Thank you for writing..I am only searching in Fulton County as I know where they all were..I am trying to find if some of my living cousins might be on the list.. I have seen your posts and knew you were having a hard time finding your Parks family..and as far as I know, none of my my Dad's family was ever out of Fulton Co. They moved there from NJ in 1849 and most are still around that area, that is, except for my parents who moved to Calif. in 1951.. I really remember very little about Illinois, but have found about 50 of the cousins in my Mom's family so now I have my connection back.. Wishing you luck..
