Write to the Stephenson County Genealogical Society, PO Box 514, Freeport, IL 61032-0514. They have most of the birth, marriage, and death records. If you are coming from out of town they may make special arrangements to help you on a Saturday. <<< <Kmann@ra.rockwell.com> 1/20 7:53p >>> Hi! I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer.... 1) Do marriage records from the late 1890's list names of parents? I have a couple of fancy certificates, written in German from marriages in Freeport, that don't list parents, but I'm wondering if they were issued by the church and the county records might have more info? 2) What happened to the records from St. John's (I believe it was E&R) that burned in the late 1950's? Any chance they survived? 3) Is there a place where I can do birth, marriage, death, naturalization or census searches on the weekend? Thanks!!!
