Master Every Name Index
Since the birth of the Master Every Name Index in 1977, this database has grown to include 800,000 entries from nearly 250 Kane County resources.
This mammoth index has been produced from the work of members and friends of the society indexing private and public records allowing the Kane County researcher to quickly access available references. The intent of the index has been to encompass all communities within the boundaries of Kane County, Illinois.
Resources indexed include:
· Kane County Naturalization, Marriage, Guardianship, and Probate records
· All 5 county histories dating from 1878 to 1908
· Census records, including the 1840, 1850, 1860 federal censuses and the 1865 Illinois state census
· Cemetery inscriptions from over 50 county cemeteries
· Community and organization histories
· Kane County Gazeteers and church histories
· School, bible and funeral home records
