Hi, my name is Jane Kolar and I am new to the Sangamon Co list and am researching Peacock, Cornman, Landes, & Scott or Porter. Information was only provided for my line of Peacocks-I have more. If you have any information that you'd like to share, I'd appreciate it. I would be happy to share what I have also. I am planning a research trip to Springfield for November. So far, I am planning to visit the courthouse (vital records), Lincoln Library, Sangamon Gen Society, and the IL Archives. If you have any advice or information on these places or could suggest better places to research, I would really appreciate it. I am mostly looking for vital records, obits and any newspaper archives that are available. Does anyone know if the Lincoln Library has local history books/resources or should I try a Springfield Public library (are they the same?)?
