function DbInfoDescription() { document.write('<p>Original voter registration lists were thought to be unavailable for Chicago   and Cook County. Most of the old lists were supposed to be either destroyed   or in warehouses, inaccessible to the public. However, in the late 1980s an   amateur genealogist found 20 ledgers in the back room of the Voter Registration   department at the County Building. Recorded in these ledgers were several hundred   thousand voters for the years 1888, 1890, and 1892, covering the city of Chicago   and some other areas within Cook County, Illinois. The 1888 index covered the   city of Chicago as wellas the city of Lake View, town of lake, and the village   of Hyde Park. These municipalities became part of the city of Chicago on July   15, 1889. The time period covered is very important because the 1890 federal   census is not available, thus we have included this database in our <i>1890   Census Substitute Collection</i>.</p><p>The handwritten ledgers were microfilmed by the Illinois State Archives. Ancestry.com   has used these 25 microfilm rolls to create an electronic index of this valuable   collection. Fields in the original index include: names of individuals, nativity   (country of birth), date and place of naturalization; term of residence in precinct,   county, and state; current address. This electronic index lists name and nativity.   Once a name is found you will then be able to view the electronic image of the   index. Due to the age of the originals and/or the microfilming of the paper   ledgers, many pages of the index was not legible enough to convert to electronic   text, and have thus been omitted.</p><p>Taken from <i>Section Thirty-Five: Voter Registration Lists and Tax Records,   Chicago and Cook County: A Guide to research</i> by Loretto Dennis Szucs (Salt   Lake City, UT: Ancestry Incorporated, 1996).</p>'); }
