For those of you needing copies of Madison County records, don't forget to check the Illinois Archives website. I have been having very good experiences with the IRAD facility at Carbondale. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/irad/iradaddr.html Click on IRAD Holdings to see what they have for Madison county. Click on Databases to see online records. This is a whole lot easier than visiting courthouses.
