Whiteside County, Illinois--Genealogy

A genealogist learns to love places as well as people. Whiteside County, Illinois is one of those places for me. Even though I live in St. Paul, Minnesota, a part of my soul lives in Whiteside County.  It is the heart of my STILL, JOHNSON, and MASON research, and I feel as close to the history of that county as I do the history of my family. In fact, I have gone through my Whiteside County resource books so often, I feel kinship with all the families there. I am a member of the Whiteside County Genealogists, and have many printed resources in my personal library. All but one of them (# 4) were purchased from the Whiteside County Genealogical Society .  The 1850 U.S. Census  - Whiteside County, Illinois (#4) was purchased from S-K Publications. I would be happy to assist you with your Whiteside County questions.  A list of those resources follows:
