I also have a lot of the cemetery books, also the 1850, 1870 and 1880 census books for Macon Co. and will do lookups. I also have the census subscription for Ancestry and can lookup 1920 and 1930 Macon Co. Illinois census.

There is a book in the public library [not the ill. State Historical Library] that has all the listings for cemeteries including name, birth, death dates. I don't recall the title, but I will lookup the file I copied, and if needed by anybody, will enter the title of the book to the list. Mary

I have Macon cemetery inscription volume VII (Is this the one you have, Sweetnikita?) which includes Salem, Mount Gilead, Walnut Grove and Turpin cemeteries. I also have Volume III, which includes Illini , Long Grove and Macon cemetaries.

Hi I have Salem Cemetery book and macon county death index . i am willing to do lookups . Susan Gayle

Are there people on this list who have one or more of the Macon County cemetery books and who would be willing to do lookups for other list members? I don't have any requests myself, just asking as a general point of information. It's done on other county lists.

There are a couple of us listed on the Macon Co. webpage who do lookups; it lists what books we are able to use. Look at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacon under Lookups. Barb Madsen

I'm trying to locate descendants of Harry K Reed and Anna A Dukes Reed who married in 1899 and lived in Macon County through the 1930 census. They had at least 3 boys, Irvin, Harold H and Howard N (Norman?). I think Irvin might also have been named James, and I've been told there was a Robert--maybe Harold H was Harold R? I'd like to know when Harry died, but I'm most interested in finding descendants of the boys. Judy Dukes in Terre Haute (Vigo Co) Indiana

Ladies and Gentlemen: In case it might be of any help to anyone with Baptist ancestors, I submit the website of the Primitive Baptist Library, in Carthage, Illinois, which has done research on churches of that faith in over 80 counties of Illinois, and in over 30 states across the northern part of our country. The Library has a collection of church and association records, and periodicals, with obituaries, and membership lists have been extracted and entered into a database which now has about 44,000 names, about half of which are for Illinois. The website is: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html Sincerely, Elder Robert Webb

Jean Alongi, who owns some CDs from Automated Archives which includes marriage records from the following Illinois counties: Bond Boone Cass DuPage Lee Macon Mason McDonough Menard Montgomery Peoria Pike Sangamon Stark St. Clair Vermillion Warren Woodford, had kindly offered to do lookups upon request. Please do not ask for more than two lookups at once and wait until you receive a response to your first request before sending another. Her email is azladyme@cox.net.

Married Sarah Wilson 12/09/1874 in Macon Co. According to the 1880 census of Friends Creek, Macon, Ill Reuben was a farmer and he and his wife had a daughter 2 year old daughter, Sylvia. The 1900 census has them in Normal, McLean Co., Ill. Sylvia is occupation is school teacher. Virgil Duren Ross b. Nov. 13, 1842 in 1845 South Carrollton, Muhlenberg Co., KY; d. 1926 Argenta, Ill. Married Sarah E. Taylor , 12/10/1876 in Macon Co., Ill. Can find no other records between the date of the marriage and date of death.

The following site covers old medical terms. It also has information on epidemics, poisons, medical symbols, etc. It's pretty interesting. You can even figure out what the doctor writes on your prescription. http://www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm

When I contacted my local library they said they didn't have it and had no plans to get it. I joined another organization which had it. About three months later I discovered my library not only had it but I could access it just like I access the card catalog. You might go to your library's web site and see if they gave you the correct information -- and then check back in a month or so. They were wrong anyway.

Is your public library online? Does it have a subscription to Heritage Quest? Many libraries do although it is often not well publicized. If your library is a subscriber and is online you can get some great free information from your home. You may need to contact your library for your user name and password. Often the user name is built in and the password is your library card number. Heritage Quest provides access to the ProQuest Historical Newspapers New York Times 1851-1998 Database and to Heritage Quest Online which includes all census images through 1930 and an incredible searchable collection of over 25,000 old family and local histories. This is a growing database. Currently the indexed censuses available are 1790-1820 and 1860-1870, 1890 [what there is of it]-1920. [Keep in mind the 1880 census is available to search at www.familysearch.org although the images are not free.] The books are mind boggling. There are now 7932 family histories, 12049 local histories and 260 primary sources. Both the indexed censuses and the book collection are searchable.

Cheryl, I contacted my local library some time ago asking if I could access their Heritage Quest from home, but they said, no, I would only be able to do searches with it in the library. They also told me that in order to use Heritage Quest at home, I would have to buy my own subscription. Julie Cheryl Rothwell <LoganCty@mindspring.com> wrote: Is your public library online?
