Hi everyone, Is there anyone who would like to try their hand at writing a "how-to" article on genealogical research? I would like to add a page to the Schuyler site which would include all the pertinent links and articles for genealogical research, and think a "how-to" article, specifically designed with Schuyler County in mind, would be a great addition. If you haven't visited the Schuyler County ILgenWeb site in awhile, there are quite a few changes. The first book of Birth Records is complete, and I've started adding Death Records from 1877. The search engine was just updated - thank goodness! The company has just redesigned it so one can upload without tying up the computer for hours to upload. We will update the search engine more often now. As always, we need your input...not only for ideas of what you would like to see on the page..more history?...more lists?...more links?...but also your contributions of family lines, obits, marriages, etc. For those of you who don't know, I've also volunteered as coordinator for the McDonough ILGenWeb site, and have been busy working on getting township and church histories online. Many Schuyler families are mentioned in the histories, so you might want to check them out. Unfortunately, McDonough, being young, doesn't have a search engine yet! Take care everyone...
