I've been scanning photos from my great-grandmother's album. Her name was Luna Jane White Jackson. Are any of these folks your relatives? Photos were taken in Galva, Peoria, Gailsburg, or LaFayette.
Mr. Yates...

I have been tracing my husband's ancestors from the farming communities in Venne, Northwest Germany, to Okawville and Venedy, Washington County, Illinois. If anyone is interested in family history in either of these areas, I have many families in my database. Our family friend in Venne recently published a detailed, documented history of the 19th century emigration from Venne to Illinois and Indiana, among other locations, called Venne to America. The book's chapter of over 2000 immigrants from Venne gives spouse, birth dates, destination, and immigration year. More information on the book on my blog.

I should also indicate I'm interested in the family and descendents of Washington Wilson, who arrived in Crawford County from N. Carolina in the mid-1800's.

I have been trying to find my maternal gr gr grandparents, who lived in the Chicago region in mid 1800's. My gr gr grandfather immigrated to US around 1850 from Limerick Cty, Ireland - he was Steven O'Shaughnessy - and married a Nancy O'Conner (this is from family records). One of his daughters, Elizabeth Ann, married John William Geiger (fr om Ohio) (I think I found evidence of a marriage license in Chicago), He had a sister who married John McNamara and apparently immegrated about the same time. One of their sons was a Bishop McNamara.
I've been frustrated in my attempts to find out any thing further back about these families

I am researching the Bastin/Bastian and Jagger families from Jo Daviess County-Apple River and Thomson townships. I am not aware that my names are connected to the Galena Bastians, but I could be in error. What I am sure of, is that in 1851, my ancestor Mariah Bastin was born in Scales Mound, then her father John and mother Ann had a farm in Thomson, Illinois. The family originated from Yorkshire, England. Maria eventually came to Utah and married Jonathan Cyrus Harrington in 1882. There is a gap following the 1860 census until 1882 that involves children, and I am searching for any clues. I doo have other info surrounding this family to share if I can help anyone.
