Georgenia, I would be MORE than delighted to purchase the book since you referenced my John Giger and his children. I went to the Madison County website but found no reference to the Historical Society. Do you have a phone number or an address? >History of Madison Co., Illinois You can purchase it from the Madison Co., Historical Society. I did find a Madison County Genealogical Society, but the book they offer only has 152 and you mentioned that the GIGER reference was on page 464, so obviously this is not the right book. 1999 PUBLICATIONS MADISON COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY P.O. BOX 631, EDWARDSVILLE, IL 62025-0631 1882 HISTORY OF MADISON CO., IL SURNAME INDEX, 152 pp. I'm very grateful for your assistance. Maggie Kyger Miller maggiem@empnet.com
