really!!!!.... oh yuck! they are claiming the presentation as THEIRS....! Source: Illinois Marriages, 1763-1900. Family Tree Legends Records Collection (Online Database). Pearl Street Software, 2004-2005. I think i would RATHER go to the source that is CONTROLLING it.... and the SOURCEis a FREE, no registration required on line index as well! michael, just how would such a group go about GETTING this info from the state.... do you think htat they actually did some code work to GET it.. or do you think that they purchased it(? hummmmm) i dont doubt YOUR analysis for one single minute... i DO however, doubt secondary sources when they do not state clearly that they are REMANUFACTURING information from another more authoritarian site... i think that http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/ (and then click DEPARTMENTS for their great! options! THANK YOU JESSE WHITE!) would be the better, more dependable way to go and then if i needed further details i would ask aliceF or SPRINGFIELDmolly www.mollx.com to GET me MY STUFF...
