I would if some kind soul who has easy access to county records of Rock Island County, either through FHL films or because you frequent the courthouse or the Historical Society, would do a lookup for me. This is a collateral line and there is no rush, but it would pleasure me to confirm these two births, that they took place in RIC. Mary Gertrude Higgins b. 11 Jan 1870 Catherine Higgins, b. 15 Aug 1871 - parents Hugh Higgins and Catherine Ellis, who were married 31 Dec 1868 in Rock Island. The girls are in the 1880, listed as born in IL. Thank you so much. Anne Lamb husband's family: LAMB, SCHAFER, SHEPPARD, GARNETT, BRYAN, HOLSAPPLE of Port Byron, RIC.
