Illinois Genealogy Finds Roots Run Deep
Typically, finding where a person came from begins at their current destination and tracing their progress in reverse. Such is the case of genealogy as people pretty much know where they are and how they came to be there, but they might continue to retrace the steps of their ancestors to learn not only how they got there, but why. In Illinois, genealogy often takes people back to the years just prior or after the Great Depression, and through the subsequent years of the growth of Chicago. Their search, however rarely ends in the Windy City.
