I just returned from my research visit to Illinois and want to express my thanks to everyone in the Morgan Co. area for all the help and to congratulate them for having such a good collection of information at the Genealogical Society. The ladies in the courthouse were super, too. I was able to gather up a lot of data on my Jackson family, including a copy of my ggf's naturalization certificate, and it was my first time accessing wills and probate documents . I got a lot of great information about names and family data that way. Thanks to the website the job was made easier by all the on-line information. I had theprobae number before going to the courthouse and it just took a second for them to locate what I needed. We visited family graves in Murrayville and Nortonville also located by the website. The biggest problem was not having an actual map of the areas and we got really lost on some of those backroads! Fortunately folks back there were so nice and helped us find out way around. To those others of you researching the Jackson bunch, I was completely unable to discover if my ggf William Proctor Jackson came with any other relatives or if there were some present before he arrived from England. I was able to locate most of his children, which was good because now I have an idea of where they were. As for the Browns, boy I don't think I will ever figure that out. I found no death certificates for them and so have no other clue than that my ggm's mother was Catharine Brown. A real brick wall! Thanks to you all, Carol Dugger Napa, CA
