I haven't been able to find Peru Township in the 1850 census (what a mess, it keeps jumping from one township or town then to another and then back), but there may be a second reel that was in use when I looked. I still haven't found anything to connect my Corrigan-Conelly with your Corrigan-Conelly, but I may go to Livingston and LaSalle Counties in September to check out records there.

I don't know, but you might try asking some of the churches in the area, or check with the Il historical society. I can occasionally get some of the older newspapers that are on line to respond to short questions or at least point me in the right direction. Ottawa had a newspaper I think since 1844.

Were there any orphanages in or near Ottawa in 1850?

Town of Oglesby: Looking for “hard copy” records of any town matters regarding the Mayor for the years 1905 - 1907. What news paper if any would have information about this town for the years 1903-1910. Thanks Ron

I'm just starting out with info from Mom, & she doesn't know much. How can I find info about my great-grandmother, Mary W Altheide. All I know so far is that she was from Streator,IL and married my great-grandfather, David K Agnew. My Grandfather, David R Agnew, was born in 1898 in Erie, Pa, and attended military school in Quincy, Il. He spent summers in Streator with the Altheide family, who owned a clothing store. Sound familiar to anyone? Thanks, Barb

Circus itself, check with the Circus World Museum and Research Center in Baraboo Wisconsin. It is part of the Ringling Bros. Corporation but is a world renowned archive and research facility on ALL circuses. When I was there a few years ago researching the Al G. Barnes Circus from California, there were 3 Russians in there researching some European circuses. As an example, during the depression, my dad spent a month as a roustabout with the Al G Barnes Circus starting in Oakland CA and leaving in Seattle WA. He couldn't remember exactly when it was other than circa 1930. By going to the research center, we found the routes of the circus for each year in that time period. By matching the route to his recollections, we pinned it down to May 1 - June 1 of 1930. I was able to copy many pictures and articles available for that particular year including the circus program book. Coincidentally, the International Clown College was quartered there at the time we visited and the director of the research center introduced my dad in the center ring to the group as a fellow circus person from 60 years prior. I saw a tear in my dad's eye. It was great fun. Great collection of circus wagons from 1800-1900's, circus railroad cars and other circus memorabilia. ====================================================== William B.

I'm not sure when it was first published, but I got an obit from 1932 so I'm sure they have microfilm of 1957.

Hi: If anyone has the marriage license for Ottawa, Il, would you please look up the following: Sarah WYMANN and John George LIEBENGUTH 14 Feb. 1867 I found this on the LDS, but don't know how to varify it. We thought John was only married to Elizabeth NUSS FINZELBERG 19 Nov. 1887 New at this and don't have much info to go by. Thanks for any help. Dorothy Liebenguth Parrott

What about naturalization? I have my grandfather's naturalization papers but they told me NOTHING...only his name, country of origin and the date! Can I get his application for citizenship? If so, where? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The La Salle Genealogy Guild in Ottawa has indexed the marriage licenses. You might contact them at: Box 534, Ottawa, Illinois 61350 They also have a website on Genweb. Sharon

HEY....I had no clue that some of you listies might actually have these records! I'm pretty new at this stuff too! Anyone have marriage info from Leland, LaSalle County about 1850? I'm looking for Canute (or Knud) and Andrea (Anderson) Thompson.

Hi Ron, According to the holdings list of the Illinois State Historical Society, the succession of titles and publication dates goes like this: "LaSalle Tribune & Peru News" April 1906-August 1926 "LaSalle Post Tribune" September 1926-May 1947 "LaSalle News Tribune" June 1947- Their holdings of the "News Tribune" go only to 1982, though. Hope you find your article.
