  • Marjorie Bailey Robert Campbell Hello. I will check the birth record for you. As I am librarian at Doyle Public Library in Raymond it will be a few days before I can go to Hillsboro.

  • Robert Campbell Campbell. I live in Washington DC and am researching a possible connection to Montgomery Co., Ill. I am looking for the birth record of Charles C. Campbell, who may be the son of Joseph Warren Campbell and Catherine Ramsey who lived in Litchfield according to the 1880 US Census. Charles C. Campbell would have been born in 1881 or 1882. As my ability to get to Montgomery Co. is limited, I am looking for a way to have someone to see if the birth record exists. I am willing to pay a reasonnable fee.

  • Ann Stoddard Marjorie Bailey Hi Marjorie. I'm helping Jim May locate possible descendants of Raymond E Browning 4/2/1912-8/1/1985. He and his wife and lots of his Browning ancestors are buried at Rovey Cemetery. Any chance you could try and locate an obit? I'm not sure if Waggoner has published any sort of centennial book beside the Vignettes in 1986, but if they have one he might be included. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
