PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU CONTACT ME

First, thank you for contacting me but be aware, I do not do research for individuals. I do try to get on my computer every day but I may be working on my own family trees or other volunteer jobs I have. I will do my best to keep the Wayne County Genealogy website updated and correct problems as I find them or have them reported to me.

My goal is to have as much data as possible on this site to help researchers. But please remember, I am only one volunteer person and the only coordinator for this site right now.

You can help by submitting items!! Send a Family Group Sheet, obituaries, family records, photos, add your name to the surname list, and so-on.

PLEASE DO NOT ask me for the following items, of which I can not do because I live in Texas. The top request I get are

  • tombstone photo(s)
  • cemetery walk throughs
  • obituaries (they are on microfilms),
  • any document from the court house
  • make corrections (name spellings) on a document that is displayed "as it is written".

Too often I get email because a misspelled name or contained a 'nickname' was displayed. I copy all documents and display each "as it is written". I know "Bob" is a nickname for Robert, but I will not put Robert as the given name if the document reads "Bob".

Do Contact me to:

  • submit items (obits, photos, or anything!)
  • add your name to the surname list
  • suggestions for a category to add with data to start it
  • complaints written nice!

Last, if you need help, send email out to the Wayne Co., IL mailing list. To learn how to subscribe read the instructions here and then send your email to the list.

Also search the mailing list archives and you may find your question has already been answered by someone.

If you still need to contact me, send me email by clicking on this link -->ilwaynegenweb@gmail.com (if you use web mail, you may need to type or copy and paste this email address when composing email to me.)

Note: this is a new email address...I cannot access the email account Dianna used in the past.
