From the South Suburban Genalogical and History Society in Cook Co, Il.
There are some interesting websites mentioned and a list member thought you
might not know about all of them.

Infolinks are links to web sites or other information that we hope will help
you in your research.

These links are not endorsed by SSGHS but provided as information only.

SSGHS makes no warranty, expressed or implied, with regard to featured
products or services. Results may vary based on operating systems and other
variables beyond our control. All links are active and correct as of the
date of this infolink.

National Geographic Maps
It looks as if they have up to date as well as antique maps on the site.

Subject: Finding Ancestry.com 1910 Census Images
Ancestry.com has recently put up a name index for the 1910 census. This lets
you search the census by name. But when you find a person, there is no link
to get to the census image for that person. Same problem exists if you
search for a person using the Heritage Quest CDs for 1910.

So along comes Steve Morse, Joel Weintraub, and Dave Kehs with a new webpage
to help us out. It's a form on which you enter the information found from
the Ancestry or Heritage name search, and the census image will be displayed
You can get to Steve's form by going to his homepage at
http://stevemorse.org

and clicking on the link for "1910 Census Images" in the census section. If
you have any questions or comments, please direct them to Steve. His e-mail
address is at the top of the website.

There is an option on Ancestry to bring up the images also. You just enter
the information from the search page.

Have you tried Ancestry's Obituary Hunter?
Receive notification by email of new obituaries found in online newspapers
across the country that you want to see. Simply fill in the surname or
keyword and Ancestry will send you new matches by e-mail whenever obituaries
matching your terms are located.
