An excellent idea, Lee Anne, one I followed through on several years ago. As County Corodinator of Jersey County at the time, I asked for and received all the death records they had for Jersey, which entailed many legal size pages that were mailed to me. After I typed and put them online, I copied them, made a book and donated to IRAD so others would have access to the information instantly. IRAD interns are great and I consider them the #1 place to go for research if they have the records in the Archives that you need. Just check their holdings for the county in question. In fact, Dan Dixon, the President of the Sangamon County Genealogical Society was once an intern at IRAD and was a great help to me many times.
