County Coordinator My name is Joe Markovich. I am the coordinator for the ILGenWeb Rock Island County Illinois web site. To volunteer to host an Illinois county, please visit the adoptable county page and then contact the appropriate regional coordinator . The Rock Island county site is among 5 other Illinois county sites in which I am the coordinator. The map on the left shows the county locations within the state and the proximity to each other. Rock Island county is shown in blue, located in the Western most part of the state. |
Site Navigation
The main site navigation is through the tree on the left hand of the screen. The tree is arranged by topics and sub-topics. Sub-topics are accessible by clicking on any topic that has a + sign next to it. Alternately, each page of this web site contains a navigation box on the bottom. The site can be scrolled through one page at a time or directly scrolled to the last page and then back to the very first page. The total number of pages, called articles, in the Rock Island site are also shown in the navigation box.
How the ILGenWeb Started
In June, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Indiana Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more that one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, some volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. Eventually, this was expanded to all states and all counties across the US.
I am unable to do your personal research. I do not live in Rock Island county or in Illinois and I do not have access to additional records. If you do not see the information you are seeking in this site, I do not have it as everything I have is posted in this site.
