I am familiar with my German families that removed to Union County, Illinois in 1823+ -- I am most interested in learning about any church records that might exist for these German families who lived along the Second Creek. What about cemetery records? Have the survived for any of these Rowan County pioneers or their descendants? --Myra Vanderpool Gormley, CG Myra I have several of the cemetery books printed by the Rowan Genealogy Society. I'll take a look for your German names as soon as I get a chance. Sarah Goodman ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
