Hi Fulton Friends,

I am the new Board Admin for this Fulton message board, and also the ILGenWeb Fulton Co. Coordinator and ILFulton-L list admin. I invite you to visit our growing ILGenWeb Fulton Co. website at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilfulton/

In particular, I am pleased to announce that I have just completed posting highly-detailed scans of all 128 pages of the book, "1871 Atlas Map of Fulton Co., Illinois." The homepage for this book is at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilfulton/1871FultonAtlas/1871AtlasM...

This book is a real treasure: 128 pages of great maps (with settlers' names!), biographies, resident lists, and delightful etchings of farms, settlers, stores, churches -- Everything Fulton in 1871!

Our ILFulton-L list volunteers are hard at work transcribing all the names from these pages, so that our search engine (and eventually a master index) will point you to the exact locations of references to your research surnames, etc., in the book and elsewhere on our website.

Also, please consider joining our friendly and free ILFulton-L mailing list! We now have over 300 Fulton researchers subscribed to our list in regular or "digest" (grouped messages) mode, and are very active helping each other with Fulton Co. research every day. You will find instructions for joining this list on our website at:

Best wishes with your Fulton family research!
Alice
IL Fulton admin, webmaster, and county coordinator
