Hi Jacqueline, BLM site worked fine for me. Thanks, Added to my Favorites. If you just upgraded to AOL 6., that might have something to do with it. Some of my friends have been having trouble doing the same old things since upgrading. Sometimes I have found, just shut everything down completely and let it sort of self heal for a while.

Bob, thank you for your reply. I'll try the Gladfelter site. Do you know if there is a site for the surname Clodfelter?...Grace

While browsing a bit, I came across a few research tips that may prove helpful. http://www.genealogy.com/tipspage.html I thought this idea was the best (if you have family in Illinois): November 06, 2000 Keep your eyes open. Directories of farmers for many Illinois counties published ca. 1918 by Prairie Farmer magazine contain the name of the farmer, his wife's maiden name, names of children at home, section of residence, acreage and name of landlord (if renting). You never know what a record might contain until you look in it.

Please, Please, Please. I appreciate you taking the time to send me this information. I would like to have the obit and the bibliography reviews.

Grace, I noticed your surname GLATFELTER in your post. You might try the website below for GLATFELTER. http://hometown.aol.com/ancestortree/ancestrygi.htm Also Don Hartman has a Pennsylvania Dutch / web site that has GLATFELDERs. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~padutch/familyhart/ I have no interest in either website but thought they might be of some help for you.

Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/862 Surname: Swart ------------------------- I was wondering if the state of Illinois keeps records of estates for it's residents? I have a copy of the will of Gilbert Swart. But I was wondering if there might be more records on file at a court house. Any advice would be wonderful. PS, he died in the township of Knox, in Knox County in 1890.

McMASTER, W. W. A physician, he was born Feb. 23, 1819 in Highland Co.OH. His parents were David McMaster, formerly from Ireland, and Elizabeth Wirdlaw of Virginia. He was educated in common schools and obtained his medical education in Cincinnati, OH, where he graduated at the Eclectic Medicdal College. He has been a practising physician for 24 years. Dr. McMaster enlisted in an Independent Cavalry Co. in Rushville, IL, in May 1847, and participated in the Mexican War, under command of General Z. Taylor; he also served in the United States army as hospital steward during the Rebellion. Enlisted Aug. 22, 1862 in the 119th Reg. IL Infantry. He married Susannah Hendricks Oct. 19, 1856. They have had 2 daughters and 1 son. He has been a member of the Presbyterian Church since 1860. He is a Republican. (no Hendricks bios) Joan :o)

Hi, James and Rosanna Watters Yard/e are not listed in the 1860 census of Knox County, at least not in the index. However, they are in the 1870 census of Henderson Twp., Knox Co. I also found Yard/es buried in the Henderson and Fuller Cemeteries, both in Henderson Twp. James and Rosanna are in the Henderson Cemetery. The Warren County Biographical Review lists a biography for Aaron Yarde on pg. 475 and one for Charles F.P. Yarde on pg. 451. Aaron Yard/e is buried in Fuller Cemetery in Henderson Twp. There is a short (summarized?) obit for James Yarde in Vol. V OBITUARIES KNOX COUNTY, GALESBURG, ILLINOIS NEWSPAPERS 1907-1908 pg. 487. I don't know if you have all of that info. so I didn't take the time to type it. If you want any of it let me know and I'll be glad to send it to you.

Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/861 Surname: Swart ------------------------- I was wondering if some kind sole, could look for a death certificate for Gilbert Swart. He died 27 Jan 1890, in Knox, Illinois. Are there volunteers that do this available? I would be willing to pay costs involved in obtaining the photo copy as well as for postage. Thanks! Denise

Donna Will you check for a James Yard or Yarde in the 1860 census. He married in 1858 to Rosanna Watters. I believe he is from England. Sharon Haney > Also have 1850 and 1870 census of Knox Co.

Would anyone with access to a 1860 IL Census Index look up the surname CLODFELTER and GLADFELTER and give me a list of those in Knox Co., Henry Co., Stark Co. and Peoria Co. per 1860.

Cheryl, I so appreciate you checking on my Susan Smith Davis Hendrickson. I did have someone look for an obit several years ago, but they couldn't find it. The death date was given to me via my grandmother, her granddaughter. It apparently wasn't correct. Again, thank you for trying......Grace

Carl, More than happy to. There are no death records on file before 1878 in the State of IL. Will get back to you privately with your info. Just thought the list should understand the limits of death records in IL. No sense in trying to find something that will never be there.

I've been looking for the family of Francis Vigo McKee, son of Samuel McKee, MD, and brother to Archibald Buntin McKee of Vincennes. I've been told that Francis V married, had two daughters, and when his wife died he went south and had another family. Recently I've found the names Sally McKee and Molley McKee listed before the names of the children by his Texas wife, and I've read that he left the two daughters with his brother when he went south. I'm interested in confirming that these two were daughters of Francis V McKee and his first wife; learning the name of his first wife and her deates; and confirming that Archibald Buntin McKee cared for these girls at least for some point in their life. Any help appreciated. David R. Hoffman, Harrisburg, PA

Thanks Jerry. I agree with you about the 1870 maps. They include some of my ancestors who were not subscribers to the 1870 Atlas. The tricky part is getting a good scan of pages that are as large as they are. Let me know if you have any ideas. I welcome any postcards or other things you can contribute.
