My primary area of research is northern Illinois and have found the Illinois sites to be generally very accurate. Of course, as in any research source, there will be occasional errors. The LDS Library has a large collection of actual marriage license documents for Ogle Co., IL on microfilm and I find them to agree with the online records consistantly.
