Dear Forum Members......
Let me pass along this great site. If only ALL states would do a
statewide index of Marriages
1763-1900. Here is the shortcut to get where you want to go...
http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html
and below is the announcement.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE ARCHIVES:

Although this will remain "unofficial" for a short
time, the Statewide Marriage Index worked on for so
many years by the ISGS, State Archives, and Secretary
of State Information Systems Services Department is now
available on the Secretary of State web site.

There is now a link to the marriage database on the
Archives' homepage which may be reached at the
following address:
www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/arc_home.html
Look under the "Search Our Online Databases."

An official announcement concerning the database will
be pending until more formal arrangements can be made.
In the meantime, you are invited to give the database a
test run and report any problems you might experience.

There are currently a little over one million records
in the online database. Plans are to update the
database every 6 months or so. Eighty-four counties are
represented in the online database. Data entry is
complete for 43 of those counties. Please check out the
supplemental information that is reached by links on
the introductory page and the search entry and search
results pages.

We have tried to make it as clear as possible what
records are included in the database and how to obtain
copies of marriage records from IRAD or county clerks.
IRAD currently has marriage records from 61 of the 84
counties represented in the database and we will soon
accession marriage records from several others.
