Hello Listees, I hope that all of you are so young that you never heard the old radio program (pre WWII) that came on with a deep basso voice stating "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men - THE SHADOW DOES". (Many parodies have been made over the years from this statement). Now to the mystery that confronts me. I have made an extensive research of the Marriage Records of Alexander County, state of IL., from the county's conception to 1891. I came up with five (5) SNOWs marriages which is my main surname project. I started with the city of Metropolis, IL., County of Massac being my starting point from family records. But my father was born in Cairo, IL., and was married in Mound City, County of Pulaski, IL. Trying to research my grandfather further I ended up in Alexander County. Anyway here the list of marriages SNOW, Hariett m. JOHNSON, Alfred - 9/16/1889 SNOW, Frank H. m. MALONE, Eunice - 8/27/1889 (This one could be my great-uncle?) SNOW, Laura m. YOUNG, Jordan - 8/5/1889 SNOW, Edward A. m. Etta E. WALKER - 1/26/1889 (This one I'm sure is my grandfather) SNOW, Frank W. m. MALESSE, Emma - (no date but #361) (This one could be my great-uncle?) I have watched all the stated lists for any SNOWs since I started doing my family research, and this is the first time a SNOW other than the "O. A. SNOW" that I keep posting will have shown up. Would my SHADOW show up and explain to me where have these SNOWs have came from. Frank SURNAMES are now SNOW, JAMES, WALKER, DAVIS, and HOLT in Alexander, Pulaski, Masac, Pope and Hardin counties.
