Hi everyone, I need some info about the Saline County Courthouse's policies regarding mail in requests for info and when you show up personally. Do they perform searches for you if you give an approx. date? Or do you need to know exact information? I was told that there is a $2 fee for records before 1900 from the County Clerks office, but what about records after 1900? What is the fee then? Also, for the Clerk of Circuit Court, do I mail my request to same address as the County Clerk's? Some counties use different P.O. Box's for these two offices. And does anyone know the fees? Finally, I'm planning on going to Saline County to do research in the next couple of months (my husband wants to go fishing). Do they allow you to search the records yourself or must you fill out a form, pay a fee, then wait for the one item like some counties are going too? Any help anyone can give me on doing research with Saline County in person and by mail would be much appreciated!

I wish I could help you but I would suggest going going to the State of Illinois page, Saline County for some answers. Probably a phone call could be more help.
