ALL OF THE EARLY BELLEVILLE DIOCESE ONES ARE ONLINE. Maybe up to 1930, I didn't check. Maybe up to the last full book before 1930. - http://search.labs.familysearch.org in the email below. If someone would be able to translate them and put them into a searchable data base, that would be wonderful. -----Original Message----- From: ilclinto-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ilclinto-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Frank B.
