Hi Bettye Was wondering if these lists have archives or any websites? Thanks Cris Atwater California

Do you know when they married? Where were the children born? There's a Charles Lytle living as a boarder in the 1920 census in Cook County, Illinois. You'd only be able to go to 1930 as far as these records are concerned. There's an entry at familysearch.com for him, entered after 1991 by a member of the Church but no source is given, unfortunately. This is the entry: Charles E. Lytle, born 1915 in Lawrence, Illinois Father: Charles E. Lytle Mother: Cora L. Williams married: Doris Simons (born 1918) on 21 January, 1936 in Vincennes, Indiana Hopefully, this will get you started. Joan in Illinois

Charles Lytle born 7 july of 1900 and died april of 1956. His soc sec # of 323-28-6533 was issued in Illinois before 1951. Please note if you don't know his parents you can send to the social security administration, they have a form online, and get a copy of his application for an ss#. It is $27 but well worth the familly information on it. Be sure to tell your friend to read the rules before she sends it in. It is under the freedom of information act. The name of Lytle is very common. I will email you at home for more info. regards in genealogy , md in calif.

What a coincidence. I am leaving in 1/2 hour to go to a wedding anniversary of a William Roessler. I don't know much about his family, but he is married to my Schlutz family. Don't know if he is from Chicago, but I know my family is from the area. When I return on Sunday I will share with you what I know and give you names and addresses. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dave4090@hotmail.com> To: <ILROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 5:38 AM Subject: [ILROOTS] Benkendorf / Roessler > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Benkendorf, Roessler, Clark, Kirby > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fh.2ADI/5944 > > Message Board Post: > > Seeking any information Benkendorf or Roessler families from Chicago > Illinois.

Bettye, You may be right, but when I google "Washington State Vital Records" I get lots of hits which LOOK like official state records. When I open them, however, they really are Ancestry sites. I'm not responding to an ad, but I get Ancestry. Others on the list have responded to me with websites which give me small pieces of Wash. data, like Walla Walla's death index for 1903-1906. Or the 1910 federal census index (no images). This is piecemeal data, not anything like IRAD. The state's official site touts the fact that they are the first in the world to go digital with their records. Big deal, if there's too little there to be useful. You still have to know the date of an event to get a record, and there's no general index to let you search for a date. If you can suggest something specific that works better than what I'm doing, I would be most grateful. I have used the Ancestry boards, but haven't found much response when I only know that the family was in the state. I ! admit I haven't used it for these Washington families, and I'll go do that before I give up on them. It doesn't seem reasonable that I should be able easily to get 17th c. data from NY but not 20th c. data from WA! Thanks, Doris -- BHold1@aol.com wrote: I'd be interested in others you have, as doing a google search gives many, many hits, but almost all of them boil down to Ancestry, which I don't have I bet you are responding to a surname search advertisement that shows up on a lot of sites, because I use Google on a regular basis and never end up on Ancestry.com.
