Monroe County, IL Genealogy Home Welcome to Monroe County, IL Genealogy This county is adoptable. See this webpage for more information if you are interested. Note: some of these links will take you to a Rootsweb site. Unfortunately, Rootsweb has posted the following information recently: Mailing Lists Archives (last updated in 2020) will be retired on 6 April 2023 and migrated to an alternative, free platform. Once migration is complete, we’ll provide a link to them on the RootsWeb home page. WorldConnect family trees (last updated on 9 August 2021) will be retired on 15 April 2023 and migrated to Ancestry as a new free-access collection later in the year. For help removing a tree or its content, contact us. Hosted websites will become read-only beginning in early 2024. At that time, all logins will be disabled, but hosted sites will remain on RootsWeb as static content. Website owners wishing to maintain their sites must migrate to a different hosting provider before 2024. Welcome to the Monroe County ILGenWeb Project website. The ILGenWeb project is seeking new volunteers to assist it in developing county, and town project sites. If you have some spare time and are interested in history and genealogy and like helping others find their ancestors, please let them know. See ILGenWeb Adoption Information for more information! A County website such as this is made up of many different volunteers who have provided genealogy data, sometime countywide, but most of the time specific to their family research within Monroe county. It is these contributions that have made this county website what it is today. Search this site powered by FreeFind CLICK HERE FOR MORE SEARCH OPTIONS - INCLUDING WHAT’S NEW?
