TAHS New Entries of May 2005
Jun 2, 2005
Hello all! We've had a busy month with so many people submitting their family histories and photos. My "right arm" aka: Becky Jones has diligently transcribed more bios from the PORTRAIT & BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF WHITESIDE COUNTY, IL, published in 1885. The Tampico Area Historical Society & Museum includes: Whiteside Co. -Tampico, Deer Grove/Hahnaman Twp, Hume Twp.; Bureau Co. - Yorktown/Fairfield Twp., Thomas, and part of Henry Co. - Yorktown. By default, we include other surrounding areas such as Prophetstown, Sterling, Rock Falls, etc. We hope there is something for everyone in these vicinities. Our website offers FREE historical/genealogical information to all who are interested. The HOME page is the main menu (be sure to scroll all the way down so you don't miss anything). There is a "quick reference" tab at top of page - "WHAT'S NEW" for the latest entries for that month, with a direct link to the new entry. Here are the entries for May 2005: NEW ENTRIES FOR MAY 2005 (parentheses indicate where to find it from Main Menu on HOME page) UPDATE ON TAMPICO FESTIVAL DAYS, June 24, 25 & 26 Saturday, June 25 - Local Christian Musical Talent (Calendar/June 25) FAMILY HISTORIES Descendants of John & Rachel Darnell and Rogers (Family Histories), Submitted by Les Niemi Correction to Glassburn Family Chart (Family Histories), submitted by Linda York BIOGRAPHIES Elam R.
