I have an Edna Jackson married a Charles Silvio Valerio. Charles was the son of Ignazio Valeriano and Ida Fenoglio-Gaddo. Charles Silvio was my grandfather's brother. He was born in Torino, Reed Township, Will County (not there anymore) February 29, 1908 and died on January 25, 1992. I don't have any information about his wife Edna or her family. I believe they were married in the early 1940's. Let me know if there is a connection. Barry Jernigan, grandson of Leslie Paulino Valerio (b. 1918, Torino, Reed Twp, Will County)

In my posting regarding the Oldendorfs, I listed Anna Oldendorf Martin and Emma Oldendorf Harms. It's the other way around. Anna married Henry Harms and Emma married William Martin. Missy

Thank you in advance. Cheryl C. Rigdon

Found the following in the will county death index(start 1877 to about 1907 that's the part I have. Have only A throughK 1907-1915)It actually goes to 1915 then the state death index takes over) Oldendorf ohlendorf,aug(probably august) age 54 y died 3 jun 1891 in crete buried crete twp ohlendorf,heinrich age 59 y died 25 may 1888 in crete buried crete twp ohlendorf,wilhelmina age 71 y 1m 7d died 23 dec 1906 in crete buried eagle lake cem.,washington twp(check out eagle lake transcriptions on will county website) olendorf,J F(Mr) age 73y 2m 6d died 19 jul 1906 in monee buried crete twp there are lots of ALBERS listed(no clara)in peotone,will twp.,monee and joliet CORDING nothing HARMS listed (no emma)in burial in cook county,green garden,mokena,new lenox,manhattan,hadley MARTIN(no anna) common name listed crete,monne,joliet,wilmington SCHMIDT,(no minnie that's a nickname what was her full given name?)schmid,schmit,shmidt,etc listed peotone,crete,joliet,monee STEUBER no listings info from booklet of transcriptions on peotone area held by the will grundy genealogy society ALBERS,Clara 19 dec 1883 4 oct 1968 CORDING-nothing HARMS-10 listings no emma MARTIN no listings Schmidt,lots of listings under various spellings-lots of women listed only as MRS.

Rich twp in cook county and manteno twp in kankakee twp.

The History of Will County book was published in 1878. The copy I used was at the Minn Hist Society in St. Paul, MN There probably are copies available in the Will-Grundy Counties Genealogical Society Library (which I have never been to). In addition to history, the book has biographies of leading citizens organized by city (Peotone, etc). There is name index that was prepared in the 1970's or so. I trust its data because the biographies are of people who were alive in 1878. Good luck.

While it is a little way away, there are Oldendorfs in Dwight ILL. May not help, but I thought worth mentioning. A Robert Oldendorf still lives there and runs a resturant. Sorry I can't be sure of the spelling and an address as I have not lived in Dwight for abt 45 years. Wayne Reed [email protected]

Hi Carole, Might I suggest that you get a copy of the actual marriage license not just info from the illinois state marriage index? That is if you don't already have it. The actual marriage license might have the bride and groom's parents listed on it.
