The DeKalb County [Illinois] Circuit Clerk’s Office is working with Genealogical FamilySearch of Utah, a nonprofit corporation sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, to complete the project, according to a news release from the office. The project is being done at no cost to the courts or the public.
These records currently are stored off-site, according to the news release, and the project will will allow the Circuit Clerk’s office to make these records immediately available upon request.
The conversion is expected to be completed in 10 months.
