SANFORD, Fred and/or Amelia Am looking for any information on the above people. Were married in Stoddard Co. MO before 1914. Were in Murphys- boro IL and went to East St. Louis. Reportedly had two daughters maybe named Fredia and Vacal. One of the girls apperantly married a man of Polish descent and they opened and operated a Delicatessen/Market in East St. Louis and it may still be in business today. Have been unable to locate it or any of the above. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. TIA -- Clyde Gotcher <gotcher@ktis.net>

Last year someone was asking about information on a Louise Schwindt (or similar spelling) who had married a Goodheart. Please make contact again, system crashed and lost email address, have additional information on my Great Grandmother Lois Gotthardt, born in 1878, would like to still match information to see if these are the same person, you said the picture I have on my website of her and the pictures you have of your Louise look alike. Thanks Bob Gill

Hello everyone, 1. Could someone please look up for me the marriage date of Daniel P. BOYD to Lizzie KNOWLES. It took place in Madison Co. (or maybe St. Clair Co.) around 1865/75. 2. Secondly if anyone has access to death records, can you please tell me the death date in Madison Co. (I believe) of Mary/Mamie Agnes (Boyd) SLOCUM, their daughter. It would be around 1925/45. Her husband was Elmer E. Slocum. 3. Lastly, if anyone can tell me the death date in Madison Co. of Thomas Duddleston SLOCUM, Elmer's father, I would appreciate it. His wife was Susannoh (Akins), and he disappears after the 1900 census when he would have been 72. Thank you very much, Kevin

Does anyone know what happened to the German Evangelical church in Troy. I know it was there the early part of the century, and hopefully someone will know what happened to the marriage and baptism records that were there.

ZILPHA THOMAS married JAMES DUNN 9 Mar 1819 in Madison Co., IL. I suspect James might be the son of James Dunn who died bef 18 Oct 1818 in Madison Co., IL. It's possible James Dunn had these children: James, Michael, Alexander b. abt. 1810, Reynolds b. 1814 in NJ, and Elizabeth b. abt. 1817 in OH. Reynolds Dunn seems to have had some ties to Hancock Co. He died in probably Schuyler Co., in 1850, married to Mary Ann Bates. Might anything look familiar to anyone?

The URL is what is in between the ***'s, not including them. Just so you know, it is only my genealogy links page and has nothing to do with the Norton Building, I always place it after my signature.

Can anyone tell me how to go about getting a death certificate for someone who died in Madison county in 1910. I would like the address and the cost thank you in advance.

The best source is IRAD - the cost is FREE, they are in the Norton Bldg in Springfield Ill -- Illinois State Archives. Or spend $9 and buy it from the courthouse in Edwardsvile, ILL..
