(765 ILCS 5/29) (from Ch. 30, par. 28)
Sec. 29.
Where an original deed, mortgage or other instrument relating to
or affecting the title to real estate, having tracts of land therein
described lying in different counties, has been or may hereafter be
recorded in any of such counties, it shall be lawful to record a certified
copy of such deed or other instrument in counties where the original has
not been recorded; and the recording of such certified copy heretofore or
hereafter shall be notice in the same manner that the filing and the
recording of the original would be, and copies from such records shall be
prima facie evidence to the same extent as if the original had been so
recorded.
