I am looking for information on Rev. Henry W. WILLMORE of Perry Co, born in Hickman Cty, TN. Henry married Harriet E. ADKINS May 25, 1862 in Perry Cty. Census records indicate that Harriet was born in IL and was 15 when she married Henry. During the Civil War, Henry served in Company D, the 110th Infantry. Henry settled in Spring Garden, Jefferson Cty after the Civil War. Both Harriet and Henry are buried there. Harriet and Henry are my gggrandparents. I will gladly share any WILLMORE/ADKINS info. that I have. Happy hunting! Kay M.

Thanks to all the folks who responded to my queiry. There were at least half a dozen, all with helpful advice. Looks like we will be spending some time at the library in Du Quoin, just like the good old days. Maybe we will see some of you there. Speaking of the good old days, hey Tim. Becky Finney Smith

Word of warning. I have split up the indexed surname pages so that hopefully they will load faster. If there is any problem and refresh/reload won't fix it let me know. Terasa

Hi List, Anyone doing the Poston family of the 1800s? Nancy Helvey

I plan to be in Du Quoin to do some research in a couple of weeks and need some advice concerning the local papers in 1921. I will be looking for an obituary for someone from around Tamaroa who died that year. Would the Du Quoin Call be the place to look or were there others back then? Are back issues archived at the newspaper office or the library? Becky Finney Smith

Although it is no longer on most calendars, today is the anniversary of the Victory in Europe. Yes this is genealogy related, as many may have grandpa's who were there. If you ask any man or woman who landed at D Day June 6, 1944 and lasted until May 1945 in Berlin, he will tell you that it was 11 months that seemed like all eternity. I mention this as my memorial to the many who did not come home with me. Joe

Hi List, There is Perry CO. IL history book (I have no idea what the name is) that appeared before the last history book (has family histories, etc.). I need some information about Rev. Richard G. Davis and I understand that information on his family is in it. His father is suppose to be Isham Davis. Thanks, Nancy Helvey

An email has been circulating with an attachment that claims to fix the "I Love You" virus. This attachment, named lovecleaner1.vbs, is an exact copy of the "I Love You" virus. If you have received an email with the Subject line "Love-letter-for-you virus FIX" do not run the attached file and delete the message immediately. Good luck

This is a virus warning. I have received it from five different sources so it sounds sincere and severe. This copy came from my sister and was signed by her so I don't doubt it. T *snip* I was just sent an e-mail entitled I LOVE YOU.....DO NOT Open it...It is a virus that will eat all your files and send the virus to everyone in your address book. DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. I deleted it the minute I found out I just don't know if I caught it soon enough.

I received this e-mail from Michael Maresca this morning. It seems he's been adopted and looking for his birth mother. Is there some out there that knows anything about the information he's provided and can help him?
