Cheryl did not pass that link along because it has some problems. [I try to check links before posting.] Whoever posted it to the other list got the information from a post by Mary Ann Kaylor of Sangamon. She and I have been checking some of the problems all day. It does NOT have the gazetter part of the 1837 IL Gazetteer for example. It turns out it was put up by a consortium in western Illinois and is really geared to western Illinois rather than the whole state. I don't know if misrepresents itself or it was misrepresented in the Springfield paper. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com
