Subject: Statewide searchable marriage index for Illinois
Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 08:25:59 -0700


You may have already seen this, but there is now a statewide searchable
marriage index for Illinois at:

http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html

PLEASE read the information about the index! It is NOT complete! 84 out of
102 counties have data, and only 43 of those are complete and ONLY for the
time frame specified. Check the detailed listing of counties before you
spend a lot of time searching for names in an incomplete county!

Note that Carroll and Whiteside Counties are complete for years 1839-1900.

I checked some of my families this morning and was able to complete a few
missing maiden names and found a couple marriages in Carroll County that I
thought had occurred in Ohio!
