Morgan Death Records, File#1 is now complete. Review the "R" surnames, as some have been added. And added tonight are surnames V-W-Y & Z....no X's. Note that File#2 of Morgan Deaths has just begun, so if you do not see your ancestor, don't give up yet! But I have to warn you, even with File#2 these records aren't complete, so best to try the Courthouse if you know your ancestor died there. Also, remember that it wasn't a Law in IL to file Deaths/Births until 1916, so many weren't filed. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/index.html takes you to the Home page where you can then click on the link for Deaths. Also you will immediately notice the Valentine's Deco on Home page :-) You will find, if you are not familiar with my Web pages, that I like to decorate for Holidays! Hope you enjoy it. Needs some work, so might change in the next few hours.

Hi, On Morgan Area Genealogical Society Page (MAGA) "Researching Your Roots in West Central IL", we have: Uploaded Surnames T-U for File#1, Morgan Co. Death records. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/index.html Also, uploaded the beginnngs of File#2, Morgan Co. Death records, surnames beginning with A. These files are large and will take me much longer to get these online. Course Shirley is faster than I, so keep watch on this file!! Can access both of these from Homepage link above. Gayle will do Lookups for the 1860 and 1870 Scott Co Census.

Update on Morgan County IL Death Record, File #1: Surnames N thru R are now online. Link from the Morgan Area Genealogical Association home page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/index.html or Death Index page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/mcdeaths.html Keep in mind, these death records are only a "drop in the bucket"...there are many more coming in File#2 in case you do not find a known ancestor. Shirley, Florence & others have contributed many Scott County Cemetery readings to the Scott Co ILGenWeb site. They are now online, thanks to Donna, CC of Scot. I had previously started putting these on the MAGA page but no point in repeating something that is already online, so I will just link you to them: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilscott/cemeteries.htm Link can also be found on the MAGA Home page, link above. Yesterday I thanked the Lady Lookup volunteers, today I stand corrected on one of them. He isn't a lady :-) Nolan Lee Welch is doing Lookups for Scott County resources, including Census and Marriages. Sorry about that Lee! http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/lookups.html- MAGA Lookup Page Thank you Phillip for the kind words on the Scott Mailing List!

N. Lee Welch will do Lookups for the 1840 Scott Co IL Index; 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 Scott Co IL Census. Same applies here on one request at a time please. Don't want to burn these ladies out when they want to help so badly :-) LookUps page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/lookups.html More tomorrow, hopefully, so check back often.

Hi again! New Death Records online MAGA Web page for surnames "L" and "Ma-Mas". Go to Home page or Index page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/index.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/mcdeaths.html Also, Gayle Swiok has volunteered to do Lookups from the 1870 Sangamon County IL Census by Gochanour. Find this on the Lookup page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/lookups.html If anyone has any publications that aren't copyrighted and would be willing to do Lookups, please contact me. This would cover any of the West Central IL Counties. I have written permission from Eileen Gochanour to use any of her publications for Lookups. Eileen published many resources for Sangamon, Morgan, Scott and some for Menard & Macoupin Counties. Thanks for any volunteers.

Chuck, I goofed. The fee for land records is $.50 / page not $1.00 / page.

Hi Chuck, The copies of marriage records are $7.00 each and the correct address is: Morgan County Courthouse County Clerk's Office P.O. Box 1387 Jacksonville, Illinois 62651 If you want to obtain copies of land records the fee is $1.00 per page so include a few extra dollars and they will send the records together. They will refund any extra money if the land records are not found. I just received the records of my gg grandparents. Jan [email protected] wrote:

Thanks for the information Jan. Chuck

Hi, My Great Grandparents, Solomon Potter and Violet Forbes Alcorn were married in Morgan county on 08/13/1868. Does anyone have any information on them? I would also like to know how much to send to the county when I request a copy of the marriage record. Thanks Chuck
