Champaign, Illinois Newspaper Index, 1892

Located south of Chicago in central Illinois, Champaign is a sister town to the county seat of Urbana. This database is a collection of records originally published in the Champaign Daily Gazette and includes birth, marriage, and death notices. Each record reveals the individual's name, type of event, date of event, and location of event. In many cases, parents' names are provided, and siblings listed. Serving east-central Illinois for over 150 years, the "Gazette" was the source of news for the thousands of area residents. To researchers seeking Illinois ancestors, this can be a helpful source of information.
