The Lee County Genealogical Society

The Lee County Genealogical Society was founded in 1994 and is dedicated to the purpose of promoting awareness of family history and helping people in their genealogical research. The society is a not-for-profit organization, relying on work by volunteers and individual donations to help pay expenses.

The "Family Tree Center" is located at 111 South Hennepin Avenue in Dixon, Illinois. The Center is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and on Thursday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The hours vary on holiday weeks so it may be best to call and check our hours if you plan to visit (815-288-6702). Please call during open hours.

Databases

As I stated in a previous post, I'm aware of a problem with the databases. For example if you search for the surname Smith and click the next button it goes to the beginning of the alphabet. To help narrow your searches you can enter your search like this. If you are looking for Joe Smith type the word Smith into the Surname Field and the letter J followed by the % sign. So you would type in j% in the Given name field. This will return all names that start with the letter J. You could also type jo% and it will return all names that start with jo%.
I work really hard on this database and website. I don't have nearly the amount of time that I would like to spend making it better. It is frustrating when things don't work the way they are suppose to and receiving bitter emails with complaints only makes me wonder if it is worth the effort. I probably won't be able to dedicate time to really digging into the problem until the week after Christmas.
