The Advancing Genealogist

If you have interest in Lake County, Illinois, historical and genealogical research, check out the newest items on my Lake County, Illinois: Resources Online page. Some online resources are free to access, other items are on subscription databases. Additions include links to Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, a growing number of digitized local newspapers, and various yearbooks for companies at the naval training center at Great Lakes. Those with Deerfield or West Deerfield Township settlers will want to look at the variety of digitized records relating to that location, such as poll books and voter registers. I add resources often, so periodically check the page for new items. I hope that you find something to enrich your research!
