Greetings to all. 2005 has been a great year for us. The 
website now has over 2100 pages of FREE information, 
history, biographies and photos - and we're just getting 
started! Many thanks to all of our contributors and 
especially to Les Niemi for this months Tampico Tornado 
transcriptions. 
 
Our site count is up to 374,225. I have contacted as many 
people as possible that are members of Classmates.com who 
areTampico High School alumni. The response has been great. 
If you know of anyone that may benefit or enjoy our site, 
please pass the web address on to them. You can do this 
directly from the web site -

I am in the process of transfering all of the Henry County 
information over to the IL Trails - Henry County website.  
http://iltrails.org/henry/ We will keep any "hard copy"  
information we have archived in the "brick-and-mortor" 
Tampico Hist. Soc. Museum in our Family History Library. 
 
You can access the IL Trails home page 
http://www.iltrails.org/ and select any county  
from the menu list on the left side of page. Chris Walters 
does a mars from the Tampico Tornado Newspapers which are 
archived at our musem. We have recently acquired original 
copies of 1876-1880 and 1882 - even the State archives do 
not have these copies!  
 
Below you will find the latest entries on the website for 
November, 2005. You can also go to the "What's New"? page 
of site for direct links to each entry.
