Welcome to the '''[[Illinois]] [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject|WikiProject]]!''' We welcome contributors here. We are focusing on the county pages for the '''102 '''current counties of Illinois and the '''1 county''' (Dane) that was active for a short time and which no longer exist. We have built a foundation for a county page, with record type headings.

There are 102counties in Illinois currently, and one defunct county - Dane County - which no longer exist. Pages have already been created for every county, and headings for a basic outline of record types have been added.
