Adams County, Illinois Genealogy

The Quincy Public LIbrary Newspaper Archive is a great resource for births, marriages, deaths, and a variety of interesting family details from 1835 through 1919. When families had out of town guests or made visits out of the community, it may have been mentioned in the "Notes from Nearby" section. Legal notices and mentions of crop failures or outbreaks of certain diseases are also published. The archive is indexed and searchable, and linked to images of the actual pages. You can view either the article alone, or the entire page where it appears.

Newspapers included in the archive:
