1. Mero, Illinois [1]
Just received a copy of an Illinois ancestor's marriage license. It says he was born in Mero, Illinois. I have searched everywhere I can think of and can't find this place. Any suggestions what county this might be or have been in? Thanks for any help you can give me. Stacey momdit@aol.com

3. Whiteside County, Illinois Request for info [1]
I am looking for some help with Frank Cox. I know he is in the 1860 census of Whiteside County, IL. I would like to know if he is there in the 1870, 1880 and 1900 census. He was 28 in 1860 with a wife Hannah age 26. I am also looking for a death record for Frank, if any one has a resource for either type of information I would appreciate the help. Odette Brandt
4. This is great news! [1]
This is great news. Whiteside sent me my great-grandparents' marriage certificate with (zilch) no information except the name of the bride and groom and the date of their marriage (Oct. 1868). Well, I have still never found my g-grandfather's parents' names. Did they do this Return form as early as 1868? -----------------Original Message--------------------- Subject: Re: marriage license/certificate data Resent-Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 07:43:59 -0700 (PDT) Resent-From: ILWHITES-L@rootswe
5. Dr. John Daly, Illinois State Archivist [1]
Dr. John Daly, Illinois State Archivist, who is largely responsible for the Illinois Marriage Data Project, gave a speech a year ago today which should be noted by anyone interested in family history. The speech is reproduced at the following address: http://www.ancestry.com/magazine/articles/genpower.htm Regards, John
6. Orphan trains/Robert Tanner [1]
Does anyone know how to find info on orphan trains that came to Illinois? I think that my Robert Tanner made it to Illinois on one. He was born probably in NY, although I have found it as NY, NJ, CT, and Ireland, and ended up in Illinois in the 1900 census in Tampico living with the Harly or Harlo Smith Family - the name is hard to read on the census. He is listed as an orphan. He had a brother and sister that both stayed in New York. He was the youngest of the family, and a family story says that he w
7. Re: Silas MARTIN [1]
I checked the Bent Wilson bio and it indicates that Silas Martin came to Prophetstown Twp. in 1839, stayed two years and moved to Coloma (Rock Falls area) and died there in 1859. His daughter Sophia and husband Sidney Barber are in the 1860 census in Coloma. Checked the miscelaneous cemeteries and did not find Silas or Sidney or Sophia Barber. Also checked the Old Sterling cemeteries and Prophetstown cemetery. Since neither family shows up in these, I suspect they may have been buried in Riverside in St
8. Re: marriage license/certificate data [1]
My 1877 one for my GGrandparents is like this: The license itself only gives the Bride and Groom, but the license requires that the person performing the ceremony returns the license certifying that the ceremony was performed and completing a Return of a Marriage License which is completed by the bride and groom and the minister, JP, etc. The Return form gives the parents names, place of birth of the bride and groom, the number of the marriage, brides maiden name, if a widow.

9. New Marriage Index [1]
Hi listers: I found my second grgrandmother on the new Illinois marriage index. Can someone tell me how I can get a copy of this marriage record? Whiteside Co. is not listed in the Illinois Archives holdings and when I checked the marriage records held at the family history library for Whiteside the marriages started in about 1856. How do I get this marriage record in 1841 that was in Book A. Is it in some other county? MCINTOSH, ALEXANDER BEEMAN, MARY MRS WHITESIDE 03/06/1841 A/ 46 Gwen B
10. Re: Orphan trains/Robert Tanner [1]
Couple more things...on my Transcript of the census, I find Robert in 1900 with the Harlow, Smith family in Hume, NOT Tampico. Hume Twp. is just north of Tampico. Also, from the Illinois Marriage Index, Harlo Smith married Louisa Pope in 1854 in Whiteside. Probably not too significant unless you want to try to track the Smith family for some descendents who might know something about Robert Tanner. Also, since Robert was just sixteen in 1900, he probably came to Illinois within the prior 2 or 3 years.
11. Statewide searchable marriage index for Illinois [1]
You may have already seen this, but there is now a statewide searchable marriage index for Illinois at: http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html PLEASE read the information about the index! It is NOT complete! 84 out of 102 counties have data, and only 43 of those are complete and ONLY for the time frame specified. Check the detailed listing of counties before you spend a lot of time searching for names in an incomplete county! Note that Carroll and Whiteside Counties are complete for y
12. Re: Whiteside County, Illinois Request for info [1]
Odette, Frank and Hannah were NOT in the 1870 census, 1880 or 1900 census. He also was not in the 1890 tax list. In 1860 they were in Garden Plain Twp. with Frank born Ohio. There were some other Cox families in the county, especially in the Prophetstown area. The only Cox burial I see in the Garden Plain area is: Minta Cemetery, NE corner of Sec. 33 Garden Plain Twp. Cox, John d. Dec 25, 1863 a. 87 years. Bob
13. Re: New Marriage Index [1]
All, For copies of marriage licenses (or birth/death records) contact the County Clerk's office in Morrison, IL. Phone number is (815) 772-5189, they are very helpful! Note...it may be possible that the very early marriages, like the 1841 one that Gwen was asking about, were filed with Jo Daviess County, the parent county of Whiteside. However, just looking at the pages of the index that I have copied, I do see some as early as 1840. This was for license A-22. If anyone talks to the County Clerk's o
14. Re: marriage license/certificate data [1]
... Can you tell me if the IL marriage license or certificate mentions the parents of the two that are being married? Someone wrote back telling me that the only one that I had asked for that would give parents names was of 1883. Thank you, Linda
15. Re: Orphan trains/Robert Tanner [1]
You might check this site... http://www.system.missouri.edu/shs/orphan.html The Orphan Train Society has lots of information on trains in general. My GGrandfather was sent to Thompson, IL in Carroll County in the 1850's as were 2 of his brothers. We later...after a lot of searching discovered that his father (my GGGrandfather) was alive and well in Vermont. He was discharged from the Army after the Civil War in New York City where the family lived, the boys were shipped out and he moved to Vermont and
