    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Sg.2ADI/1584.1.1.1 Message Board Post: My home email address is jandrew@dls.net. If you would e-mail it to me, that would be great! I am collecting any and all information I can find about families that lived in the Village of Old Mill Creek. Old Mill Creek was not incorporated until 1958, so the area was often referred to as Millburn, Wadsworth, or Rosecrans, depending on the post office. We have a lot of family information about families that lived closer to Millburn (Rt 45 and Millburn Road), but very little information about many of the families in Newport Township that lived near what is now Hunt Club and Wadsworth Roads. We are interested in family trees, dates of birth, marriages, and death. Places of birth, etc. Photos are wonderful! Anything you can provide would be wonderful. I have maps that show that a lot of the families you mentioned owned property in the village. We are piecing together a very large puzzle:) If you visit the website www.hmca-il.org and go to "biographical sketches," you will see the type of information we have been collecting. Do you live in the northeastern Illinois area? I am a teacher in Libertyville and the Deputh Clerk for the Village of Old Mill Creek. I also have a store in Millburn. I am on the Board of the Historic Millburn Community Association. That is why I am searching for information that we do not have. We have a lot of information about the Scottish settlers in the area (Presbyterian and Congregationalists), but very little about the Irish Catholics! Being an Irish Catholic, I am doubly interested in researching the Irish Catholic settlers of the village. If you live in the area, it would be nice to get together sometime! Thanks for everything!
