Your suggestion is one I had no idea about. I am most grateful. I have not made it to a LDS FHC yet. As I understand it I would have to request the microfilms before I go to visit. Is that correct? Thanks for your response. Doug "Joel S. Russell" <jsruss@mindspring.com> wrote: Hi Doug, How close are you to an LDS FHC? The have mircofilmed copies of the Grantor/Grantee index to land records of Perry County, IL 1827-1890; as well as microfilm copies of the deed themselves from 1827-1950. Another possibility is to contact IRAD, but I'm not sure if they have the Grantor/Grantee indexes for Perry County. You might also try contacting the County Courthouse and ask them about the availability of a search of the Grantor/Grantee indexes. Perry County Perry County Clerk and Recorder P.O.
