Posted on: Sangamon County, Il Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Sangamon?read=1600 Surname: Howard, Shetter, Stanton, Casida, Vincent, Greening, Hansen, Workman ------------------------- Great topic - check with the main branch of your library or with a medical school library. These folks love to help with interesting questions. Also ask your own physician for his/her opinion. Also check in an unabridged dictionary and on the internet. Let us (the readers) know what the terms are and maybe we can answer them, too. I see you have Workman listed as a surname - I have Mason Ramey, Mary Jane Lilly, Elizabeth Higgins, and John Perce family from Sangamon. Any link between Workman and mine?
