The new Illinois Ancestor Registry is finished. The URL is http://tn-3.rootsweb.com/~marce/ilar/index.html You can register surnames for your Illinois ancestors and/or search for them. If one of your surnames is Clark or Smith or something like that you might want to think about it but if it is less common then this can be a good tool. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com
