Due to spamming and hackers, our "new" query boards had to be shut down in April 2005. At this time, there is no plan to start another query board. You can submit a Menard Co. related query directly to me via Email and I will post them on our site. Please put the word "Query" in the email subject line.

SEWELL
Good Morning!
HARMS I am trying to find information on my great grand parents – Harm H. Harms and Zeetje (Sadie) Huls-Harms. I believe they settledin Menard County from Germany and then they went onto Richardson County in Nebraska. Thank you for any information available.
CHRISTENSEN, MILLER I'm seeking information about my great-grandfather who was either a Christensen or a Miller with connections to Menard County. Here's what I know:
Niels Christensen was, I think, his birth name.
Ancestry.com has the following Illinois marriage record for Niels and Cecelia: Two sons, Fred Christian (b.1885) and James (b.1888), list Illinois as their birthplace on census records. In fact, James' 1917 draft card lists his birthplace as "Springfield, Illinois.) Family moved to Menasha, Wisconsin around 1889/1890, I would guess, based on birthdates of later children. My great-grandfather's name appears as "Nels Miller" in 1900 Census of Menasha township. The census lists all the children above plus some new ones. However, the two older girls names appear as "Mary" and "Julia." Nels died shortly after that census and does not appear on subsequent censuses. In Wisconsin Nels' occupation was farmer. However, our family always said that the last name of "Miller" was taken because it had been his occupation somewhere earlier in his life (Denmark or Illinois?) Can you help me find any information about this family during its Illinois years? I'm not sure whether they lived in Menard County, Sangamon County or in Springfield itself.
