Possible improvements to the Illinois County Creation Dates and Parent Counties page: Suggested by AdkinsWH 16:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 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?
 * 1) This does require Wikitext. The pattern is simple to follow once you are in Wikitext on the page.
 * 2) The page is in an easy-to-understand table format
 * 3) Creating links to historical boundary changes will be needed.


 * Question: Would the page benefit by adding another column for which IRAD Depository has the historical records for each county?
 * 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)
