Use this page to comment or make suggestions.

Suggested improvements
Possible improvements to the Illinois County Creation Dates and Parent Counties page:
 * Carroll County needs the creation date, parent counties, and later counties added.


 * Question: Would the page be more helpful if the "proposed, extinct, and non-county areas" mentioned in Boundary Changes at Newberry Library site were added? Would the dates these [failed] counties were proposed be helpful if YOUR ancestor's lived in that area? Suggested by AdkinsWH 16:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) The pattern is simple to follow once you are in Wikitext on the page.
 * 2) This does require Wikitext and attention to the pattern of other counties.
 * 3) The page is in an easy-to-understand table format.
 * 4) Creating links to historical boundary changes will be needed.

Completed suggestions

 * Question: Would the page benefit by adding another column for which IRAD Depository has the historical records for each county? IRAD's added AdkinsWH 17:53, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) This does require Wikitext.
 * 2) Check the IRAD depository websites for a list of counties they the records for
 * 3) Add the link and the depository name in the IRAD column for that county (the column after the county name)
