Title

Official Site of Illinois Trails History and Genealogy

Description

Carol Dean and Susan Cook began volunteering as hosts with their Jackson County Illinois website in 1998. Response to the online data provided was overwhelming and they decided to organize for the ALHN project and expand into Illinois State data as well. As the project grew, the two decided to move toward an independent project and asked for volunteers from ALHN as well as other individuals, to continue as an independent group. The domain www.iltrails.org was purchased by Susan, the .org representing "not for profit" vs .com, which has been known as a "for profit" extension on the web and the project was on it's way. Guidelines were set and many were interested in volunteering. As Illinois Trails History and Genealogy grew, our reputation did as well. Known for providing free online data and respecting Copyright laws, the project was known as an ethical not for profit organization.

Early in 2006 a decision was made by some of our hosts to start a nation wide site. While there was some confusion for a short time during the move, iltrails.org never changed and today remains strong, viable and the best free site on the web. We wish them the best with their new project. We look forward to the continued good faith of our researchers and as always applaud our volunteers who work tirelessly to help make this site a valuable research tool for so many.
