Classification: Cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vh.2ADE/867 Message Board Post: Historic Atlas Of Illinois Counties (Zones 1-11 complete set) http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/il_map/il_index.html The Zone 1-11 Atlas is a complete set of 1876 Illinois county maps. Each Zone consists of a series of 9 or more bordering county maps making up all 102 Illinois counties. Each Zone Atlas contains high resolution scanned images of vintage 19th century county maps that are presented in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). All (11) individual Illinois Zones also available separately. Each atlas includes the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * racetracks, fairgrounds and picnic groves * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms - and much more The Historic Atlas of Illinois series may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Illinois places and place names. Many 19th century sites no longer appear on contemporary maps and or have been obscured with time. The Historic Atlas Series CD's provide researchers with the means to quickly search 19th century maps when searching for extinct Illinois places. The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas; and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The map data has been created and configured using Adobe Acrobat Reader (6.0) for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be viewed in earlier and the latest versions of the software as well; however, optimum use of the data can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included on this CD. Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. Follow the links below for other Atlas CD's available for the states of IA, IN, KY, MI,MN, OH, PA and WI.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vh.2ADE/861.2 Message Board Post: Have you looked at the Illinois State Archives to look for McGrath names? If not, go to Illinois State Archives, click on the Databases. Scroll through a variety of search possibilities. I limited the name McGrath to just Shelby County. Here are examples of some items I found: Andrew McGrath married Jane Price, 15 Jan. 1873. (In the 1880 census Jane McGrath, age 61, was living with a daughter and son-in-law. Also in the household was Jane's son, Albert Price.) In the Death Records prior to 1916 (which are incomplete) I found that Andrew McGrath died 6 April 1880, in Shelbyville. He was 71 years old. Also in marriages I saw entries for Aquilla, Benjamin F., Joseph, Sarah E. (who married Peter Hager). There are probably others. By going to www.familysearch.org in their 1880 U. S. census search you can enter the surname McGrath in the individual part. List Illinois and Shelby County then search. You will find some McGrath names who were living in other households, as well as those who had their own families. By comparing those names with entries in the Illinois Archives databases you might be able to find more information. For Illinois deaths 1916-1950 I found only 2 McGrath names in Shelby County: a John McGrath and a Margaret McGrath. Death dates were given, but no ages. Since there were only 2 names it would seem to indicate that some of the families must have moved to other areas by around 1916.
