I am still working very hard on the new Schroeder-McClure Funeral Home book which will contain all obituary information for all people buried from Schroeder-McClure Funeral Home from 1965 through the present. It is unbelieveable how many names are contained in the book. I am finishing the G's this week. The book contains Name of the deceased, DOB, place of birth & names of parents, DOD & where death occurred, Married to whom, date & place of Marriage, church membership, occupation, Survivors & their place of residence, who preceeded in death, and place of burial. I intend to have an index with all GIVEN names included. Any questions, just ask! Velda Moore

The new book that RCGS is planning about RANDOLPH COUNTY VETERANS needs your input. Don't forget to think about all wars and conflicts in which your relatives might have been soldiers. These include Revolutionary War, Civil War, Spanish American War, WWI, WW2, Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, etc. The form to fill out is found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilrcgs/. Be sure to use the tilde and the last slash. Both are needed to reach this site. Our address is on this page and so is our phone number if you need to call RCGS. You may contact me if you have questions. Velda Wittenbrink Moore

I used the link to go to ~ilrcgs and got the squirrel. Then I typed in the address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilrcgs/ And got the address I wanted right off the bat. Use the last backslash. That should do it. Sorry about all this. Velda

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/og.2ADI/22.48 Message Board Post: Ben Barbeau was born 24 Jan 1833. He died 20 Dec 1901 in Red Bud, IL. Ben was the son of Jean Baptiste Barbeau and Marie Louise Lourvier. Ben had three wives: 1) Felicita HORRELL, born 1837, died 7 Feb 1867 in Prairie du Rocher, IL 1 child - Amadee Barbeau, born 14 Feb 1862 and died 19 Aug 1930 2) Rebecca Brewer, married on 2 June 1872 no children 3) Lucie Doiron, born 26 Oct 1856 in Prairie du Rocher, IL, married 12 Sep 1879 3 children - Daniel, born 14 Jan 1880, died 11 Oct 1956 - Celeste Josephine, born 15 Jul 1882 - Theodore, born 12 Sep 1883 I have no further info on Rebecca. The genealogy of the Barbeau and Doiron families from their entrance into Randolph County, IL to the present are chronicled in "A French Connection II" by Ruth Bienvenu Menard of Red Bud, IL. I believe the cost is ~$50 for a copy of the book.

Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin the complex and time-consuming process of upgrading our servers to new hardware. o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be unavailable during this time unavailable and we are asking for your patience. For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can visit http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses. o List Administrators: When the time comes to move list servers, we will be halting operation on the machine to complete the move. We expect to have the machines down the least amount of time possible. No mail will be sent from or posted to your mailing lists. We do not expect to lose any messages. o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your board happens to be gatewayed to a mailing list then the information for list administrators apply. o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to pages until everything is working correctly on the new servers. There will be a short time that the pages will not be available as the transfer takes place. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a few "growing pains." -- Vicki Lindsay Thauvin RootsWeb Staff
