You may try checking out the Illinois Archives. Start with this: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html Also on this page, don't forget to check out the Illinois Vital Records search links for marriages & deaths. (and, use spelling variations!!) Right below that, is "Records in IRAD" (Illinois Regional Archives Depository) Click "Local Govt Records in IRAD". Another new page, click on the left side, "Record Descriptions". On this page, you will see that "County Clerks" MAY have Liquor License info. At the BOTTOM of this page, click the IRAD Research Policy link. You will need to find which district you want to contact. Nice, that they will look, and you can receive documents, for free. But, don't be in a hurry........as it can take maybe 2 or 3 months before you hear from them. (quite busy, and done by volunteers). But, worth the effort to obtain information. (MAYBE) Hope this helps find some Illinois data. Richard
