Time to toot my own horn.................. Russell, Since I joined this list, one short year ago, .....I have done all the census' for each member here that needed a look-up, 1860-1870-1880. Compiled them all and sent them all out snail mail. (ask me if that wasn't a big job!!!!!) I have trotted my little self out and spoke in front of the Cemetery Care Hearings with the State Comptroller, 2 Representatives, and a Senator (Did I do good??? YOU BETCHA!!!!) I have wrote, yelled, cajoled and practically worked myself into a frenzy with my letter writting and phone calls to the Senators, Representatives, IRAD etc. for something to be done about the violations that Washington County has done in the past as far as the Freedom of Information Act. That got me the Probate Index, which is where you will find all the wills, estates, bastardys (my personal favorite), insanity's (and there were alot of them) etc. 2 weeks ago, I had film developed and scanned all the tombstone pix that are now on Wayne Hinton's Web Page for the Kinyon Cemetery. Just yesterday, Ann and I took all the pic's of Rountree Cemetery (was it cold? ........GOOD GOD YES!!!!!) Will I do more, probably...........I am going to do Taylor Cemetery for Beryl Durbin, I am also going to do poor Logan/Flannagan Cemetery (coz I like dat poke weed)......... Now.....If you want to do something I say "go for it"....."do it"..... The 1860, 1870 and the 1880 census has been transcribed. You can type 135 WPM.....Do them.....(dats a great idear) My little fingers are almost stubs....(dat's from rubbing all dem loverly tombstones)........ Well enough of that.....gotta put some bag balm on my lips.....(dey is chapped all to hell)......... Marci ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell D.

I will try and answer this as well as I know how. There are no more "1st" papers boxes listed in the probate index that I have(Wayne Hinton, and Delores have a copy also)(One has even been copied and sent to IRAD). It is the index "prior to 1910". Naturalization came after the immigrant was in the states for 5 years. They could not naturalize before that. So if you have an aprox date of immigration then add 5 to that...should give you the aprox date of naturalization. Something to think about though is the fact that the children of the immigrant who were born here were automatically citizens. Some of the immigrants never did naturalize. I have posted to the list the box numbers of the naturalizations twice, if I need to do it again, let me know. :-) As far as Washington County doing look-ups.....they do not. But it never hurt to ask again. Like the wind, attitudes can change. The Circuit Clerk's office is understaffed, and I don't think that genealogy is high on their list of priorities. :-/ Marci ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell D.

OK Marci needs another pat on the back to remind her just how much we appericate her. And thats for real. We realy doooooooo!!!! Thank ya Marci Tammy

Russell, Who are you looking for? I have access to all these census records. How patient are you? I am like snow'd in in Northwest Indiana Lots & Lots of lake effect snow, but if you can wait till next week I can run over to Valpo library and do a look up or 2 for you. Tammy

I am a little disappointed....Ann called and requested the box for first papers, and there were only 5. Sorry, but here are the ones listed: (they were hard to read so some of the spelling may be messed up) 1st Papers Box 114 Probate Washington County: Name Renouncing Date Filed Frederick Lange Emperor of Germany 1 Apr 1873 John Reihl Emperor of Germany 29 Oct 1873 Henry Nienober King of Prussia 17 Nov 1873 Christ Hohennann Emperor of Germany 1 Nov 1873 Frederick Denilteman King of Prussia 7 Dec 1866 Marci

Ok, I'm going to take a stab here, without looking at a map or my notes, and ask this list if anyone knows if the Marissa Historical Society has a webpage. I hope I have the right county, heehee. Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

I guess this is my night to write this wonderful list. Hope I have not bored you thus far. :) I offered to take on a project today and thought I might pass the idea on to other Washington County researchers. Here is my logic: 1. I type 135+ words per minute 2. I have some free time on my hands, a few hours each week. 3. St. Libory had its parish records (baptisms, marriages, deaths, burials) transcribed by a nice lady in St. Clair County. 4. I have ancestral ties (and current relations) to St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Lively Grove. 5. No one has transcribed the records of St. Anthony's thus far, except my wonderful calabash (genealogy word of the day) Ric Nold, who did the cemetery transcriptions. 6. I need baptismal, confirmation, marriage, and death records for the parish. Therefore, I will offer to transcribe, put on disk, and print a hardcopy of the baptismal records of St. Anthony's and then when that is finished, will offer to do the others. Well, folks, let's all pray that they say yes and will let me do it. I have adopted St. Anthony's. What will each of you adopt, individually or in groups? Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

Before I go and order the microfilm for the census(es?) of Washington County 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920, could anyone maybe save me the trouble and let me know if any of these has been previously transcribed and is in book form, on CD, or in someone's collection of genealogy papers? Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

Some nice person gave me an address some time ago for a Washington County Historical Society, which he/she said was near defunct. Does anyone have information on this organization?? Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

Are there more first papers boxes? If so, what might they contain and where does one get a list? Is this the list you gave us some time ago, Marci? Will they tell us over the phone or via letter how many papers are in the box? Russell Russell D. James Delta, Colorado [email protected]

Hello, Cousins. Looking for information on Bert R. FLANNIGAN (all spellings) and wife, Lucille M. McKENZIE, Bert, b. 1893, Jeff. CO., IL. Lucille, b. 1897, in Ashley, W.C.I.
