Remember me in the family tree
my name, my days, my strife;
Then I'll ride upon the wings of time
and live an endless life." -Goetsch
Someone had sent me this lovely sentiment some time ago. I have recently heard from the author, Linda Goetsch, and she has graciously given permission for it to remain posted. Be aware it is copyrighted. Linda has a great web site with much help for your family tree efforts: www.grillyourgranny.com. Enjoy!

For information on any of these names contact Site Coordinator Nadine Holder on the About Us page. If you do contact me be sure to give complete information on the given and surnames that you are interested in, the approximate time period and, above all, MENTION MERCER COUNTY, as I volunteer on other Web Sites.

Another resource for you is the Rootsweb Mercer County Board. Make sure the Mercer Board is selected and then type in your surname of interest to see if there are any postings.

For still more Mercer County Surnames see the IlGenWeb Mercer County site. We have corrected our site but may have missed some biographies or obituaries listed in individual family files - we will correct them as we find them. Some obituaries are on the Mercer County Rootsweb Board. If there is a problem accessing something from our site please let us know.) If you have your Mercer County family data on a Web Site of your own, we will be glad to link it here as long as it does not offer data for sale. We are committed to adding to free genealogy exchange on the Internet.

We are participating in the Illinois Biographies Project - to see our page linked to them, and see what biographies can be accessed by them {Click}

Dan Sywassink publishes a monthly newsletter about Eliza Township and sends it out by email. If you would like to subscribe contact us for his email. Even though our ancestors have not lived there for more than 100 years it is still interesting to see what surnames are still there and what kinds of activities go on there. He also publishes some interesting history items. He is working on a Web Site which we will link when it is available.

Jim Jones is working on a Keithsburg Web Site "Keithsburg Chronicles."
