Thanks for the quick response! My wife's gg grandmother was Caroline Lena Fasse. From what I understand, she immigrated from Germany with a sister and two brothers. I am pretty sure that Gustav and Frederick are the two brothers. Caroline married Frederick Bluhm in 1896 and moved to KS and then on to OK where she died in the early 1900's before good records were kept. According to the 1920 census, Gustav and Frederick were naturalized citizens between 1888-1890, so I was hoping someone might have those papers which could tell me more information on Caroline's family. Anything you can provide will be appreciated. I will be happy to share what information I have on Caroline Fasse Bluhm if you are interested.

Thanks for the quick response! My wife's gg grandmother was Caroline Lena Fasse, who according to what I have been able to find, immigrated from Germany with a sister and two brothers sometime between 1880-1890. She married Frederick Blumn and they moved to KS and then on to OK. She died in the early 1900's before good records were kept, so I am trying to find out about her siblings which will hopefully lead me to more family information. I know one of her brothers was Gustav Fasse, and I am assuming since he lived next door to Frederick Fasse in 1920, that he must be the other brother. They lived in Little Mackinaw township. The 1920 census says they were both naturalized citizens between 1880-1890, so I was hoping to find their papers, but don't know where to look. Any help you can give would be appreciated. If interested, I will be happy to share the info I have on Caroline Lena Fasse Bluhm.

Looking for information on Frederick and Gustav FASSE who lived in Tazewell County in the early 1900's. They are listed on the 1910 and 1920 censuses. Barry Fox SC

Can someone tell me how I would go about getting a copy of a naturalization record for someone who lived in Tazewell County? According to the 1920 census, they were naturalized in the 1888-1890 time frame. Thanks. Barry Fox SC

I found this listing in the Family History Library Catalog. Note that the publisher is the Illinois State Archives. Perhaps this is what they use when you request information from the state census records. If you are missing an ancestor in Illinois early on this should help you. The microfilm, at least at the Family History Library, is sorted by name. You can request microfilm at your Family History Center. "This material indexes the state and federal censuses of 1810, 1818, 1820, 1825, 1830, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855; executive record to 1861; election returns of 1818-1847; House and Senate journals through 1830's; early laws to 1849; and part of the Perrin Collection. Title Name index to early Illinois records Format Manuscript On Film Language English Publication Springfield, Ill. Illinois State Archives 1975 Physical 248 microfilm reels ; 16 mm." To request census information [free by email] from the state archives go to: http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/serv_sta.html#census When I made a request to test it they sent me a copy of the Illinois census page with the ancestor's name so I got several ancestors in one request because they lived in the same area. They do the same on the Civil War roster requests so you end up with all the people in the same part of the alphabet who served in that company. When you are looking at the request form you'll see they also look up death certificates, war records and other items.

This is for information only. It is not an endorsement. I seriously doubt that it will be free. I don't have more information at this time. If your ancestors came through New York after 1851 it might be of use so you might keep your eye out for it.

Cover to cover, every page digitized, every word searchable, even the ads. Of key interest, all of the birth & marriage announcements and obituaries will be instantly retrievable.

This award-winning ProQuestR online information system features a user-friendly interface that allows beginners to pinpoint highly specific information (a photograph of John D. Rockefeller, for instance, or an eyewitness account of McKinley's assassination) or conduct in-depth longitudinal research (on topics like the changing status of African-Americans from antebellum days through the recent past). The interface is familiar to many; it is currently available to millions of higher education, K-12, and public library users globally.

Hello to the list, I'm new to the Tazewell list and already asking for help. I'm hoping to find info on the family of a Rose Nuffer. Rose was born August 01,1856 in " Groveland Township Illinois". Because she was married in Peoria,IL in 1878, I'm assuming that Groveland Township is that of Tazewell County. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, John Murnan

Thank you for your help, sorry I'm alittle behind in reading answering my mail. Diane in Ohio
