Comment by Rebecca Poertner on July 30, 2009 at 4:07pm: I just want everyone to know that the ladies in the Montgomery County Court House (County Clerk's office) are the best! I spent the day there yesterday, going through records in their vault, making copies, looking for things, and one of the ladies (Debby) even gave me a lead to a LIVING relative that I didn't even know existed. I was able to travel to Irving, Illinois to a cemetery to see where 2 of my great aunts and uncles are. What a great experience! Thank you to the Montgomery County, Illinois, County Courthouse ladies!

Comment by Debra Van Sant on July 28, 2009 at 9:53pm: I am researching the DOWNES and LAWSON familes of Rock Island County. Also included would be ABRAHAM, JONES, CHASE, RUGH, CHANEY, CAVERLY, BRANDON and ALEXANDER families.

Comment by Cheryl Rothwell on July 27, 2009 at 1:33pm: It's very difficult to follow a conversation on the wall. May I suggest you start a discussion by county or by surname so others can find it and perhaps provide more help?

Comment by Sue Lederer Geiger on July 25, 2009 at 10:54am: My Quinns and McKnights settled in Cumberland Co.,Illinois. Both families were Scotch-Irish. The McKnights emigrated from Chester Co.,Pennsylvania,and the Quinns from Pennsylvania via Ohio.

Comment by JB Peterson on July 24, 2009 at 3:35pm: Looking for my GGF's sister Johanna Sofia Persdotter (perhaps Anna Peterson in America) who immigrated from Sweden in 1875 and lived, for a time at least, in the Rock Island, IL vicinity.

Comment by Debra Simkin on July 23, 2009 at 5:20pm: Looking for the Cox family, Sangamon County, ILL in the mid 1820's. William Cox married Jane Hohimer in 1829 then in 1831 they moved to Southern MO. William had a younger brother who also married a Hohimer girl (Susan) and followed his brother to MO. I am trying to find the parents of William and Henry, I am not sure how long they were in ILL.

Comment by Joan Tyner on July 22, 2009 at 3:33pm: Hi,
Is anyone doing research in Washington County (Nashville area) or Montgomery County? Surnames: Williams, Reeves, Ayers

Comment by Dawn Smyth Hicks on July 20, 2009 at 7:56pm: Hi Kate,
No I haven't found John and Phoebe in 1910. I tried MN as Phoebe's sister lived there and tried Ontario thinking perhaps they had gone home for a while, but nothing at all.

Comment by Letitia Bowles on July 20, 2009 at 5:35pm: My gr gr grandfather immigrated here in the 1850's and I find him living first in Adams County. I'm looking for his naturalization record. Does anyone have any idea where they might be?
