From another list [sorry for duplicates] The following announcement was made by the National Coalition for History (NCH) in NCH WASHINGTON UPDATE (Vol. 12, #21; 4 May 2006). If you want to know more you could try contacting R. Bruce Craig at <rbcraig@HISTORYCOALITION.ORG> ---------- GERMANY AGREES TO OPEN HOLOCAUST FILES Last week, Germany took a major step forward toward opening Nazi era records relating to up to 17.5 million Jews, slave laborers, concentration camp prisoners, and other victims of the Holocaust. Germany pledged to work with the Unites States and other nations to ensure access to some 30 to 50 million documents that are stored in an archives in the German town of Bad Arolsen. Until now, Germany has refused to open the records, citing privacy concerns. Much of the credit in this recent development falls to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. which for nearly two decades has been seeking to pry open the records. As the situation currently stands, some 11 nations jointly oversee the records which for some 60 years have been used nearly exclusively by the International Committee of the Red Cross to help trace missing or dead persons. Reportedly, the Red Cross still gets about 150,000 requests a year. Except for fulfilling those requests, the records have been off limits to historians and the public. Plans now call for eventual digitization of records. Decisions on how best to proceed to open the records will be made during a meeting scheduled for 17 May in Luxembourg. At that time the 1955 treaty regarding the records is expected to be amended.

Hey gang, Just a short reminder to the vets and newbies at this site of my free research for the asking here at Andersonville Civil War Prisoner of War site. There are more than 41000 Union soldiers on record from all states, and 4518 are from Illinois. Please email me directly at Frye@pstel.net with request so we dont tie up the county site.

This is all very interesting. Glad we are talking about this family. I'm descended from Barbara McCaw's sister, Flora, who married Milton Wiley Milligan in Perry County. Barbara married John Brown. Does anyone have any information on their offspring if they had any? Thanks again!

Lee, I think that may be my Elizabeth but I'm unsure and need to find the proof. I'm trying, by process of elimination, to narrow down the possible parents.

Hi folks, I, too, am looking for Browns. This one is John Brown who married Barbara McCaw in Perry County in 1871. I believe his parents were Elizabeth Huggins and William George Brown. Lots of Browns in Perry County. Thanks in advance, Pam Milligan Vaughan

Liberty is a small town not far from Quincy, IL. They had 4 children 3 of whom are living in 1900 they are George M. b. March 1891, Catherine E. b. July 1894, and Fredrick V. b. November 1897. I have no information on the child who died. I have their marriage as around 1890. In the 1900 census they have been married 10 yrs. In the 1920 Census theyare in Belleville, St. Clair Co., IL . Fred is a bartender in his own saloon. In 1930 they live at 212 N. Illinois, Belleville, St. Clair Co., IL. Fred is a Teamster, delivering coal and ice. Sophia was born January 1871, daughter of Michael and Catherine Schumacher. Michael was born about 1827 in Bavaria, Germany. I'm not sure on Catherine's birth, nor her maiden name. She was born about 1834. Catherine died 20 December 1873 in Perry Co., IL. There is a marriage for a Michael Schumacher and Catherine Schmucke 18 September 1851 in St. Clair Co., IL, but I don't know if this is the correct Michael and Catherine or not. I do have Sophia's siblings and their spouses if you are interested. I can be reached at bilpeg@verizon.net Peg Crain Luthy
