Can not answer that question but if you are living close to a Mormon Family History Library you could rent a film and possible find out that information. The film number I would order would be 1710810 which is for LaSalle Co Marriage Registers for your period of time and it might include the names you are interested in. I did check with the 1860 Census on Ancestory.com and found them living next door to another Olson that could be Ellen's brother.

Gwen, I'm not sure of the exact number of censuses, though I expect there was one every ten years after a certain point, so I would look for the 1850 or 1840 census. The 1850 census for LaSalle County is also available in text form at http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/il/lasalle/1850/. I would encourage you to hunt around in the files there. You can find all the Johnsons by going into the indx-i-k.txt file. Then you should find a cross-reference to the family listing. For example: Pg# Ln# Last Name First Name Age Birth Place Filename 324A 22 Johnson Henry 29 Norway pg0321b.txt Then you back out of the index file and go to the page number, and you click on the file with the page number. Use the Find function of your browser to find Johnson, and you'll see there's a Johnson family in Mission Township (actually a bunch of Johnsons). I believe the above Henry Johnson is the only one in the index, and of course the age doesn't match, but you might try the same exercise with Ellen Olson. Good luck!

Gwen, In 1860, 25-year-old Henry Johnson and his 21-year-old wife Ellen were living with the Mayer (?) family in Mission Township. Henry was working as a farm laborer, and both he and Ellen were born in Norway. This information comes from HeritageQuest. The next step would be to find an earlier census that would show a Johnson family with Henry as a member. Good luck!

Fellow interested in family history wanted to know which road did the Civil War soldiers take to come home to La Salle Co. from Springfield. The Moon place, just west of Streator, accomodated many travelers, including Lincoln. So in the 1850-1860s did they cross the Vermillion at Streator and then on to Ottawa. Can't see them going further on the west side of the Vermillion, even now it looks like it would be rough going. Cross at "Streator" and it is fairly flat, muddy, but flat. And, since it was open grass, probably a little safer? Also heard of a man named Swift, who told someone that he remembered the Union soldiers going by in "droves" after the war. There was a Swift farm just south of Moon's. Moon was a very well known man at that time, and drawing of his farm in 1870 plat book seems to show that he was well off. Maybe the soldiers knew they would receive a warm welcome? Would the returning soldiers gone to Ottawa, since "all" roads back then should have gone to the county seat.

I am looking for additional information on the following family line: Nels NELSON b: 14 Apr 1834 in Orleans Co, New York, USA d: 20 Jun 1894 in Lisbon, Kendall Co, Illinois, USA Buried: Jun 1894 in Norway Cemetery, Norway, Lasalle Co, IL Married: Abt. 1856 Spouse: Serina DANIELSON b: 8 Jan 1839 Norway d: 21 Aug 1901 in Lasalle Co, Illinois, USA Burial: Norway Cemetery, Norway, Lasalle Co, IL Seeking sibblings and children of said family. If anyone can help me out it would greatly be appreciated. Gwen

Of all places, the Kansas State Historical Society has a large number of Illinois county histories on microfilm which can be obtained through interlibrary loans. Apparently, a grant gave them the money to put the collection together. I do not have the URL, but a simple full-text search of "Kansas State Historical Society Illinois counties" will bring it up. I have obtained a number of such histories from them.

Michael, Congratulations to you and a tip of the hat to Margaret and Indiana. Inspired by Mr. Mackey, I did a Google on the title and discovered that Nancy Piper has transcribed part of the book and has it online: http://www.piperspages.com/LaSalle/1886History/1886Index.html. She has lots of other info on LaSalle County on her main page too. It'd be great if all these histories were online. Best wishes, Tim -----Original Message----- From: M.E. Mathews / CFHG [mailto:cfhg@cfhg.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 7:51 PM To: ILLASALL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [ILLASALLE] History of La Salle County Lookup Tim; Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. I actually have tried to get the book through my library options but to no avail. My only other option has been the FHL in SLC, but I can not justify a 300 mile trip at this time, so I will patiently wait until opportunity presents itself. Of course the research material I am working from does not offer anything but the reference, no substance. Such is the rough luck at times.
