Hi, I', Kathy. We have done a lot of research in Greene Co, Ill. You will find ledger books at the county court house in Carrollton, Ill. There are newspapers in White Hall and in Carrollton which did mention marriages. Both White Hall and Carrollton libraries have old newspaper tapes and readers. You can find addresses and phone numbers in the Greene County web pages for Ill. Springfield, the capital has the archieves and does inter library loans of tapes. Have your library contact the Springfield archieves and they can get a catalog of what they have to offer. Your library may already have the catalog. Hope this helps.
