ILGenWeb Eastern Region Mail List A list for researchers whose interests lie in the eastern region of Illinois. Perhaps your ancestors overlapped several of these counties? For instance, Champaign County was originally part of Vermilion County, so your ancestors may have started out in Vermilion but wound up in Champaign. This list was started for researchers whose interests lie in more than one of the eastern region counties.
