Typing of the The Prairie Farmer's Directory, published 1919 by Prairie Farmer Publishing Company is done and can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacoup/pfd/index.htm Thank you to volunteer typists Linda Arnold, Marsha Ensminger, Gloria Frazier, Darren King, Kim Kolk, Carla Leber, Carl Lentz, Carol Mears, Maureen Pierce, Vivian Watkins. There were 108 pages and 86 of those pages were typed by Darren, Carl and Vivian. Thank you, thank you. Carl is the father of Elizabeth Wood who passed away in 2005. Elizabeth was a volunteer typist for Macoupin County data. Carl's friend Vivian jumped in and typed in honor of Elizabeth. Whatta lady! Thank you, Vivian. Vivian was not researching in Macoupin County. Remember, the directory is of farmers' families, not all families in the county. With the children listed and maiden names listed, the directory is a very good resource of genealogy. Gloria ------------------ Gloria M.

Whoo hoo!!! No Bell's, but John and Maggie Williamson are listed: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacoup/pfd/pfd-w.htm Williamson, John J. (Maggie K. Bell) Ch William, Harry, Tillie, Agnes, Robert, May, Arthur, Frank, Joseph; Gillespie R12 Gillespie Sec5 T160a J. Williamson Est. (1867) I wish it mentioned how much land they had. We'll have to go dig through the land records sometime. Makes me wonder when they moved north to Staunton.

Gloria The PF Directory is super with good genealogical information. To you and your volunteers - THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT OF THIS LIST AND THE COUNTY WEBSITE! I noted that there were two instances in the B's where two families are grouped together as one big entry. You may want to correct these by adding a space between the two farms or put a notation on the cover page for people to look carefully at the larger entries to see if two families are grouped together accidentally.
