My name is Janine Crandell and I am your host for this county, rich in heritage. Many generous researchers have provided a combination of historical and genealogical data that will hopefully help you in your research.  Claire Crandell (co-webmaster) and I will add data regularly, so please visit often.

We would love to hear from you! Only together can we make this website a great place where we can find out about our ancestors in Peoria County. If you have data that you would like to contribute, all of our ancestors would be indebted to you!

Tip: You can use * before or after a portion of a name
to find other possible spellings.

 
 

We're always on the lookout for old scrapbooks! The kind in
which your relative placed newspaper clippings of wedding
announcements & obituaries. They're an extremely valuable
source of genealogy information. If you find any gathering
dust in your attic and don't know what to do with them,
we'll put them to good use.

   
 

In Memory of John Melton 1954-2011
A fine and honorable man...we'll miss you
and your wonderful surprise visits to our home.
