Thanks Bryn, I don't even know if my guy was in Ogle Co. in 1870, he enlisted in the Civil War from there, but by 1880 was in MO, so I may just be spinning my wheels. But it's so frustrating not to be able to read it and know one way or the other. Jeannie ---Brian Hulleberg wrote: > > Jeannie, > > I have tried both, and it is just too wipped out either way.
