Your Coles County Host is Kim Torp, and I try to update these pages often, so be sure to check back often to see
what new data has been added.
Illinois Genealogy Trails is an ALL VOLUNTEER not-for-profit group whose members strive to post as much raw genealogical
data online as possible. Within these pages you will find all kinds of "raw data" to help you in researching
your family lines.
Much of the information has been data I've found in my own research or which has been transcribed and donated to
Illinois Genealogy Trails by researchers just like you. We gratefully accept contributions of obituaries, marriage/death/birth/cemetery
records, census excerpts or other raw data dealing with Coles County, so anything you have (following all copyright
laws), send it to
KimmySueT@aol.com
IMPORTANT: I am not a professional researcher!!
My family surnames in Coles county are the
Ellis HICKS, Elston WRIGHT, Slingsby LINTHICUM, William THOMPSON family lines.
All the rest of any Coles County information I have is presented here on
these pages.
I regret that I am unable to
perform personal research for anybody.

Message from the Webmaster
Please understand that, while I do have a genealogical connection to Coles
County,
I am not a resident there. I do not have records or data with which I could
supply you information about your ancestors. Further, I cannot do research on
your behalf.
