Finding the Institution and Its Records

  • Illinois State Genealogy Society (map)

Webinar

In this two-hour workshop, we will discuss the complicated research process regarding institutional records: how to find long-gone institutions that our ancestors may have been residents in; the records that these orphanages, asylums, maternity homes, sanitariums, penitentiaries, and more institutions left behind; how to locate existing records from these institutions; and gain access to them. This workshop will include examples and a Q&A.
