I am hoping to link Leroy OVERSTREET, (1812 KY-1849 Carlinville, Macoupin, IL) to his parents and sibs. Also I would love to know more about his widow Caroline (@1819 TN-??) who married Alfred LISLE 11 Mar. 1851, and their subsequent children; Elizabeth @1855 IL, and Margaret @1858. Anyone????

I am researching KIRK and CARRIGAN lines who came to Macoupin ca 1840. Also interested in CAIN, MASTERS, MOORE, WATERS and LAWSON who arrived in Morgan/Greene Cos prior to 1850, and then moved into Macoupin. GOODPASTURES entered into CAIN line in TN in late 1700's. Also interested in BETTIS connections. Carolynn J. Bettis Girard, IL bettis@ctllc.com

Hi, My gift to you - a private lookup for pre 1900 IL marriages and pre 1881 Macoupin probate index. I must have a first name along with the surname. Contact me privately, please. Oh, be patient because I am doing the Christmas thing around this house. Since turning the Macoupin page over to Eric, I have been out putting some of MY OWN queries on county pages. I am helping a little around the state (ILGenWeb) with maillists, page evaluations, and a few counties with any help on their county page they would like for me to help. I have been sending Eric "To Do" msgs so he will keep Macoupin County in tip top shape. In other words, driving him crazy. Those flowers and dots are driving me crazy so Ima gonna send him some Christmas decorations. "Guys" just don't do much home decor stuff, well, at least, some don't.<g> Then, I have to say I can't thank him enough for having so much interest in our, his and mine at least, "home" county's genealogy thus keeping the Macoupin County ILGenWeb page updated. Basically, getting my senses back and having some fun with my own genealogy. In working with my Hays genealogy, Barb Hays Clayton is coordinating a Hays reunion to be held in Macoupin 3 Oct 1999. One hasn't been held for years so all of usuns Hays' are looking forward to that. And, there are a lot us Hays' family members. I am planning to "face" the 1860 Macoupin Census. After the Birth Index 1, Honor Roll, and 1850 census, I first said January for the 1860 but may extend that til Feb or Mar. In the meantime, Debi Faris has been typing pages of the 1860 and sending them to me. Thank you, Debi. When I "face" it and ask for typing help for Debi, I will make copies of Littleton's census pages because the book is too tedious to scan by holding the book on the scanner. We could have, after Debi had started Littleton's book, gotten a copy of the original and typed it but Littleton's can be typed and sorted back into original order with a little tweaking. Debi and I have played with that a little. Doug and I are enjoying our new granddaughter Olivia, 7 mos, when we trek the 100 miles. Our other granddaughter, Jessica, 9 yrs, is growing like a weed. We are trekking to Branson for a couple days this week to see some Christmas shows, Rockettes, Mickey Gilley, Boxcar and Bobby Vinton. Beautiful Christmas shows in Branson. Have never seen a bad show over there, yet. Doug is planning on retiring 30 Nov 1999, as of now, so not sure where we will be after that. These communications companies better get their satellites up for cellular and the internet because I want it to be as easy anywhere we go as it is here. I can, too, have my cake and eat it, too.<g> Well, at least, I am gonna try. As for Macoupin County genealogy researching, if you have posted your query to this list a few times and have recd no help, try and try again. Altogether, many of us probably have most of the Macoupin county resource books in our private collections. We can't hand it to you or even to ourselves on a silver platter altho many of us would like to do just that for you. If you give us something "solid" to go on, one or some of us will try to help you somehow get a start even if only that help might be leads. You got other dumb genealogy/computer questions, ask em. I am sure the rest of us have ask plenty of dumb questions.

Hi, My husband's Macoupin (and Montgomery) co. ancestors were William and Sarah Elizabeth (Farrar) Duncan, married in Macoupin Co. Aug 23, 1847. William was from NC. Believe Sarah E. to be the daughter of Green Wesley and Laura (Sinclair) Farrar, also from Macoupin Co. William and Sarah were the parents of David Wesley, Loretta, Louise, William, and James Newton Duncan. The family eventually ended up in Litchfield. Have received information on the net that William is the son of Absalon C. and Elizabeth Duncan who also lived in Macoupin Co. Can anyone help me solve this puzzle? Marilyn Duncan - Belleville IL

OK. I followed the directions as given and will try this again. Sorry for the garbled message. I hope that not all my mail has been going out this way. Here goes. I am looking for descendants of Lewis and Esther CORMACK, who came to the Staunton area of (Madison) Macoupin Co about 1819. Most of their children married here. The surnames I am looking for are: RANDLE DEES RENFRO VANHOOSER POWERS FOWLER WILLIAMS FARRIS WILCOX Thanks. Hope to hear from long, long, lost cousins. Kathy Cormack Kerrville, Texas

I forgot to note in my last e-mail that the proceure I forwarded was for Netscape Communicator 4.5. 4.5 is somewhat different from the procedure Kathie specified for 4.x Sorry 'bout that. Jack Cox

Here is the procedure if you use Netscape Communicator: Click: "Edit" Click: "Preferences" Click: "Mail & Newsgroups Click: "Formatting" Choose: "Use plain text editor to compose messages" Choose: "Ask me what to do if the message has HTML formatting - otherwise send plain text" Click: "OK" Also check the properties for each address in your address book. You can set the preference for text or HTML Some older browsers do not use HTML very efficiently, so on big lists, it's better to send plain text.
