Illinois Church Records
- Illinois, Diocese of Belleville, Catholic Parish Records, 1695-1956
A help guide for accessing the images of parish registers recording the events of baptism, first communion, confirmation (to 1907), marriage (to 1930) or death (to 1956) in the Diocese of Belleville (Illinois), Roman Catholic Church. The index to some volumes may reference pages within a given volume beyond current publication dates. As such, these images are not currently available. In addition to traditional parish registers, this collection includes a small number of census, church history, family and financial records. To assist the researcher I have broken down the available registers by county and name of parish, including the years covered by those parish records. - Illinois Methodist Church Records
The following collection of material reflects 250 churches of the Methodist faith which have closed their doors since 1824 in southern and central Illinois. This region makes up the Illinois Great Rivers United Methodist Conference. While the vast majority of the information relates to membership rolls and registers of officials, many of the churches also kept vital records of their members. Ancestry claims that “Baptism records are available until 1914, and Marriage records are available until 1970.” In fact I found baptism records which occurred after 1914, however, they’re not indexed. They appear in the records on the images only.

Where do i begin? my mother was a born agin christian before 1956
trying to find some churches or belief organizations she may have been familiar with.
the existential angst the 50s didn’t help some believers and fear of the chicago witchcraft communities as well a the new belief systems that evolved during and after wwII….
am looking for pastors who know of spiritual communities of the 40s & 50s
