Have you heard of Randon Acts Of Genealogical Kindness? You can visit their site at; www.raogk.org. I see there is a slew of volunteers for Lake County. Maybe you can find someone to hunt the newspapers for an obit for Margaret and possibly more info on Paul. Next, I would try the Lake County Genealogical Society. Their website is; www.rootsweb.com/~illcgs/ . I know they have lots of obits and family info on familys from Lake County. I'd be curious to hear how your search goes. Would you please keep me updated in case I get down that way. Maybe I can personally help you out. John in Racine
