Good Afternoon, How about Lostant? There was a Nicholas Gehm(50) and his family living in Hope Township - Lostant in the 1880 Census. Also, in the 1880 Census William Gehm(42?) father in law, living with John and Katherine Keegan family in Peru "Ms. Dale Amann" wrote: > > I just received a marriage certificate for John GEHM and Lucy TRAUGHBER, who were married in Macon, IL. I always thought John was born in LaSalle Co., and lived in Christian Co., but the marriage license says he was born in "Soxtant, Ill" . I checked the GNIS locator but there was no listing. Does anyone know where this town might be, and in what county? > Thanks > Ms. Dale Amann > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Thanks Everyone for helping me with the town. On second look, what I call an "S" is probably an "L". John GEHM was the son of Peter and Gertrude SEIF GEHM, who lived in Pana, Christian Co. Thanks again for all the help! Ms. Dale Amann

Sorry about that, but my map did not have Lostant indexed , but it was listed and I did not see it. Sorry again about that . Some words are missread and other mispronounced. Sorry about the wild goose chase. jaw ----- Original Message ----- From: Ms. Dale Amann <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 5:28 PM Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] Looking for a town > Thanks Everyone for helping me with the town.
