This was in the IL Rootsweb list of Mailing lists that I found while contacting someone to help spread the word about the House Cemetery Bill. Delores SOIL. A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in Southern Illinois, from an east-west line running through St. Louis. The families of southern Illinois were "clanish", and liked to move to another county following every birth or death in the family. You must be a subscriber to post to the list. To subscribe send the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) as the only text in the body of a message to [email protected] (mail mode) or [email protected] (digest mode).

Would like to hear from anyone with knowlege on the Guillemet/Guillemot surname - 1870 - 1916 Thanks

Anyone has rights to these books the link below has great ways at low cost in repulbishing books. http://www.iuniverse.com/publish/ . I have been communicating with them and have talked with folks at some of the major bookstores. Thought I would pass this on with all the talk of out of print books and stuff. Wil

Okay, I goofed! I never wrote down either the address for the Washington phone book people or the Washington vital records courthouse place. Anyone kind enough to help, please do. :) Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

Cousin, you asked how "Taylor could be bought". If the Taylor family didn't set the family cemetery land aside when they sold the farm, it is a part of the land and not, by law, a cemetery. That has happened to so many family cemeteries.

Has anyone seen this book offered by the Marissa Historical Society on the cemeteries of Washington County. What exactly does it have in it? I want to order it, but I'm not shelling out that much money for just a listing of the cemeteries and where they are. Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

hey, now that I know that they do offer death certificate photocopies stamped with "for genealogical purposes only" for $1, I'm still waiting to hear if anyone knows if they are offered to those who write in or only to those who walk in the door. I called the office to talk about them, but they were very un-informative and downright rude and, sadly, did not answer any of my questions. :( Russell Russell D.

FORWARD: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >From today's Chicago Tribune online (www.chicagotribune.com) there is a story about what the Illinois legislature is doing. Down towards the end of the story is this paragraph: "Cemeteries: A sweeping cemetery reform bill approved by the House Constitutional Officers Committee would set up a special fund to preserve abandoned cemeteries." I checked the state legislature's site. It appears that (House Bill) HB3988 is the bill the newspaper mentioned. The synopsis is as follows: Amends the State Comptroller Act, the State Finance Act, the Grave and Cemetery Restoration Act, the Township Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the Illinois Funeral or Burial Funds Act, the Cemetery Care Act, the Cemetery Protection Act, and the Illinois Pre-Need Cemetery Sales Act concerning cemeteries and burial services. Creates the Cemetery Preservation Fund and designates its sources of income. Authorizes the State Comptroller to appoint a Cemetery Preservation Advisory Board to advise the Comptroller about using funds from the Cemetery Preservation Fund. Authorizes counties, townships, and municipalities to preserve abandoned cemeteries. Makes numerous changes regarding: maintenance and operation of cemeteries; licensing of individuals and entities involved with cemeteries and pre-need contracts; care funds; trust funds; pre-need contract requirements; remedies and penalties for violations; and other matters. Effective January 1, 2000. The main link to the bill is http://imsweb.state.il.us/scripts/imstran.exe?LIBSINCWHB3988 I suggest every one read this legislation. If you agree with it, let your legislators know. (On the other hand, if you don't agree with it, let them know anyway.) Also, if anyone sees anything in the legislation missing, or would somehow mess up existing efforts at cemetery preservation/restoration, now's the time to act.

Hi Jannita, I don't see that anyone has answered yet. A SEP means that the baby was born last September and is therefore less than a year old. Other years' censuses might have written it as 8/12, or whenever the census was taken. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Weidenbach <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, February 08, 2000 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [ILWASHIN] Question on 1880 census?

That probably means it a photo copy instead of having the raised County Seal stamped on it. You really don't need an official one unless you are having to present it as proof, or you just want one.
