Hi all! Just wanted to let everyone know of 2 terrific sites for IL research, some may already know of these, but for others, this may be completely new information: Pape Funeral Home http://www.papefuneral.com This site has TONS of death info for folks who died or are buried in Vermilion County, IL, especially the town of Danville. I found info on my HUPP/HUBB line here. IL State Archives http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/archives.html Follow the link for "Genealogical Research" and from there follow the link for "Databases" at the top of the page (underneath the picture of the man's face) to see all the databases they have online! TONS of info: military records, marriage records, death records, land records, servitude and emancipation records, and tons of IRAD holdings. I just recently found tons of information on my COVENTRY and HUPP ancestors in IL as well as WILDER, WORTHEY and others. For death and marriage (and maybe others), they give certificate number as well as names, dates, and locations. Good luck! ===== Erin Bradford eabradfo@yahoo.com http://www.usgennet.org/usa/nc/county/cabarrus/ http://www.usgennet.org/usa/nc/county/mecklenburg/ ALHN County Coordinator for Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Cos, NC http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~kshai (The Genealogy Depository) Listowner Barringer Black Bradford Coventry Eller Hackett Hupp and Kern __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
