The following website lists Illinois Libraries with genealogy areas. Let me follow that statement, however, with the fact that it lists some of the libraries, not all. The URL is: www.eliillinois.org/ Look on the left side of the screen under "Library Information Sorted By...". Click on the fourth entry, "Special Collections in Illinois. On this screen, toward the right, click on "Geography & History". The next screen will list categories with libraries under each. Scroll down to GENEALOGY and libraries with genealogy collections are listed there. You can then click on the library name to get additional data, including the library's website address. I found this site quite by accident and discovered that a neighboring town had a genealogy collection in their library. All of 10 minutes away! There, I was able to find, at last, a reference in one of their books to one of my brickwalls!!! Jeanne
