Welcome to Bureau County
Illinois
History and Genealogy
Hi, my name is Nancy Piper and I am the host for
Putnam, Bureau, LaSalle and Marshall Counties. My ancestors came to
Illinois over 150 years ago and settled in the tiny village of Florid, which
is no longer even a name on a map. I've always been a "history buff"
and these pages let me help share the world my "findings". On
these pages you will find the information pertaining to the history of
Bureau County. Our goal is to have available free of charge
as much information as possible and will be adding continuously to these
pages, so check back often.
