Well, Family Discovery is back at it. These two kids from Cedar Rapids Iowa are charging $43.00 to 59.00 for "unlimited access to their website. The only problem is that their website is a conglomoration of OTHER PEOPLE'S research. They put all the links they can find on their site - even linking to other peoples personal web pages. Further, most of their data "cells" are empty. They claim to have census, marriage, land records, etc., and they do . . . kind of . . . For example, for Illinois, all they have are: A link for marriage, cemetery and death records (which doesn't work) A link for Civil War regiments - which takes you to the Illinois Civil War Project Civil War regiment nicknames - which takes you to the Illinois Civil War Project Casualty lists for the Korean and Viet Nam war - which takes you to NARA records. If you're even tempted to buy this service, you may want to take a look here: http://www.familydiscovery.com/members/

I recently sent a posting re- Abner C. Wines. I mistakenly indicated that he appeared in the 1860 Jersey County Census. That was a MISTAKE! He appeared in the 1850 census. I don't know how to correct the error except t hrough another entry. I'm new on this so if anyone can help I'd apprecite it. Ed Wines

Noticed the following request for HOOD information. My research has turned up some HOODs, but I haven't been able to directly tie them into my family, other than the marriage of Lillian Inez Buck (b. 11 Feb 1890 d. 14 Jan 1914) to George Hood. They were married on 8 February 1911. Lillian was my grandaunt. I have no children listed for them. They probably lived in Springfield, Illinois. I do have a couple of newspaper obits for HOODs, however, who may be connected to the above George. Reuben Hood of Waverly, Illinois. Mrs. Sarah Margaret Rector Hood, wife of Reuben. If anyone would like me to send copies of the obits please send me your E-mail address and I'll be happy to do it. If anyone knows anything about George Hood, his family or children, I'd appreciate hearing from you... Other surnames that I have an interest in are listed at the end of this message... **************************************************************************** **************** -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 29, 2000 4:19 PM To: ILMAGA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILMAGA] Request for Greene Co Illinois Biographies Greene Co Bios: Elizabeth Hood C.F.

Dear Shirley, I am having real trouble finding Catherine (Kate) Smith b. 1826 Nairn, dau. of Alex. Smith & Isabella Munro. I know she marr. a BAILEY and had a son Alexander Bailey who was alive in 1932. She does not appear in any Morgan Co. census. I have no idea where she lived and died. My only hope seems to be if she is mentioned in the obits of her mother and sisters. They are: Isabella Munro Smith. Died Jacksonville Jan. 22, 1886 ( her mother) Grace Smith (unmarried) Died Jacksonville Feb. 15, 1886 ( her sister) Margaret Smith " Died Jacksonville Jan. 2, 1901 ( her sister) I know you are a super busy person. I am willing to pay for somebody to go to the Library and look in Newspaper for these obits if you can arrange it. Let me know and I will send some dollars for this. I am getting desperate. Obits can be SO valuable. Hopefully, Marion Baker

Looking for Catherine (Kate) SMITH, born 1826,dau. of Alexander Smith & Isabella Munro who came from Nairn, Scot. settled in Jacksonville about 1850. At some point, Kate marr. (unknown) BAILEY and had at least one son Alexander Bailey who was alive in 1932. Would love to know when and where Kate married and the first name of her Bailey husband. I have been tracking an Alexander Bailey in Whiteside Co. IL but I think it may not be the correct one. Any help much appreciated. Marion

I have been a legacy user for about 1 1/2 years now and absolutly love it. I had searched many other programs, and ended up developing an elaborate system on my word processor (with double indexes for everyone, cross references etc) because nothing would work for me. But legacy does work. And the company is the best I have dealt with. They listen to customers and provide updates to the program about twice per month (for free). It is a first class program and a first class operation. -kk -----Original Message----- From: Mary Ann Kaylor [mailto:makaylor@motion.net] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 12:35 PM To: ILMAGA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILMAGA] Fwd: [KAYLOR-L] Free Legacy software program A forward from my Kaylor List.....if anyone out there does not have Family History Software, this sounds like a good deal.....its FREE from Legacy, supposedly no strings attached.
