hi, New additions of massive amounts of old information to my web pages, to the extent that i unexpectedly ran out of room three months ahead of schedule, have caused the following changes: 1) changing the URL to <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/livingstoncounty/myhomepage/business.html"> Livingston County, Illinois, Family History Research: Genealogy</A> and my e-mail address for matters on Livingston County has now been changed to: LivingstonCounty@aol.com This web page is a master index of every family known to have lived in Livingston County with the decade of residence, type of information, source of information all clearly documented with most of the information available on line with the URL noted. 2) <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/illinoygenealogy/myhomepage/writing.html"> Illinois Family History Research: Place Names of Each Illinois County</A> now covers all 102 Illinois Counties, as does my e-mail address of IllinoyGenealogy@aol.com The web page now has a complete listing of past and present place names, mainly towns and townships, and a listing of US Post Offices of 1859/60 Livingston County alone has additional information... Current Area Archives, Organizations, and Zip Codes Presently only ten counties have full coverage, meaning: Place names: Elevation, Incorporation Date, Former Names, Later Name, Post Office Dates of Operation, Population, Railroads, Rural Route, Towns, Townships, US Post Offices 1859/60, Zip Code... each county has "last updated date" at the beginning of each county listing... each county has a listing of each railroad that runs through it with each town listed The ten counties with full coverage: Ford, Grundy, Iroquois, LaSalle, Livingston, Marshall, McLean, Putnam, Tazewell, and Woodford Expanded coverage, meaning everything above EXCEPT any changes made since about 1965... populations, Post Office closings, RR name changes... of the following counties, soon to be complete coverage of the next five counties during November: Kankakee, De Witt, Logan, Vermilion, and Champaign (in the sequence given) and i plan on at least expanded coverage of ten more counties by year's end: Boone, De Kalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Will, Winnebago, and Cook The 25 counties listed above will cover the complete northeast quarter of the state... hopefully most will be done by this year's end and fit on one page. Don't expect either web page to pop up in ten seconds, especially if one tries to hop on around 10:00pm as the page is rather large. If you get a message that AOL is busy just tap on your reload button a few times and AOL wakes up and lets you in. The factors that have slowed me down are tedium, eye strain, and the inability to type while eating popcorn... the latter one being most important to me... and my stomach agrees. happy hunting 8>:) dennis
