For now I need to put a hold on the IL Archives Death index, many wrote me, and The state has written back but it is a one person job at present. Then way it was worded at first I was hoping that more could be involved, but the Archives person had written me without being at the archives to actually know the format-- due to the holiday weekend. So the death index for 1878-1916 will slowly come one line in the months ahead. Thanks again, Laurie Hendrickson
