The most recent date for a publication by them was in the 1960s and their address was still Illinois. I forget the exact town.. They apparently published a number of genealogical works including the multivolume "The Compendium of American Genealogy, First Families of America beginning in the 1930s. The reference department of your nearest good-sized library may be able to help you further. Also you yourself may want to search for "The Institute of American Genealogy" on the search engines I mentioned plus some of the others. Different search engines often turn up different sites for the same search topic. If what you are interested in is the book you mentioned, you may find it on microfilm through your nearest LDS Family History Center. Good luck. jututtle@aol.com (John Tuttle)
