Rock Island County Clerk Karen Kinney wants to help residents trace their family trees by providing searchable indexes of genealogical birth, marriage, and death records online for free. The County Clerk’s Office has been keeping these records for over 185 years! The search below will help you find the index information for any full record that might exist in the County Clerk’s office.

The information contained in these records is quite revealing about our past. Such information included on full records includes occupations, residences, cause of death, spouses, bride’s and groom’s parents, burials, and more. And you can now gain access with just a few keystrokes and clicks below!  All physical copies of birth, marriage, and death records have been scanned, and preserved in special acid-free envelopes to prevent deterioration.

The County Clerk’s office offers $5 “genealogical copy” records that are without certification and printed on regular white paper, rather than charge the full $15 for certified copies. Click here to download the purchase application for a "genealogical copy" ($5 per record).
