History of DuPage County, Il. 1882

This database was drawn from the book, History of DuPage County, Ill. edited by Rufus Blanchard, 1882. There were 2 sets of page numbers used in the original edition, so I labeled the biographical one "B" and the front section "A". I tried to document the pages where the families were mentioned, except for the military lists. I made very few corrections, such as spelling changes for my own families. I hope this helps people who are out of the area and could not get access to the book otherwise.
