County Courthouse
(should be removed unless the county courthouse info cannot be contained within the county info box)

Ethnic Groups
(When there are significant records available for ethnic groups in a county, this topic and all it's subtopics should be moved to above Places / Localities and become Level 2 and 3 headings.)

What's the magic number?

I liked this idea immediately when someone mentioned it in Contributors' Meeting yesterday. What constitutes "significant records available?" That is, how would a contributor know when to move the Ethnic Groups section out of the Resources section to become a heading on the same level as Resources? It reminds me of fifth grade when my teacher was teaching me how to write an outline. She taught me rules around how many items are required before they get their own heading. I think the magic number was three. Then years later my ninth-grade teacher said it only takes one. So what's our magic number? RitcheyMT 19:20, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Military
(IRAD has an index to collections for six different wars, plus records for Soldiers and Sailors home, etc. See the list of Databasesof Illinios Vetererans to see what wars and what records exist.)

War of 1812
(This should appear in St. Clair and Randolph County pages, and any counties with soldiers listed in the Database of Illinois War of 1812 Veterans.)

Probate
(Remember to check the Illinois, Probate Records, 1819-1970 to see if this county has digitized probate records available.)
