http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/database.html They have added searchable regional databases. For our region they have: Records at Illinois State University DeWitt County Coroner's Inquest Files Index (1924 – 1977) Livingston County Probate Case Files Index (1937 – 1958) Logan County Circuit Court Criminal Case Files Index (1857 – 1945) McLean County Probate Record Index (1834 – 1934) Vermilion County Coroner's Inquest Files Index (1908 – 1956) Woodford County Almshouse Registers Index (1868 – 1957) Such fun! Discover your ancestor's criminal past. I'd much rather have had the probate files. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com
