Sharon, I have found loads of info at the Gail Borden library. They have newspapers, census, city directories, etc on microfilm/fisch(?) and many books. I would try and schedule an appt with one of the historians so they can acquaint you with what is available. Gail Borden url: http://www.elgin.lib.il.us/ I have yet to use some of the other places people were recommending just a month ago on this list so I cannot advise.
