I used the death index in a search of surnames from aa to zz with a given name of Dorothy and found it worked well. I did find however that in going from a Statewide search to St Clair or vise-versa I had to always hit RESET and reenter the names. Small price to pay for such a wonderful data, congratulations to everyone who made this possible. And, in my search I did find my aunt who I had just about given up on.

I had the same experience with the global search. It came back with "no data", even for people I have found in the marriage and death index.

Looking for more information or I am willing to share the information which I already have on the following families Mueller Battoe Harris Thank you, Denise
When you input a surname in the box, did you put a comma after it? I followed that instruction and experienced no problem. > > > Subject: [ILSTCLAI] Caution re: Ill Death Index and Global Search > Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 07:25:26 -0500 > From: "Charles T.

Be careful about using the "Global Database Search" feature on the Illinois State Archives Online Databases. My search in the Statewide Death Index reveals ancestors, but doing a global search on all databases does not return any of them who are on the Statewide Death Index. =================================== Outgoing mail scanned with Norton Antivirus. =================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 3:00 AM Subject: ILSTCLAI-D Digest V02 #91

I tried to access the Thrall/Flint/James family letters, and this is the message I got on my screen: The requested URL /~robinsgenealogypage/letters was not found on this server. Is there another address? I am very interested in those letters because my gggrandfather was a Methodist minister in the same area in IL at the same time, and I am hoping there might be a refererence to him and his family. Thanks for your help. Susan in Pa [email protected]
Susan, I think the problem you are having in reaching this web site is that the hyper link URL didnot come across on one line in the origingal message so when you try to link, the address isn't recognized. The letters "age" were on a second line. When I added those letters to the URL, the page came up Good Luck Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan G.

I have transcribed 78 letters handwritten by my great-grandparents Rev. Leonidas Worthy Thrall (Methodist), his wife Edith Flint Thrall, and some of their relatives between 1870 and 1898. Theyre really more family history than genealogy, but they contain many genealogical clues. Since Leonidas and Edith moved frequently from one pastorate to another, usually in southern Illinois but once to Kansas, they knew a lot of people and many are mentioned briefly in the letters. They both graduated from McKendree College and often lived in or visited Lebanon, so St. Clair County, Illinois, was more their home than anywhere else. But their acquaintance ranged as far south as Metropolis (Massac County) and as far east as Bone Gap (Edwards County). My daughter has posted the name, place, and topic index to these letters at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~robinsgenealogyp age/ If you see something of potential interest in the index, Ill be happy to respond to queries about it. (Please look there first!!) I know how important a seemingly tiny clue can be sometimes. Please feel free to forward this to other appropriate lists, as Im a little unsure where seekers are most likely to find it.

Don't know if this ties into your line, but there is a Wiliam WOODS , age 40 (in the 1860 census) , Mary, age 40, and an Albert DUNLAP, age 13 living with them. years are a bit off, though, for what you had........
Sorry -- I somehow totally messed up on the dates for William WOODS. He was born around 1810 and died 28 Apr 1866. Who was he? Debbie Vietzke
Dear Group, (I believe I have written before explaining my search for the ancestor of Haynes T. WOODS (AKA Haynes P. WOODS) b. circa 1832 in St. Clair County, IL (SCI). He married Elizabeth J. ROBERTSON (AKA Elizabeth J. STARR) in SCI in December 1852 and they had at least 4 children together - Albert Badgley WOODS, b. 13 Oct 1855 in SCI, being my great-grandfather, as well as Alice V. WOODS, a younger sister.) ANYWAY, while sifting through some scraps of paper upon which I had copied names out of my grandma's family Bible many years ago, I found the name "William Woods, b. 1810, died 4-28-1866 " He is listed on my piece of paper under "Brothers and sisters of Albert Woods" but, I find it hard to believe that he would be a sibling if he was born in 1810, and Albert born in 1855. Either someone wrote it in the wrong place in the Bible (of which I am not sure of the location now) or I copied it wrong. Either way, who is William Woods and maybe he could be the father of Albert instead??? Thanks, Debbie Vietzke
You might try: City directories 1910 - 1920, East St. Louis and St. Louis located at the Belleville and St. Louis Public libraries respectively.
I am desperately searching for Isaac N. BOSTWICK and Emma K. KINNEY BOSTWICK. They were in East Saint Louis in the 1910 census, but I can't seem to find them in 1920. There are some BOSTWICKs in the Eydman Cemetery, but the SCCGS hasn't inventoried this cemetery. Any help with this line would be greatly appreciated.

John, The Order of the Eastern Star and the White Shrine of Jerusalem are both Masonic Affiliated Organizations. These two organizations are composed of both men and women. To obtain information on the individual members you will have to obtain the address of the Secretary of each of these organizations at the State Level, i.e. if they were members in Illinois then you will have to search the web for the Illinois Masonic Organizations, there should be a link to the individual addresses of the various Secretaries at the State level.

Gundlach Funeral Home was located on East "A" and N. High streets. I tried to locate the Gundlach Funeral home records twice in the past several years without luck, they are not with any current Belleville funeral home. The thing that needs to be done I suppose it to track the family and see if descendants kept any of the records. This would be a good project for someone! Sometimes funeral home bills are included in a person's estate papers. This is about all you would find in company files from the early 1900s and prior anyway. This varies as always--I've seen the Sedlack funeral home ( East St. Louis) company book at the Belleville Library that recorded address and place of birth and a few more tidbits--all abstracted onto 3x5 cards in the library [their research policy is here - a quick lookup in this file can be done by phone http://www.compu-type.net/rengen/stclair/BPL.htm ] Diane
The Rebekah Lodge was the female counterpart to the IOOF organization. I suppose it was for the wives of members. I apologize for not knowing any more but if you plug in IOOF (International Order of Odd Fellows) you will probably be able to find more information. Rebekah might work as well. Good luck. Gloria

Might I suggest that you try using a major search engine, such as www.google.com to answer some of your questions on fairly well known organizations such as the Order of the Eastern Star, Pythian Sisters, etc. If you construct your search criteria fairly carefully, you can find a wealth of information - much of it relevant to your queries.
