Dear Anna, The very first thing a serious researcher needs is a good map of the area they are working in. These can be gotten free from Chambers of Commerce's and there are many web sites also. http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html By looking at a map you will see that St. Louis is in MO and East St. Louis is in IL, divided by the Mississippi River. Even people who were raised in the general are don't seem to realize the difference! The histories of the 2 areas is also quite different, with St. Louis being much older. Also St. Louis became an independent city in the 1870's ('76 I think) and before that it was considered St. Louis Co. So remember to note your dates as well as locations, that will help you know whether to look in the County or City files. East St. Louis is in St. Clair Co., IL. Hope that helps! Good luck on your quest. Carolyn, originally from East.

Anna: The City of St. Louis is on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River. The City of East St. Louis is on the Illinois side of the River. Two seperate states, two seperate cities seperated only by the River... Hope this helps..

You can receive the Bounty Land Warrants from the National Archives by sending in you request on Form 84. To receive this Form send an email request to: [email protected] In the body of the message put Form 84 and the number you need with your mailing address. On the Form you need to fill out the information on the document and patent number for the Land Warrant. You can get those from the BLM web site. If you don't have that their URL is: <A HREF="http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/">BLM - ES, GLO Records - Home</A> If you'll include your credit card number on the Form request it'll really speed the process up. It will still take several weeks to months to get the packet back but it's usually well worth the wait. Debi

Morper families are recorded in both 1800's Missouri and in Cook County, Illinois. Two brothers, Nicholas and John Morper served in the army during the Civil War from Illinois. I can not find a relationship to the Missouri Morpers. Their father, Adam, is cited in one of the census taken in Cook County. Does any one know of these Morper families, their port of entry, siblings, relationship to each other? I would appreciate information you can provide. Myron Morper in Ca. [email protected]

Help! I have abt 15 5-yr diaries and several travel journals of an ancestor, plus a new computer. After I type all entries and dates exactly in the computer, is there a way one can get the computer to sort by subject word? For example: if I want to find all entries (and the date of each entry) mentioning a paternal g-grandfather and g-g-grandfather how do I tell the machine to find all entries concerning John Whitfield JOHNSTON and Robert Flurnoy JOHNSTON? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Listers, Could someone explain the difference between "East St. Louis" and "St. Louis" proper? Both are frequently mentioned in grandmother's diaries. Are they two different places or just two different names for the same city? Is there a map of these two places? Where would I find such a map? Hope I'm not asking too many questions.

I am researching my GGF who was Cherokee and born in South West City, MO on8/20/1859 His surname was Grayhown. I believe his mother to be Ka HawkerBushyhead whom I find on the Dawes Commission Roles. I find numerous bits ofinfo on other Bushyhead's but cannot link Ka Hawker to any. My GGF laterused the name James Madison Graham and in the 1910 census used the nameJames Madison Grayhown. I am trying to determine if SW City, MO has a FamilyHistory Center or if there are other resources in the area or state that mayhelp me in my research. Any info would be great.

Dabney A. WHITLOW (b.c. 1828 in KY) and his wife Olive (b.c. 1835 in TN) were enumerated in Tarrant Co., TX in 1880. According to this census record, several of their children were born in MO. A patron submission to the IGI lists the following children: 1. William F. WHITLOW - Birth: 1857 La Plata, Macon, Missouri 2. Nellie E. WHITLOW - Birth: 1860 La Plata, Macon, Missouri 3. Florence WHITLOW - Birth: 1862 La Plata, Macon, Missouri 4. Marian C. WHITLOW - Birth: 1866 La Plata, Macon, Missouri 5. Charles WHITLOW - Birth: 1868 La Plata, Macon, Missouri There is apparently no record of Dabney WHITLOW's marriage in Macon Co. If anyone has records for other counties, I'd appreciate a check. The index at Ancestry.com for the 1860 MO census does not show him either, and I'm stumped. Thanks for any help. Ann -- Ann Avery Hunter Richmond, Virginia mailto:[email protected]
