Eugene Couch and rest of family stayed in LaSalle County, Illinois.

My relationship is with LaSalle County, Illinois and I am able to verify the family connections after 1860. I am attempting to put this family together in NY.

thank you for your help, the census work looks great! I wll be taking a trip to IL to research soon, hopefully after the first of the year a nothern line of COUCHs can be started.
I am trying to see what others have done so I do not duplicate the research.
