That is great news. I was thinking earlier today that he was probably now talking with the ancestors he was researching so diligently. I hope so.

Others can say this better than I can but will try to let the ones on the list who might not know of what happened to Cody. Cody Handlin of Carlinville was 15 years old. He was kind to everyone. He enjoyed his friends. And, would you believe he LOVED genealogy. He certainly did. He worked in the Carlinville library. He worked at the county archives searching for his ancestors family data. Many of us can still see the sweet young face of Cody working on genealogy or with his friends. There was a blast at his home in Carlinville this Wednesday morning. The blast leveled the house. His mother and his 9 yr old nephew were pronounced dead at the scene. Cody and his 27 yr old brother were taken to Memorial hospital in Springfield. Cody's extensive research gone. His brother as I understand is doing ok, not critical. Cody was burnt as much as said 80 to 90 % of his body. Cody was critical. Cody passed away yesterday, 3 Aug 2006. Such a waste. Such a reason not understood. If anyone has additions, memories or comments to make about Cody, they would be welcome. Something you say in memorian to Cody's life. There is something to be determined. Someone will let us know what that might be at a later date. Gloria

Does anyone have access to the marriage index or newspaper notices for a marriage circa 1900-1904 (inclusive) for Robert Wones to Emma Grace Halford? Please reply to Diane privately [email protected] If there is a fee for you to search the index, please include this with your response. Thanks Diane

I am seeking the obituaries for these two people. Mary died 1 Oct 1930 & her son Edward died 25 April 1945. Both were living in Barr Township at the time of their deaths. They moved to Macoupin County from Brown County before 1880. Having spent so much time in Barr, 50 and 65 plus years, I am hoping there might be a good write up on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Sam Jones

Linda Would you check for the surname MOOMEY or CAUDLE in your book. Thanks so very much. Avie

Is there a way to fnd out who left Illinois for the Oklahioma Land rush. I am reserchng the CAUDLE surname. It is my underatanding that Isahm Wesley CAUDLE and his wife Nellie (BRANDT) CAUDLE were in this rush. they ended up in the Indian Territory. What is the best way to research this and determine when they got to OK.? Thanks for any and all help. Avie

The best way is probably search the family through the census and see when and where their children were born. When searching remember to look for not only Oklahoma but Indian Territory in the federal census. There is a listing for both in 1900 whereas only OK in 1910. Some people used OK for the birthplace even though it should have been Indian Territory. OK did not become a state until late (I think Dec) of 1907. So that should help in trying to figure out what the true state of the territory/state was. Debbi Geer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Thanks, Darren. I can also check the Recorder of Deeds office at the Macoupin Co. courthouse. I also checked the 1875 Atlas and 1893-4 Plat Book of Macoupin Co., IL reprinted by the Macoupin Co. Historical Society, and found people in the 1875 Chesterfield township plat with the same names as Daniel Blair's 1850 neighbors . I am pretty confident that is where Blair was in 1850.

Call IRAD for a deed search, that should have the exact location of their land as well as when they bought and sold it, to/from whom, and for how much. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/iradsrch.html Go to this link, select Macoupin and search to see what all records are available thru the IRAD depositoy at UIS in Springfield. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/irad/iradaddr.html The above link will give you the address and phone numbers to call. They take search requests over the phone, typically cost 10 or 25 cents a copy depending on the library (usually also a dollar minimum charge).

The original 266A and 266B do not have towns on them, just Macoupin County. They do have the names as Littleton transcribed them. In skimming a few, I noticed 180 thru 207 do not have towns on them; 208 and 209 have Scottville on them; starting 210 only have Macoupin co on them. That is all I skimmed but looked like many pages only had Macoupin county on them.
