1. Re: Alexander Co Courthouse [1]
I live 30 minutes from Cairo and 20 minutes from Pulaski Co Court House. I understand the mess but one thing we should all take note of Karima is correct Cairo in the 70's had a population of 7000 + now 3000+ both counties have small tax base and it keeps getting smaller. 2. Those folks who did know what is what at the courthouse are probably retired or dead. 3. New Generations of County Clerks and new hires due to 2. 4. These are small counties compared to Union , Johnson and Massac their neighbors. 5. Of
2. Re: Alexander Co Bid [1]
Good Morning Valerie and fellow list members, I am more than ready to assist in this matter in any way possible. First we need to find out what we are dealing with. If this is a grant to come through a "governmental" entity then we could contact the appropriate legislators, etc. If this is a "State of Illinois" grant, we should contact the State Senator for that area (I know who this is) and the State Representatives for Alexander County and surrounding counties. We could also contact the Governor's Of

4. help with my family line please................ [1]
Looking for the death date for Isaac Collins. He would have died in the year of 1889- bef Aug 1890 (my guess). I do not know if he served and died in the war or if he was a farmer and died of natural causes. At the time of his marriage to Sarah Cross, he was 39yrs old and she was 22yrs. I feel he may have been married once before her. Also his daughter died between 1890-1900. She was listed in the 1890 census but I dont think she was in the 1900 census (she would be listed under her step dad's na

6. Alexander Co Courthouse [1]
I recently (Aug. 16, 2001) visited Alexander Co courthouse. I would like others to share there experiences. In the County Clerk's office (MR, DC, and BC) I was charged $1.00/page for copies, if I remember correctly some mentioned they were charged $.50/page. I also checked out the Circuit Clerk's office (Probate records). I was told by the folks in the office that they did not have a probate index for records older than 1920. They gave me a key to a vault that was up stairs. I found the room a m

This sounds like a really valuable resource! Is there anyone who might also be able to look at Clifford's 'find'? I would love to be able to check out my ERWIN / IRWIN wills through this set of records. Has anyone local to the Courthouse any ideas? We need to ensure that the records are maintained and people enabled to access them.

12. Funeral Homes [1]
Can I ask a "newbie" question? I have never contacted Funeral homes before, although I have been doing research for years - what kind of information do they have and how helpful have you found them generally to be? I have been desperately searching for the death and/or burial records for John P. Hall (Judge J.P. Hall) he died between 1910 and 1920, his wife is listed as a widow on the 1920 census still in the same place, leading me to believe he probably did die there. However he is not listed for

To the List There are funeral homes in Cairo, also one in Tamms. There aren't any cemeteries in Cairo, as all burial are either in Villa Ridge, Tamms, or Olive Branch and the other town surrounding Cairo. On the funeral homes Barkett Funeral Home is in Cairo. Kay
17. Alexander county courthouse [1]
Hi Nadeen, I was just back there a few months ago. The courthouse is in Cairo on Hwy 37...I didn't get the exact address...but the town is so small you won't have any trouble finding the courthouse. It is about in the center of the town on the north side of the road. It's a relatively new two story building...not too big. The marriage and land records go back to about 1818. I don't remember about death and probate, but I think that they are much later. Don't expect too much help from the people wo
18. Re: Alexander Co Bid [1]
I would think the first place would be the Alexander County Commissioners when they meet bring up the subject of what they will or can do about the problem also the alledged grant that is to be funded what are they going to do with it. Preserving the documents etc. Before I started going to Springfield I would think that I would ask the Alexander Co IL people what they can do about the problem.

20. Re: Alexander Co Courthouse [1]
Hi Clifford, Your experience is pretty consistent with what the rest of us have found at the courthouse. As for the amount they charge for copies...at first I was told $1.00 per page, but when the girl saw how many copies I had made she reduced the price to 50 cents per page. I still ended up paying them nearly $40. I was told by one of the clerks in the probate office that most of the clerks are new because during the last election the clerks were replaced along with the politician. Most of them real

Although my planned trip to Alexander County will not be as soon as next week, I also would appreciate getting the same information that Nadeen has requested about locating the vital records that she mentioned in the Alexander County Courthouse. Could answers be posted to the list, please? Families that I am researching in Cairo include the following surnames: SAUP, ARTER, EICHENBERGER.

23. Alexander Co Courthouse [1]
I was reeling unhappily when I read the emails about the condition of the Alexander County Courthouse, pained for you who knew Cairo "when" and for all family researchers--as well as selfishly unhappy for myself, who am just now beginning to research my SAUP/ARTER/EICHENBERGER families, residents of Cairo during the latter half of the 19th Century. My question: is their any quasi-organized group, or organized person who can put together a group of people who can begin making in-roads into organizing the f
24. Alexander Co Bid [1]
Dear Alexander List friends, Firstly well done to Alexander County for making the Bid for funding in respect of the vault materials! As a (virtual) group I'm sure we can make the Alexander County Bid more robust and more notable to the people who will decide on its relevance and perhaps amount of $$$ given for this work. May I suggest a letter from the list administrator (supported by as many of us as possible) is sent to the Board/Charity/Department making the award? Its not just getting the award but
