Speaking of Illinois Vital / Legal Records -- we had a lot of family movement between Kinmundy, Edgewood, and Effingham Co's -- and this reminded me, does anyone have any ideas as to how I might find information on an old ADOPTION? My Grandfather Harvey Hyde, b. Oct 7, 1879 (his true birthday), Marion Co, IL (he was told), was adopted as a toddler by (Sary) Sarah Wainscott Hyde and Ephriam Hyde in Kinmundy, Marion Co, IL, shortly after the 1880 US Census was taken. The family story was that Harvey was Ephriam's natural son. Are adoptions a local court house issue? Does it depend on the county? Do those records go to an IRAD Depository after a certain date? Could an adoption be done out-of-county -- there were Hyde-family lawyer-cousins in both Sangamon Co and St. Louis, MO. I've been reluctant to start down this road, because I simply don't-have-a-clue. Has anyone else tackled something like this? -- Sue On Apr 23, 2005, at 5:20 PM, Linda Lambert wrote: Illinois has lots of online genealogy resources.
