Over the years the Society has worked on a number of projects. Some have been completed, some are still in progress, and still others are waiting in the wings. Nothing would be accomplished without our volunteers.
To become a volunteer, call the Genealogy Room at 847-918-3584, send an email to LCIGS1170@gmail.com for information, or ask a volunteer in the Genealogy Research Room.
