Hi Kim, I'm interested in what you have for ALLEN in Buffalo Twp. I'm also interested in BLACKMAN in White Rock Twp. You've already successfully helped me with other family members in Flagg Twp. You are great to help so many people. Mary

Alice- It was my pleasure in sending the information....I do not live in Mt Morris and cannot help you in that matter. If there is anyone who would like a lookup I would be more than happy to do so. I only have a section of the book.....(the section that has biographies) The History of Ogle County Illinois...Portraits of early settlers and prominent men..1878... if you know the township please let me know that as there is no index to the book and I have to go thru each township individually. -Kim (Timmons) Taft BLAKESLEE COY FEARY HARDESTY KELLER MACKENIZE TAFT WAHL WIENAND In a message dated 98-10-12 11:16:04 EDT, you write: << Special thanks to Kim Taft for the information from History of Ogle County.

I understand the volumes are stored in the basement and are heavy. Any volunteers? >>

http://www.outfitters.com/illinois/history/civil/cw74.html You might want to look at this site. There is also a guy named Daron Walker who is from Rockford and now edits for a newspaper in Springfield who may have some info. He is collecting information re: one of the Rockford regiments that I was looking at. Unfortunately I lost his EM addy when our computer went down in the Spring. Perhaps someone else online knows him and will send it. I would like to stay in contact with him because he is researching for a book about the regiment my GGrandfather was in.

I believe that last week I saw that the 1860 Flagg or Rochelle census is now online but I deleted the message before I printed it or got the address. Does anyone know if the 1860 census for Flagg or Rochelle in Ogle Co. is now online? Thanks in advance Mary Allen

Hi Came across an old query of yours....I don't know of anything that is for sale but I came across a book from the library titled History of Ogle Co Illinois...portraits of early settlers and prominent men...1878.. if you want a lookup I can check the book for you...it is not indexed so if you have the township it would make it easier. -Kim (Timmons) Taft In a message dated 98-07-16 06:51:53 EDT, you write: << Is there a list of genealogy books, fiche, etc. that the local society sells? I am interested in township histories and indexes of records. researching BALLARD in Ogle Co. (1850's-1900) thanks DLBollert >>

Sue- If you know the township they lived in I can look up the name in a book I found at the library....it is not indexed so I have to check each township individually. I came across your query and thought if you are still looking for info the name might be in the book. If you don't know the township, I can check anyway..it won't take that long. Do you have a first name for them ? The book is called History of Ogle County,Illinois..portraits of early settlers and prominent men..1878.... -Kim (Timmons) Taft In a message dated 98-07-18 11:34:51 EDT, you write: << I have been reading the list for some time now and wonder if any of you happen to remember coming across any Norton family in the late 1860s or early 70s? If you happen to remember even seeing that name it would encourage me. Thanks Sue >>

Hi Did you ever find the info that you were looking for? There is a book called History of Ogle County Illinois..portraits of early settlers and prominent men..1878.. if you are still seeking info and have not seen this book, I can try to get it from the library again and photocopy whatever they have on this company. Let me know..... -Kim (Timmons) Taft p.s.- Have I already written to you about FRANK B BENNETT ? I can't remember ?

Hi I have a photo of Manning Garage in Rochelle IL. By the cars in the photo I am guessing it is around 1920-30 time period. Does anyone know anything about this garage--location, still exist, owners? The person who I got the photo from and myself have Manning connection and are looking for more. Thanks. Debra Bailey Trail
