Hi! If anyone sees the name Gilyeat or Gilyeart in any of your searches I would appreciat anthing that you find. The specific family would be James Gilyeat or his brother John Gilyeart. Both of Elmwood, IL circa 1860-1880. Thanks, Ian Gilyeat Arizona, USA [email protected]

I have an ALL-NAME INDEX of surnames of people who appeared in early volumes (I - XIII) of Prairie Roots, the publication of the Peoria Genealogical Society. I see mention of Gilyart and Gilzeart in Volume 4. Remember each Volume has 4 issues. These might still be available through the Peoria Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 1489, Peoria, IL 61655-1489, or through a library. Diana [email protected] My Genealogy site updated 8/4/2000: http://www.my-ged.com/davis/
