of your surnames are conected to my tree, but remembers seeing the name in one of books from Iroquois County, IL. Do you know if your line was evrer n that area? In the birth records book, there is an Amy Elizabeth Koch, b-08/12/1911, to George C. and Mary E. Runck.

As has been mentioned previously, we owe a great deal to the people who compile and publish helpful materials like the cemetery book DEBS has been sharing. In order to continue to produce publications, local societies need to actually sell their books. Often it is hard to decide when a book is worth your money, and that's where a lookup becomes valuable. As you research a family in an area, new names come to light which are certain to send you scrambling back through previous materials to find more information. If you have found these lookups to be useful to you, please consider adding the book to your personal research library. Information on publications for sale is located on most of the society web pages. The societies with web sites are linked from our county page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilkane Also consider joining the local society when you have a concentration of research. This will put you in touch with the "unwired" world where you may find that missing connection. Monthly or quarterly publications by local societies can be a gold-mine of information. I believe this cemetery book is a publication of the Kane County Genealogical Society. Thanks for your time, Marcia ILKANE Admin

Hi Deb When you have time could you look up the name WELCH Also I have been busy collecting cemetery addresses and am wondering if there is a charge for getting information from cemeteries. I have included a SASE. Robbie

Debs, You are doing a super job. Thanks for the quick turnaround on my GREWE/MILBRANDT request. When you have time, would you please check KNEBUSCH/KNABUSCH and KOCH? Thanks again, Lee San Diego

I was just writing a few letters to cemeteries looking for lot cards, etc. and started thinking about all the look ups over the last few days. The poor Cemetery workers are going to wonder whats going on...lol....the mail boxes will be filled. debs
