No, I only death records from 1878-1881 & Coroner's Death records from 1870-1888. Sorry Stan

Could you please lookup the death of Margaret [nee Stucky] Bartlett. All I know is she lived in Alton and died between 1869 and 1890? Thanks , Glenn

Hi Frank, There is no township listed on the page, however, I will check the library the next time I go and see if I can find that information for you. Here is the record: John Esterbrook, 1 male under 5, 2 males 5 to 10, 2 males 20 to 30, 1 male 30 to 40, 2 females 5 to 10, 1 female 30 to 40. Hope this helps, Jill

Seeking info on John POWERS, farmer in Godfrey, Madison Co. Born Ireland, Roman Catholic. Age 59 on the 1880 census so poss birth: c. 1821. Wife in 1880: Catherine, age 45. Still alive in 1897 when his bother, Walter, died. I hope this guy survived to be on the 1900 census [haven't had a chance to check] Anyone researching the POWERS family? Jane Lahey

The 1912 Centennial History of Madison County has a description of Ursuline Academy of the Holy Family, in Alton, which is posted on the web. The school is not in the phonebook today under that name. Does it exist under another name? Are there still Ursuline nuns in Alton? Where might the records be? Jane Lahey

To the person who has the book on death records in Madison Co., does the book go past 1900? Jane Lahey

Dear Jill, Thank you so much for the look-up, it is greatly appreciated. And if you could find the township, that would be even greater Thanks again, Frank in Colorado.

Hello List, Does anyone on the list have access to the 1830 Federal Census for Madison County, IL and be willing to do a look-up for me? I am looking for any information that might be included in the census for the household of John ESTERBROOK on page 194. In the index I have, no township is mentioned. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Frank in Colorado --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience

Thank you very much for the information about the city directory of 1930 and the Bohlen names in it. And I am very happy with the picture that was sent. It is great! Frank S.

I don't have records for Alton Cemetary, but I have a book that shows Madison co. deaths. Here is what is listed: Chester Sherman, died: 31 Oct 1881, Mitchell Twp Jane Sherman, died 2 Feb 1878, Nameoki Twp it doesn't list a place of burial for them. I hope this helps you.

I tried two others and got to them earlier. http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/Microfilm.htm http://www.library.uiuc.edu/techserv/inp/mergeddatabase/search_form.asp I put in Madison and IL in this form and it said there were 105 titles. But, now I can't get to the sites. Maybe they are down or turned off after hours? Don't know at the moment.

Does anyone have any printed records of any of the Alton cemeteries? I am looking for Sherman and Shandrow names.from 1870 to present. Joseph Meyer --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Good Day to you all, Two things I need help with today: 1) In the Missouri Directory there were two relatives of mine listed with "confra" as an occupation. Any idea on what this stands for? 2) Family Folklore has it that my GG grandfather was "killed" gambling in the early 1900s. His name was John Kaiser and this happened around 1910. Any suggestions on how I could go about tracking down that story? As always, thanks for your time and ideas! LeRoyce

If you "fish" around at the site below, they will have a list of newspapers available on microfilm for the area of IL you are searching for that story. I forget the url for the lists. Then you could order the microfilm from your local library on interlibrary loan. If you can't find your way thru the sites and how to do interlibrary loan, make a call to the IL State Historical Library and ask. Phone number site below. Since you are dealing with 1910, you shouldn't have much trouble finding a newspaper with the story.

MO may be another story on microfilmed newspapers and interlibrary loans. I can dig on the internet to find out about MO if you need me to.

Good evening, everyone. I am researching the Lacquemant/Lockman (plus about a doze *other* variations) in Madison County. I have some indication that Peter/Pierre Lacquement arrived about 1850 or so with two sons, Frank/Francois and Hippolite/Hyppolite. I have other information, but it is quite lengthy and is best checked out at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sunny/kinder/first/lacquement/lacquement.html I would love to hear from anyone researching this family. I have found some "contradictions" in this information that was so graciously given to me. I would like verification of what I do have, and possibly more information on the females in the family line. Seems that they were pretty much overlooked when this information was gathered. I'll gladly share what little additional information I have with those interested in these lines. Thanks!! Lorraine Sonnenberg Newsome

I can't help with East Alton 1930, but I do have a 1927 Alton City Directory that lists 3 Bohlen women that might fit into your family. They are: Miss Anna Bohlen hse keeper 1415 Liberty Miss Ella Bohlen res 1001 Langdon Miss Martha Bohlen asst Dr. A. W. Rue res 716 E. 7th Alonzo W. Rue Dentist, 10a W. 3rd. phone 213 res 814 Grove at the same address on Grove Street is Emma Rue wid Frank Hope this will give some life to a couple of family memebers, if they're a wrong family, Oh Well. TOM SAXTON

Ken, I am pleased to hear from you. I know my great grandfather was Ekke Bohlen. I've seen some of your research and would like to share what I know from my grandmother Mary Bohlen's family. I want to construct a mind picture of these people. There are the names and places, but I have nothing about who they were. Frank Sellers
