The Year Ahead – December 3

In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine, they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research plan.

December 3 – Illinois became the 21st state on this day in 1818. Search probate, military, vital and land records at the state archives www.ilsos.gov/departments/archives/databases/home.html

This archive seems to have a lot of information. I decided to see if I could find marriage records for the surname of Filipiak, since I know my husband’s family came from Illinois. The search is only for an index, where it gives the groom and brides name, date, license number and county. I would have to do more research to see if the information is for his family. This could help open doors with names that I might not otherwise find.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
