Hello List :) First, Kathy ... THANKYOU for finding this for me ... I am going to retrace your steps today .. I have been up on the Illinois State Archive page, but I hadn't had a chance going through the Will County Cemetery listing yet. That Elizabeth and Michael have to be my great-great-grandparents :) :) :) :) :) I do have the civil war pension file on William, but it didn't give hardly anything on his parents or immigration. I didn't get the military file ... are you suggesting that I also get that? Thank you again so veryyyyyyyyyy much :) Lori At 02:48 AM 2/1/00 -0800, [email protected] wrote: >Hello! > >I am researching the surname of Manning in Will Co., 1856-1900 in >Channahon, Will Co., Illinois >Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2000 11:17:32 -0600 >From: "zavada" <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Message-ID: <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [ILWILL-L] Manning - Will Co - 1856 >Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > >Hi Lori, >St. Patrick's cem.,joliet up on the net through will county site >Elizabeth MANNING wife of Michael died 26 aug 1881 age 75 years >Elizabeth C.
