Ta Da! All the pages of the Lake Fork Predestinarian Baptist records that have been scanned are now up. Cheryl Rothwell

The index created by Bill Donath is a great tool for finding news articles in that time-frame. You don't have to spend hours reading microfilm that contains the small newspaper print they used back then - going up and down the columns of each page. Mr. Donath did all that for you. It is listed by: year, month, day page # column# subject of the contents of the article (court note, will, visiting relatives, death, etc) Thanks Bill for your many hours of work. This is a massive work effort, and Mr. Donath should be congratulated for taking it on. I have not looked at the index, but I got and read the book of Civil War letters. It was very interesting, especially the views frequently expressed by soldiers and the Herald editors -- a major anti slavery position justifying the war, but we don't necessarily want freed slaves in our Illinois back yard! NIMBY even then! They were also pretty tough on people with opposing positions. I understand that the Herald was a strongly Republican paper. Are there microfilms of the period for Logan County newspapers taking a different political stance? Any plans to look at them? ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Want gee whiz census statistics? You can retrieve the information by state or county? http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/collections/stats/histcensus/index.html In 1950 there were 368 foreign born white females in Logan County. No, it won't list them. Cheryl Rothwell

I am actually looking for information on one of my ancestral families, John Boy & Mary Vogel and their descendants, who lived in Postville/Lincoln, 1851-1954. While looking for that information, I am also indexing the paper to help other researchers more quickly find family related information. The index focuses on Logan County but others are probably slipping in as well. The index of the first roll of microfilm of the Herald, 1859-1867, is available through LCG&HS on CD, pdf format, for $20.00. 1859 begins in April - 1860, 1861, 1862 are pretty well complete - 1863 ends on May 31 - 1864 and 1865 are missing, a real bummer for CW and Postville/Lincoln history buffs, 1866 and 1867 are pretty well complete. I have begun the second roll but it starts with 1869, so 1868 is missing. I am more than half way through 1869. One spin off of this project has been a book I compiled of about 770 of the articles that depict life in Logan County during the early years of the Civil War. "Logan County, Illinois During the Civil War, The Early Years", is a 290 page, 8.5"X11", book that is fully indexed. The highlight for most people would be the approximately 80 letters written by soldiers to the Herald telling of their camp life, battles and points of view of the political situation in the country. The most prolific of these writers was Henry Sturges, the previous editor of the Herald. He wrote very well about the early battles of the war including: Ft. Henry. Ft. Donelson, Pittsburg Landing "Shilo" and the advance on Corinth. Many other contributors have surnames that are still familiar in Lincoln, Mt. Pualski, Atlanta, Elkhart, etc. The book is also available through LCG&HS for $25.00.Contact information for LCG&HS is: Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society 114 N.

Yes, I would really like to see that newspaper list of "Recruits for Civil War" to find out if my ggrandfather's name (Samuel M. Robinson/Robertson) is located there. Thanks.

No, not a clue. The Logan County G&H has a book on the schools, don't know if it covers that. I've changed the subject to Moomey, gives you a better chance that a Moomey researcher will find it. Nice page from the Times News there, very old. I forget about that resource.

If you are interested in the Lake Fork Predestinarian Baptists I have added information to the page AND a pdf of the first 19 pages of the original records. As you can see by the pages, the record is extremely fragile. http://www.rootsweb.com/~illogan/lakeforkbaptists.htm Cheryl Rothwell

If you go to the state archives Civil War database and search for a soldier you can click on his name in the results and his record pops up. I don't know when they did that, just ran across it. Cheryl Rothwell
