Lincoln Library (Springfield's public library) has microfilmed issues of the Sangamo Journal (1831-1849), the IL State Journal (formerly known as the Sangamo Journal) 1850-1974; the IL State Register 1831-1974; and the IL State Journal-Register 1974-current. There are a few other Springfield-only newspapers that are also on microfilm at the public library. All these newspapers, as well as over 5000 more newspapers from all over Illinois (on over 80,000 rolls) are also at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library (formerly the holdings of the IL State Historical Library) - also in Springfield. I research at both libraries, in addition to the IL State Archives, on almost a daily basis - so if I could be of any assistance, let me know offlist, ok? more info on my website, given below.

I'm researching my ancestry, which I know is predominantly located in Springfield, Illinois. My father was named David Leo Dressendorfer, and his father was named Leo Bernard Dressendorfer. My father's mother was named Ethel Emily Denton. I don't know if Ethel's last name is her birth name or the name of the husband she had before marrying Leo Bernard Dressendorfer. I have not been able to pin down any other information on my ancestors beyond a few names that my father related to me once about his brother's and sister, all of which were from previous marriages of his mother. Those brothers and sisters are as follows: Tommy, Gus, Leo and Margie. The only one I ever knew was Aunt Margie, who died in Hayward, Wisconsin sometime around 1989-92 timeframe. I am finding more information lately, but if you want to contact me about sharing information between you and me about common ancestry, that would be great. My e-mail address is ! as follows: [email protected] In the subject line of a message to me via e-mail, please site Ancestry Research and i'll know you are seeking me for that.

Hi Annette: I don't have the answers for you but would appreciate it if you could send me the pictures anyway. I have Campbell's in my line that were in Henry, Marshall County, IL and Springfield.

Illinois marriage index online:  Mundy, John and Nye Sara E.  11/9/1868  #00003406 in Sangamon County. Secretary of State Marriage Licenses. Thank You Mangoav, I did have that already but Thanks for your help. I know they had a son J.A. Mundy, born 1874, but I think in Louisiana. That made no sense to me because I believed they stayed in ILL. Her husband died and I believe she married BERNARD DONNELLY but don't know when or where. In 1900 she had Gladys Machette living with them. She was a niece age 13. 1900 ILL-Peoria-2WD-Peoria. Sarah's Mother ANNA NYE died Sept. 15,1883. In the Kansas City Morning Times, it said she was at the home of her son-in-law, Bernard Donnelly. The funeral would take place at their residence, 803 Locust Street and it was Private. Only friends & acquaintances of family invited. The services at the First Presbyterian Church, Grand Ave near Eleventh Street. The pastor was, Mr. D.M.SCHAFF. Is the 803 Locust St. address and the Church address in ILL? I also have a Sarah ANN DonnAlly as dyeing in 1923. F/W unk 0480052 1923-03-04. I have the NYE family back in about 1854 or a little later living in Springfield. These are just bits and pieces that I had from different sources and I put them together but this is ALL I can fine. I would like to get other census, city directory, or any other documented information I can before I send for the certs. I have no idea when Bernard died or if they had any children. Thanks for all your help and time. Millie

Phillip Weaver in Fulton Co. 14 Mar 1847. Mrs. Marian Lee SMITH WEAVER was a widow and had son George F. WEAVER by her husband Phillip WEAVER who died in the cholera epidemic in 1851. She then married Horatio John BENTON 30 May 1853 in Fulton Co. History book says that Marian was the daughter of a General SMITH of Hancock Co. (I have had no luck in finding any General that might fit this family) Mr. BENTON and Marian had Mary Ann who married Elijah Ebenezer HAIR, Charles Edwin who married Jeanette SCOTT, and Laura Alice who married Thomas DEEMS. In 1861 Mr. BENTON was an assessor in Astoria Twp. In 1869 he was the Fulton County Superintendent of Schools. In 1870 & 1880 they lived in Lewistown. In 1888 Marian died of breast cancer and the funeral was officated by J.M.D. DAVIDSON who eventually married Widow Mary Ann BENTON HAIR daughter of Mr. & Mrs. BENTON. Mr. BENTON died at age 70, 7 Sep 1889 in the home of his daughter Mrs. Alice DEEMS. Mr. BENTON was a Mason & Odd Fellow. I am a descendant of Mary Ann & Elijah! HAIR. Marian Lee SMITH'S parents are eluding me. Really would like some help on SMITH. Her obituary mentioned a brother Stephen P. SMITH. On the 1830 census I found some SMITHs that had daughters under 5: Adam, Jacob, Charles, William, Thomas Jr., Richard, and a Sarah. Perhaps someone has already done the research on these Smith's and I could illiminate some of them. Just hoping.

Hello, I am hoping someone will be able to help me fit my pieces together. I am looking for the James Nye family. The only real things I find have nothing to do with my line of that family, even when some of the names dates and locations seem to be the same. There is another Nye family. I have James and Anna Nye married in Ohio but moved to Sangam,ILL. They may have already had one child, Sarah born about 1848 in Ohio. The others should have been born between 1857-1864. Their names are : Edith Frances b: 1854 (Jan 8) Mary b: 1856 James b: 1857 Ella b: 1860 William b: 1861 Agnes b: 1862 Jefferson D. b: 1864 Later in life Sarah married a John Mundy that also seems to be from there. They may have married about 11/9/1868. I do know by 1870 the Nye family was in Jackson Co;MO. Thanks for your time and help. Millie
