WELCOME
I'm Wini and I'm your host for Winnebago County. At Illinois Ancestors we like to use a
unique blend of genealogy and history. So not only do you find your ancestors but you will also
learn about the area in which they lived and worked.
We're a volunteer organization whose mission is to provide free genealogical data for all researchers.
If you have data that you'd like to share with researchers, I would love to put it online for everyone's benefit.
All contributors will be given credit and retain ownership
of the data they submit. Your information will never be used for profit in any way.
I'll add new data on a regular basis, so please come back often.
If you would like to contribute data, please email me anytime!
If you would like to join the Winnebago mailing list please contact me(above) and I'll sign you up!
Just let me know it's for Winnebago County.
The Winnebago & Boone Counties Genealogical Society exists to:
- Encourage and support genealogical researchers.
- Promote the discovering, collecting, indexing, and preserving of valued genealogical resources of Winnebago and Boone Counties.
- Encourage publication of county material and family histories.

NOTICE
We've started a tombstone project at Illinois Ancestors http://www.illinoisancestors.org/cemphotos/main.php
This website is designed to allow researchers to add their photos automatically! If you'd like to share your photos with fellow researchers, please contact me at winicaudell@yahoo.com We'll either set up an account for you so that you can add your own photos online or if you prefer you can send me the pictures and I'll put them on for you.
Winnebago County was formed in 1838 out of Jo Daviess and LaSalle Counties. It was named for the Winnebago tribe of Native Americans
