Effingham County. Genealogy. Welcome to the Effingham County, Illinois Genealogy web site. My name is Linda (Kralman) Lambert. Even though I live in Arizona now (about 50 miles northwest of Phoenix) and have been here since 1972, I adopted the Effingham County GenWeb site in the spring of 1997. I was raised and educated in Teutopolis (3 miles east of Effingham).
Effingham County was created in 1777 from the colonial parishes of St. Matthew and St. Philip. Georgia's 4th county was named for Lord Effingham, an English nobleman who was a colonial rights advocate and who refused to take up arms against the revolutionaries. Effingham County is one of the oldest settlement areas in America.
