You mentioned that you are researching WEERTS and DETMERS. I assume you already have all the marriages involving that surname---if not, go to <http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html> for a searchable database of Illinois marriages. I looked just now and both of those surnames are there. Good luck. Nora PS I'll get back to you after I go to the library. PS If any trouble getting to that site, let me know as I know another route there.
