Hi, I am new the list and have just found a family story that my PEPPER ancestors may have spent 3 years in Brimfield, Illinois from about 1876 to 1880(?). they emmigrated from England, to Chatham, Ontario, Canada and then to Illinois and then back to Chatham, Ontario. Can SKS give me some advice on how I may go about verifying if this family was ever in Brimfield. I do not know if this family would have been there for the 1880 census. I would suspect that they probably worked as farm laborers. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks Alex Maxwell Chetwynd, BC Canada
