Surnames: Lauderdale, Grisham, Moyers, Chambliss Related names: Austin, Sistler, Walters, Robinson, Whiteside, Shufflebarger (any spelling). Also have Barnhill, Glass, Brush, Hannah, and just about any other name in Pope county. The census books have been reprinted and are available from the Southern Illinois Genealogy Society. I can't find what I did with the URL and can't get into Google (or anything else for that matter) to get it for you. A good place to look for current obituaries for southern Illinois is www.semissourian.com For all online newspapers try www.onlinenewspapers.com Susan
