Historical Unit Needs Volunteers To Trace Famtles From time to time the McHenry County Historical society receives requests for help in tracing ancestors. On receipt of such inquiries a check is made to see if the name is recorded in the 1885, v 1903 or 1922 histories of McHenry county which carry biographical sketches of some of the early settlers. If the name is not listed in any of these three volumes, town and village centennial brochures on file are checked, as well as the society's own biographical files. These h^ve been building by asking anyone intefested to fill out family histories and file. Also, the society has been keeping obituaries of anyone born in the can be done at ones own county. convenience. When time permits, mem­ bers go to the courthouse and look up birth and death records. Due to a lack of volunteers to do this type of research it is not always possible to get full in­ formation to the inquirers.

I looked at my little daughter, appalled. Did she really think of Easter in terms of sugared eggs, fluffy bunnies and pretty candies? Had I given her the im­ pression that for grownups Easter is a time for new clothes, flowered hats and fragrant corsages? Surely, at some time, I must have told her the real story of Easter. Or had I? I was really flabbergasted at my negligence -- it took my little daughter to make me realize it I dismissed my house chores and sat down right then to tell her the glorious Easter story of the Resurrection. I told her what hope this eveiht brought for all of mankind -- with its promise of eternal life. I might add that the next week I enrolled my daughter in church school. And my husband and I started attending church again. We haven't missed a Sunday since.
