WELCOME

_{Please walk through and browse the Cemetery. What you will find is great information ! Burial locations give great clues as to spouses and family members. What is even GREATER, is I have looked up each individual in the 1900 Blandinsville Census. You will find an email link for each individual that I found in the Census and the page number.  This Census gives ADDITIONAL GREAT information. It names spouses maiden names, number of years the couple has been married, how many children they had and how many still living as of 1900. It also inlcudes the year of immigration, and if the couple was married in McDonough Co, it lists the date of their marriage, AND the License Number.  I DID notice, however, that MANY MANY dates of birth do NOT match with dates of birth provided in the census. You can only use your best judgement and your own best guess as to which source you find to be correct. Please do not ask about these differences, as I have double checked, and I have typed EXACTLY as I see.  Have FUN and I hope you find many missing clues to your ancestors.}
