What a great Site.  I am very impressed.  Genealogy is my absolute favorite pasttime.  When I am not working on my own tree I am usually helping someone work on theirs or even doing lookups for people to far away to do their own.  I live in Mattoon Illinois and should any of you need something looked up in Coles County Illinois just let me know.  I also have several old books for some of the surrounding counties and have tons of surnames that I can look up for people needing help in surrounding counties.  I look forward to getting to know all of you and maybe getting some great ideas for a few brick walls that I have hit.
