Before anyone starts reseaching for Mark, ask him what he might already have because I shipped him a bunch of stuff tonite. If anyone is researching this family, contact him. I found Anna's burial in Behme Cem from TR III but can't find the rest of his mentions. I did find Gerret in the 1880. ILStateArchives databases for him to go thru, too. He mentions taxes, Linda Kmiecik. I referred the list and your name to him. Oh, that Carol email address, I can't remember. If Carol is on this list, let me know a new email address. Long time ago and 4000 plus files, I don't know. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacoup/natural/natural.htm#ship at the bottom of that screen, she is mentioned. Thanks. See Mark's query below. Gloria -------------------------------------------------------- From: "Ross, Mark S" <[email protected]> Subject: EMAIL ADDRESS Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 17:52:30 -0500 Hello! I went thru your website and saw an email address to a "Carol" listed as GFS [email protected] I wanted to ask her opinions on some matters about Germany but the email listed did not go thru? Is there a more current email address for her? Also, I had some early ancestors living in Macoupin Illinois. His name was John Ross, with wife Mary Ann Fickes and at least one son ...John Casper Ross. John Casper Ross has ties to Macoupin at least thru the civil war and lists it where he enlisted, Illinois 32, army. I know also he married a woman by the first name of "Anna" there and she is buried in some cemetery 3 miles near or down from an old school house. Would you, could you, have any tax or residence rolls for Macoupin for 1863 thru 1865 for John Ross or John Casper Ross and his wife Sara. Or if there is an independent resesearcher I could hire to do some research for me? I would like to be able to locate the family when they were there, a marriage license for John Casper Ross and Sara, and the cemetery she is buried in, and if there was a Gerret Ross or Casper Ross living nearby at the same time. Thank you for your time, You have a wonderful website by the way! Mark Ross Email: [email protected] Cell: 913-709-5979
