I wonder if you could look up a naturalization record for John SYKES who lived in Whiteside from the 1850's until his death 9 Apr 1890? He was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England 14 Nov 1818. Thank you.

Kathryn, Odell Public Library in Morrison has a genealogy room with many resources. I have been there only twice, but found much valuable information in an index to Whiteside Co. marriage licenses 1839-1916, newspaper marriages and obits 1908-1930, indexes and extracts of US and state censuses of Whiteside Co., county cemetery records, 1890 tax list, Whiteside Co. Civil War lists, and much more. Perhaps others on this list can name more important resources. I don't know about resources in Sterling.
