- Old directory volumes and past residents: see the Belleville city directory collections
- Finding or verifying one person: see the Belleville resident lookup walkthrough
- The offices behind the rolls: see Belleville resident records offices
- Records not available online: send a focused request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act to the named custodian
