Hello, I've tried Illinois/Pope and rootsweb.com, but haven't tried
gencom.com. I will do that.

What was your grandmother's name and time-frame of which you are speaking?
Who knows, maybe she is a relative of mine.

Have you tried ? It's a very busy site and besides
geneology they have very knowledgable computer helpers. So if you have a
computer problem you can't figure out, ask them first.
