Hi, I would be sure to stop at the FossilRidge Library in Braidwood. The Will-Grundy Gen. Soc. has a room there and their own copies of microfilm of the county records. There are family pedigrees there that can be found NOWHERE else!! Any of the librarians can open the room for you. Their hours are different in the summer, so I would call ahead. If you'd like, I can call my cousin who lives there, and he can forward the summer hours. Besides, there is a school playground on the backside of the library where your kids can run off steam. [This is NOT the case at SouthSuburban, which is slap-downtown South Holland, Illinois.] SouthSuburban is more for south COOK county than for Will county. I've been to BOTH and for Will cty, I'd go to Braidwood! If not Braidwood, I've had good luck at the Joliet Public Library, although I was looking for a *specific item* which I knew they had. Have you tried the Will County GenWeb site? They have GIF maps of the county, etc. Since you already know where in Will cty your need info, you can zero in on that location. You might even find the cemeteries where your folks are buried. Do NOT underestimate the power of the county GenWeb sites!
