They are now a national organization under the name of Genealogy Trails. Here is an update and link to the Whiteside site: http://genealogytrails.com/ill/whiteside/ Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 06:05:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Christine Walters Subject: UPDATE -- Whiteside County - Illinois Genealogy Trails Newest additions to Whiteside County http://genealogytrails.com/ill/whiteside/ BIOS: William Brightman, George R.

Hazel Green School was actually in Carroll County - but straddled the Whiteside County line.. so I'll be featuring this story on both the county sites. I would have had this done this month - except for a sprained wrist that put me out of commission for about a week... Thanks also to Jennifer Sanders who sent in several lisitings for the various cemeteries... Enjoy your summer..

Have you tried Genealogy Trails/Illinois? http://genealogytrails.com/ill/ They cover a much larger area than we do. Hve you done a site search here to see if we have any info - such as bios, burials, obits, etc? It would be helpful if you were more specific. You should also start a NEW message topic which would include the surname your are researching.
