ILLINOIS STATE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

ANGEL PROJECT

Your heavenly genealogical network is up and ready to go!  We are offering you an opportunity to be a "Genealogy Angel".

We all know how important and valuable microfilm resources are in our research. Through the ANGEL PROGRAM, ISGS will purchase microfilmed county records for the Illinois State Archives and the Illinois Regional Archive Depositories (IRAD) throughout the represented regions in Illinois. These microfilmed records will be available for your use in researching your families when you visit one of the IRAD facilities or the Archives itself.

Some of the microfilms which have already been purchased for various counties include: Coroner's Records 1871-1918; Birth Records 1877 and beyond; Marriages, both pre and post 1900; and Soldiers & Sailors discharge records. The Archives wish list is quite large, so we need help!!

We would love to have you dust off your halo and become a "Genealogy Angel"!  Each roll of microfilm costs $40.00.  Of course, with your permission, your tax deductible donation will be recognized in an upcoming ISGS Newsletter (Just drop us a note or email if you wish to remain anonymous).

Both the staff at the Illinois State Archives and the members of the ISGS Governing Board will be "eternally" grateful for your assistance!

Or, if you don't want to donate online, you may print this page, complete the form, and return with your check made payable to Illinois State Genealogical Society, Attn: Angel Project, P.O. Box 10195, Springfield, IL 62791-0195
