Talk:Jo Daviess County, Illinois

message: The assertion that German immigration to Jo Daviess County didn't ramp up until the 1880s is patently incorrect.  This is borne out by the presence of German-Americans on Civil War muster rolls for Illinois regiments.  The "History" section in this article needs a rework.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.91.229.28 (talk) 04:58, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Having grown up in the area, it's been my experience that the the Daviess portion of the name is often actually pronounced more as Da-vie-s instead of Davis.

replies: text: I moved to the area in March '06.  On WCCI (Savanna, Carroll County, IL), announcers pronounce it "Jo Davis" and I've overheard locals in and near JD County pronounce it either "Jo Davis" or even drop the O entirely and say "J'Davis".  I'll go with my own observations and those of the webmasters here: "Those who have lived in the area all their lives pronounce Daviess as “Davis,” but you will often hear it spoken as “Davees” by those who have not grown up here."

thread_title: Pronunciation

message: Hey I was curious if anyone knew about anything Rodden, Illinois.  You can search it on mapquest...  I know there is a Rodden Road outside of Galena.  I've also come across some genealogical information on people being born from or dieing in "Rodden, Illinois".  I also read that there used to be a train station or something in Rodden, but beyond this stuff I have no clue.
If it merits it, I think it would be great to have an article on Wikipedia about it.  But first I need info.  If someone could leave a message on my talk page or e-mail me I would really appreciate it!  Thanks! Chupper 14:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "The local pronunciation, as in "Davis", is probably an echo of the correct pronunciation and spelling."
This is unsubstaniated and not necessarily true.  Cairo, Illinois is definitely not an echo of the correct pronunciation of Cairo, Egypt.
How is it pronounced in the other states that have a Daviess county?  
This should read "The local pronunciation is "Davis."
