Good afternoon.. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!! I have added all the surnames I've received in the last few days, (I think) and added something new... I always thought that any decent site would include a search engine of some sort. Well, I've added one to the Madison site... Granted, the information there right now is very sketchy, but a search engine does make things easier. As I get new items up, I will re-index the search engine. And announce the new items, pages here. Besides the surnames, I've received some wonderful Military goodies. If you have anything to add for that section, don't be afraid to let me know! <grin> Like I said before... I'm not greedy... I just want ALLLLL I can get!!! <grin> Have a great one, kiddies!! Lorraine CC Madison County ILGenWeb

Vicki, I've added your names to the pages... If I'm not mistaken, somewhere in my ex-hubby's family, I've seen the name Chipron, but I don't know where... I'll have to dig it out, and see if I can find it... Thanks! Lorraine At 11:14 PM 8/5/2004, you wrote: >Lorraine,I welcome you as well!

Good evening, everyone.. I think I kinda made a boo-boo and didn't make myself clear on some things... <grin> If you have items you would like me to add to the site such as surnames, or anything else, please email me "off list". If it is on the list, I might miss it, plus, and special needs could be addressed better that way. I caught one email here with surnames, but if you don't see your names by Monday, let me know. I'm going to re-design the surname page.. it's getting very long!!1 And this is a *wonderful* thing!!! Thanks a bunch, kids!! Have a great weekend!! Lorraine CC Madison Co. ILGenWeb

I suggest that you go to the county recorder's office. They should have the record. Maryjane - Volunteer for Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness www.raogk.org

Lorraine... Thanks for getting my surnames up... I've been trying to get them added for well over a year and a half. ;-) Anyone out there know anything about the Spicer and/or Gruenewald families, late 1800 - early 1900 era please drop me a line. Can't wait to see the new goodies!

I am planning a trip to Madison County in the next few weeks and I am wondering if anyone can give me any hints are searching property records. I know where my grandparents lived and a time frame. I have been told that my grandmother bought the property before she was married and they had a house built on it. I have already found the document of when it was sold, after their deaths, but I would like to find the information of when it was originally purchased. Thank you. Nancy

I am happy to announce Lorraine, the new county coordinator for Madison County ILGenWeb, will be the new Madison County genealogy maillist manager. I have enjoyed monitoring the maillist. I have enjoyed watching you all helping each other. I will be unsubscribing from the Madison maillist but if you all ever need anything over in Macoupin County, don't hesitate to holler. We will do our best to help you. Lorraine sounds like just what the doctor ordered for the Madison County genealogy site and maillist. Good luck with your research.

I got some more.. so those will be added within the next couple of days... I have also up-dated the Queries pages... I didn't find many queries on the site. I cleaned them up and added them, along with some new ones I have received. I have also added links on the query page, to the Rootsweb and Genealogy.com message boards for the county.

I may or may not have Lithuanian ties -- my father always said his ancestors came from Prussia, and I am wondering if Prussia may not have been part of what are now the Balkan states in the early 1800's and earlier. Family name was Savitz, and in the 1890s the Savitz brothers operated a coal mine in Madison Co (You can find info at the site of the O'Fallon Historical Society: Coal Mines of the Area, http://www.ofallonhistory.org/histgory/centennial/cencoal.shtml. on that one and lots of others. The Savitzes also settled in Pa, the Philadelphia area I think, but can't find much on them there, at least on my ancestors. I did not see that name in your list, nor did I recognize any of your names. Hope that helps. Sallie Garlington -------------- Original message -------------- > hello group!

Lorraine thank you in advance for all the work you will be doing. My father's family is from Madison County. I am researching the Willmann and Reynolds and Giger families. I already have a wonderful start and lots of information. Regenia Campbell

Thank you, Lorraine for taking over the Madison County ILGenWeb site. Yes, it has been dormant for quite some time. This is a great group of researchers. They help each other. I am sure they will offer you donations that will help other Madison Co researchers. We all wish you luck and are looking forward to a great Madison Co site with a lot of help for researchers.
