Sany, I've used this and there is some data on line but more importantly I have made some good contacts on this site. I think it's worth checking out.

Hello Fellow Wayne County Researchers - Dianna and I have completed the redesign for our Wayne Co, IL Genealogy website. Thanks for the postiive feedback on the new design. We will continue to try and keep the links on the left side of the page short and alphabetized to make it easy to find information. We have also given you two ways to search the website. You can fill in the box on the top of the left side or you can click on the "search now" link to go to the full page on the right for entering search information as you have been doing in the past. I have also added some new pages to make it easier to find cemeteries and books related to them that Doris Bland has done. Since Doris published her books in the 1970's I am sure some of the information in her books will cover gravestones no longer able to be found or read. I have provided a list that allows you to choose how you want it sorted: by cemetery name, by township name, by Doris's book volume number, or by the map marker number assigned it. I have also included the map to the county for the map marker numbers. Some of you may wonder why the new design. We were finding that some people were having difficulty finding information on the website now that we have so MUCH information. We were also having trouble ourselves keeping up with both websites - ILGenWeb and ILTrails - and decided to go back to just one website for ease in updating. Dianna is busy getting her home ready for sale and her upcoming move to Wayne County so I've been pitching in a little more than usual. I am still mainly focused on the Cemetery project and Photo project. I do have a full time job (including some 12 hour days like today) so my time is limited for adding to the website and I may not always get the information on the website as quickly as you think I should. Please be patient with me and I will get all the information you give me on the site. Thanks to Dianna and her tireless efforts to make Wayne County such a great website! Thanks to all of you for continuing to contribute information to share with everyone with roots in Wayne County. I am very excited about my trip over Labor Day to Wayne County and look forward to meeting some of you in person. As the time draws nearer, I will be trying to organize some walk-throughs of cemeteries. I will be bringing all my gear (digital camera, laptop computer, scanner, etc) to capture all the information I possibly can in one week. I will also be there to attend the Marlow family reunion in Bluford on Sunday before Labor Day. I look forward to your comments on the new design and any suggestions you may have to make our website easier for everyone to use. Some folks that have very old version of Netscape may need to upgrade to a new version. Here's a link where you can go to get the free upgrade to Netscape version 4.79: http://home.netscape.com/download/0314102/10000-en-win32-4.79-complete-128_qual.html Of course, you can also upgrade to the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer as well: Sandy Bauer
