All the coal-mining towns in Southern Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, etc., attracted immigrants, many of them Lithuanians in the early century. I belong to a Lithuanian geneological list and have volunteered to look up and record Lithuanian names from the cemeteries in Macoupin County, especially Gillespie where I grew up. I have two questions: Is there any information in the historical society in Carlinville about the Lithuanians. I have a feeling they were probably lumped together with Poles and Russians and their identity as Lithuanians was lost. Secondly, I don't relish going to the cemetery and writing down all the Lithuanian names (Holy Cross cemetery is probably over 1/3 Lithuanian). I'm lazy. so, I'm wondering if there is a published list of all the people buried in the various surrounding cemeteries. Thanks for listening. Beni
