Perhaps Levi is related to Nathaniel's unknown father. Nathaniel Miller married Catharine Lohnes of Lee, Oneida Co NY and they had a daughter; the family story is they went to Canada by 1860. I can't locate them or young brother Levi in any census after 1850. Daughter Henrietta Frances Miller, b 1847 Trenton, Oneida Co NY, is back in the US by the 1870 census with a spouse. Please keep me in mind should you find a clue for me. Best wishes. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Miller (b ca 1827) and brother Elijah Miller (b ca 1830) of East Lincoln, Logan Co IL...are they sons of Levi and Laura Miller (b 1793 and 1796 respectively) of Oneida Co NY? My question stems from searching for sibs and parents of Nathaniel Miller, b 1821, Utica, Oneida Co NY. Nathaniel and (younger brother?) Levi (b 1832) were pump makers in the Lee, Trenton, Floyd area of Oneida Co NY in 1850. Gad and his father, Levi Miller, were machinists in Utica in 1850, and Elijah was a bookkeeper. Nathaniel is my gggrandfather. Would like any information on this family. Thanks! Judy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In those Lincoln newspapers you have on microfilm are there papers from 1865? I'm thinking May and June 1865.

National Archives and the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU) Announce Digitizing Partnership Washington, D.C. Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein and Wayne Metcalfe, vice president of the Genealogical Society of Utah, today announced a five-year partnership agreement to digitize case files of approved pension applications of widows of Civil War Union soldiers from the National Archives. GSU has many years of experience microfilming historical records at the National Archives and throughout the world and in recent years has moved to providing digital capture and publishing services. Digitization makes possible unprecedented access to the unique historic documents in the custody of the National Archives. This partnership will begin with a pilot project to digitize, index, and make available the first 3,150 of the pension files. Upon successful completion of the pilot, GSU, doing business as FamilySearch, in conjunction with Footnote.com <http://footnote.com/>, intends to digitize and index all 1,280,000 Civil War and later widows' files in the series. These records, of great interest to genealogists and others, are currently available only at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. The widows' pension application files, a rich source of information about ordinary American citizens of the time, include supporting documents such as affidavits, depositions of witnesses, marriage certificates, birth records, death certificates, and pages from family bibles. "For a number of years we have had a very productive relationship with FamilySearch," said Professor Allen Weinstein. "This agreement expands our relationship to enable online access to some of the most popular and voluminous records in our holdings. It is an exciting step forward for our institutions and for the American people," he added. "There is an unbelievable treasure trove of genealogical information housed in the records of the National Archives; the vast majority of which genealogy enthusiasts have never seen," said Wayne Metcalfe. "The growing digital collection and indices that will stem from this relationship will be a priceless resource for countless family historians and researchers." FamilySearch will make the digitized materials available for free through www.FamilySearch.org <http://www.familysearch.org/> and in 4500 family history centers worldwide, or on a subscription-based website operated by a third party, subject to National Archives approval. They will also be available at no charge in National Archives' research rooms in Washington, DC, and regional facilities across the country. In addition, FamilySearch will donate to the National Archives a copy of all the digital images and the associated indexes and other metadata that they create. This agreement is one of a series of agreements that the National Archives has reached or will reach with partners to digitize portions of its holdings.

Contained in a typical OMPF are documents outlining all elements of military service, including assignments, evaluations, awards and decorations, education and training, demographic information, some medical information and documented disciplinary actions. Some records also contain photographs of the individual and official correspondence concerning military service.

You can check the marriage on the Illinois State Archives database of marriages. It's free. You can search for partials, ie, grooms with the name of Wac in Logan County.

Is there anyone that would have access to marriage records between 1866-1870 there in Logan Co? I am interested in any marriage that a Male Wax, Wack, Wacht, etc might have taken place there in Logan Co. I know there were 3 Wax brothers that married in Mason Co. but the marriage records do not state whether it was their first marriage or not. Would appreciate any help on this. Thank You, Alexan67@msn.com

Was Logan still a part of Sangamon county in the time frame of when these people were married? That would explain why Sangamon county and not Logan county.

That's a good thought but it doesn't apply in either case. I believe his was about 1915 and mine was 1885. The marriage records pre 1839 are at IRAD, no need to go through the Sangamon County Clerk or those. And IRAD is considerably cheaper.

You might try Indiana too. I stumbled across one there. Joan Cheryl Rothwell <historysleuth@gmail.com> wrote: Good thinking James.

Good thinking James. I have great grandparents who have a wedding picture but no marriage certificate. Depending on whether you believe family records [based upon what I have no idea, most likely what the wife told her kids and grandkids] or the 1900 census they were married a year or two before their first child was born.

I don't know where they were married. Rumor has it that they were married in Iowa. Howard is from Lincoln so I wanted to see if there was some announcement in the newspaper to give me a hint to where to look. They then lived in Lincoln and had kids.

Is anyone able to look for any announcement for the marriage of Howard Cunningham and Margaret Mary Campbell in the Lincoln newspaper? I believe they were married in 1913 or 1914. I can't seem to find any records that have their date of marriage on it.
