Posted on: Sangamon County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Sangamon/11942 Surname: Frame, Brown, Ward ------------------------- If you are looking for Aunts from Scotland in Sangamon Co, Illinois, and they settled there about 1890, I would get the 1900 census soundex for Illinois and find these names. They would be in Thayer, yes ? Or just jump to the full 1900 census for Thayer and go through it line by line. Couldn't be huge yet, and the 1900 census gave the BIRTH year and month, plus the birth state or country of each parent! With luck, the Aunts births are searchable in the Birth Index for Scotland, you have to know the year though. Thus the link to the 1900 census. Another route is to see if they may have had Social Security cards issued. The birthplace and date are noted on them. Copies can be ordered if they are listed on the Social Security Death Index. Go to Ancestry.com. They have it online, link on the homepage.
