Pat, Up to tonight I haven't sent anything to this list. I have noticed how much help has been given over the MONTHS I have been just a reader. Such short memories. Since when does any list offer nothing but items that interest only you?

I am going to be updating the surnames, etc on the Pike Co ILGenWeb site Saturday evening. If you have any updates, additions, corrections or suggestions for the site (such as a new email address, a site we should link to, pictures to add, etc.) please let me know asap so I can get it all done at the same time. I have quite a few in my inbox so those that have sent me their updates in the last week or so - please do not resend - it will only serve to confuse me ;-) Volunteers Needed!! I need volunteers to transcribe some newspaper copies for the site. I have copied several years of "Delinquent Tax Lists" from the mid 1800's for Pike Co. The copies I have are not the best and the print is small however, if you are willing to help please let me know and I will snail mail you copies. Knowledge of HTML is not necessary for this project. Also, someone volunteered to help me move the obituaries to the GenConnect Obit board and I cannot find your name/email again. If you are still willing to help with this please contact me again. Last item I need a volunteer for! I could really use someone who can help me verify the email addresses on the surname and archived queries pages. For this you will need to be willing to send emails to a lot of individuals and notify me if any "bounce" so I can clear out the invalid entries. Again, please contact me if you are willing to help with this. "New Pike Co. Il Queries Post" - As I am sure all have noticed you are now seeing these posts on the ILPIKE mail list. These are posts made to the Pike Co IL GenConnect boards - usually by individuals who are not on the ILPIKE mail list. I set the ILPIKE list to receive notification when a new post has been made in the hopes that a few more connections can be made that otherwise may have been overlooked. Also - each post indicates that if you wish to unsubscribe from the notifications that you need to go to a particular URL. Please note that this will not work as the message is being sent to the ILPIKE mail list and as long as you are a subscriber to the mail list you will receive notification of new GenConnect posts. Whew - that was a lot and I thank you for taking the time to read it all - assuming you got this far! Have a wonderful weekend, Barbara Freeman Pike Co ILGenWeb County Coordinator

I have been on this list and others it seems that when there is something on the lists that others dis approve of the people that disapprove take up more time than the orginial message . I have read nothing but pardon me (gripes) FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS enough is enough A faithful list member Connie

Tudie, Bob & others interested in French surname in IL Have been reading your French posts. I also have French ancestors in IL, Marion Co. beginning abt 1838. They are from TN. Noticed that some of your French names persons were born or came from OH. While searching recently the 1850 Marion Co IL census, a Margaret and a Stratton French were found in Marion. I cannot connect these two to my TN line. Know of any connections? Marion Co IL 1850 page 65 915 945 Margaret French 59 VA Amanda 22 OH Henry 19 OH Eliza 19 OH 921 948 Stratton French 23 OH Elizabeth 26 (IA or IN?) probably a Butler Thomas 1 IL in Perry Co IL 1850 Richard French 33 PA Mahalia 26 OH Moses 6 OH Samuel 3 OH Laben 1 OH
