I am looking for any information on the family name Cabor. My grandfather Edward Cabor was born in LaSalle around 1907. I don’t even know the exact date. Any help would be appreciated. It took me years just to get a copy of his obituary in Moline. All that told me was that he was born in LaSalle. Thanks

I'm trying to establish a link from my great-great grandfather, John H. Rogers, to parents Shubal G. Rogers, and Tenny Armstrong. Little known on Shubal G. Hoping to link him to possible parentage of Levi Rogers and Lucy Crowell, to establish descendency to pilgrim Thomas Rogers. ANY INFO on Shubal G. Rogers, last listed in 1840 census of Wayne Co. NY, would be greatly appreciated.

Engel ROOD born December 1864 Norway (son of John REVNE and Martha ALTSDATTER) married Ella SWENSON (SVENSEN) Born March 1871 Norway (daughter of Ole SVENSEN and Asjer PORGESDATTER) on 11 February 1892 in Liberty, La Salle County, Illinois (per LDS copied marriage records) From 1892 to 1905 the ROOD Family resided in Meriden Township, La Salle County, Illinois (based on 1900 census records) and had six children before moving first to Tillman County, Oklahoma then to Humboldt County, Iowa. I am interested in (1) what information might be contained in their marriage license (2) whether either filed for naturalization while in La Salle County (3) whether there is any evidence of their presence in La Salle County before 1892 or that of either of their parents or siblings. Any assistance will be most appreciated. Thank you in advance. Kurt Hahn

Kiefer, William “Will” born about 1861 in Amboy, died I am told March 28, 1905 in LaSalle co. He had two children, his wife, Mary Daugherty, died in 1895. If someone has a chance to see if they could locate an obit for late March 1905 on him that would open up a line that has been a dead-end for quite a while. Or if anyone has seen the grave markers for Mary & William Kiefer. It might mention that he probably was a veteran of the Spanish American War. Thanks to any and all takers! Regards, Rich Pershell

SMITH SECRIST
Submitter: Anne Stohr [senexa@earthlink.net]
I’m seeking any information you may possess, or leads of any kind, on Charles E. Smith. The connection to LaSalle County is only tentative. However, my 2nd great-grandmother (Mary Secrist) married a Mr. Charles Smith in Macon County, Illinois. Subsequent events, leading to the birth of my great-grandfather a short while after the Civil War, ended are murky. However, a military record connects Charles E. Smith to Company A of the 64th Illinois Regiment of the Civil War. All of the dates fit the picture of a marriage and the birth of a child. For example, each of these events coincides with a furlough from military service for Mr. Smith. Somehow, after the war, Mr. Smith disappears and we are left wondering where he may have gone. His wife remarries and has more children. Because Smith is such a common name, it is difficult to be certain, but I think the Charles E. Smith of the marriage license in Macon may well be the Charles E. Smith of the 64th Regimental. Any and all leads will be gratefully considered. Thank you. Anne E. Stohr senexa@earthlink.net

I am looking for information on Caleb Godfrey b abt 1788 in NY or MA, d 1854 in Earl (Earlville) and his wife Harriet Gardner Godfrey b abt 1798. They had as children - Susannah whom I think married David Mathers, and she was born abt 1822; Patience b abt 1828; Harriet b abt 1836; Edwin R. born 1838 and died abt 1889 in IA; Helen b abt 1845; and James b abt 1846. They lived in Earl or Earlville . Caleb was a veteran of the War of 1812, his son Edwin a veteran of the Civil War. In Calebs papers, it states a daughter is married to John Hapeman, writing difficult to read and Harriet was living with them in 1866. Another daughter married to Oliver Pecia, again the hand writing difficult to decipher, who was also living in Earl in 1866. If you could help with more information on this family, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time. Sundrea Chrisman

KOZICKI
Submitter: [pam.lipske@mcd.com]
In the mid 1920's my grandfather operated a shoe store in Genoa on Main St. His wife died in childbirth in the late 1920's and because he already had 5 children, he took the child to a local orphanage...I believe the name was St. Joseph's. The baby, Karoline, was eventually released with his signature, but there are no records that we can get access to as to her fate. We do know that she was never adopted, but we can't get any further information. Karoline is my aunt and would be in her early 70's now. She has two living sisters, Mary and Helen (my mother) who are both in their 70's as well. They would like to find out anything about her with hopes of eventually being reunited with her. Her father's (my grandfather's) name was Wilhelm (Bill) Kozicki. Would you have access to any county records which may give me any information as to her history?

John Hickey appears with his wife Ann in Allen in the 1860 census. In 1870, John appears without his wife Ann, who presumably has died. I believe Ann's maiden name was McGovern; if so, they were married in Newark, New Jersey on 3 Nov 1850. Both were born in Ireland. Known children are: Mary, b abt 1851, New Jersey James, b abt 1853, New Jersey Margaret, b abt 1857, Ill, died 1882 in New Jersey Elizabeth, b abt 1859, Ill. Edward, b abt 1864, IL, does not appear in 1880 census with father in NJ Catherine, b abt 1867, IL There are other Hickeys from Ireland in the area, I don't know if they are related. John Hickey is my great-great-great grandfather. I would greatly appreciate any information or suggestions that anyone can provide. Thanks, Diane Rigden

I am looking for any information on my Grand Mother .Her name was Anna Gallup. Maiden name was Weirs. She married Andrew Gallup about 1905. She was born about 1885 or 1887. I have no idea of who her family was .. Where she was born or died. I know she had 2 sons. She lived in either Grand Ridge or Streator Illinois. Any information would be greatly appreciated as i have hit a brick wall and can find no information on her. My father *her son* was born in 1910 so she had to have died within a few years after that . He and his brother were raised by their Aunt Rose Greener in Streator Illinois. His father i have come to understand lived till 1950 and was remarried a couple times.

I am looking for any records for schools, teachers or the like. My great grandfather’s sister Rose Ellen Heer was a school teacher at “Leland, IL” which I have found is in LaSalle County. She was born to David and Martha Heer in Jo Daviess County, Galena, IL on Feb. 15, 1868 and died rather young, not sure why on April 4, 1901. She is buried in Galena, IL at Greenwood Cemetery. I just want to find any info about her as a teacher, or something at all. Since she died young as did two of her sisters, there is little info on them. Her sisters each died one in childbirth, after being sick years before, the other died at 18 yrs. when cancer was found in her leg and spreading. Rose was one of 17 children at last count, she being one of the middle children.
