Illinois Family History Research: Place Names of Each Illinois County A list on one (very long) page of every town and township in Illinois, grouped by county. This would be most helpful in determining which county one's ancestors lived in if you are faced with common names for towns... since it was common for the same town name to be repeated in several counties. Use your Ctrl/F keys to search for the town you need... most would be surprized at the high number of multiple listings for a town name. Added May 2002
