Lake County Genealogy Records Index


Search for your family's birth, death, and marriage records by using the Clerk's online record index. The index was compiled from microfilmed and paper indexes of the very oldest Lake County records prior to January 1, 1916. Records newer than January 1, 1916 are not included.

To begin your search, select a record type and enter a last name (at least 5 letters are required if searching a partial name). The first name and date/year are optional. If more than 20 records are found, only the first 20 will be shown.

Genealogy copies may be ordered by using the convenient online request forms at the bottom of your results page.
