Hi - It's in Carmi. We're not open regular hours -- at least not until we get these files organized, and have more books. The Mary Smith Fay Genealogy Library, at 121 N. Church St., (Carmi) IS open Tuesday-Friday, 11:30 to 5:30, however. And the County courthouse (also Carmi) is open from 8 to 4, M-F. Hope that helps!

Pat and Pat: If you are going to be researching a Grayville person make sure you go to the Grayville public library, and you might also want to do some checking in Edwards and Wabash County, since Grayville is on the edge of the three counties. You can get their phone numbers at the county website, www.rootsweb.com/~ilwhite2 . The genealogy library in Carmi has a lot of information on White, as well as the surrounding counties, and surname files. It is only open to 4:30 pm, while the Carmi public library, which has some good books but not a lot of organization, is open to 8 pm Monday-Thursday, with earlier closing on Friday and Saturday. If you have any questions about what might and might not be available for checking someone born in 1843, please ask, to make your time in the county most useful.
