Does anyone know what the occupation or skill of "Aurist" is? It's not on the list of antiquated occupations that I consulted. This is in reference to a man who was described as a physician, aurist, and oculist. Oculist refers to skill in treating diseases of the eye. Juli Claussen

Thanks a bunch Shirley. Don Goveia

There were families with the name Worrall in the area. The ones I knew were pronounced to rhyme with curl. I think the Worrall family was of English origin.

Phillip: Where are your McGuire's from; mine from Lake County, Illinois. Also connection to McGuire from Cook County. Mary McGuire married Albert Tompson from Lake County; their daughter Alice married Martin "Pat" McGuire from Chicago (Cook Co.), Illinois. Should have read the rest of your message the first time. Sandy

Phillip, hello! Roodhouse is in Greene County, Illinois (my father was born and raised there - Keith Snyder was his name). Hope this helps. Good hunting, Sandy

Phil, Thats probably Roodhouse in Greene Co., IL. I also notice you have Sharps in your Family???? I have researched Marsh family in the Manchester, Winchester area. Don

I suppose I should mention it is Greene County a little northeast of Carrollton the County seat.

By now you have probably received many replies. It is called Roodhouse, quite a nice town, and on all maps. Raynebop

Bless your busy little heart Shirley.... you are amazing! Bonnie Brewer << At Last! >>

At Last!

My uncle's (actually, he's my dad's stepbrother) birth certificate says he was born in Poplar City, IL. According to a web site, it is in Mason Co., southeast of Havana. Does it still exist since I don't find it in my atlas? Because he's not blood related, I've never researched that part of the family but my uncle is hoping I'll do some research for him. Is there anyone else researching the names HAMPTON, STUART, or CADWALLADER (sp ?) from the Mason County area???? Thanks for any help. Linda
