Thank you to everyone who wrote with very generous offers to pick up the cert for me and with advice (unknown...what a great idea!) on how to try one more time on my own. I appreciate that you all took the time to help me. And Mary, yes, that's the Robert A. I'm looking for. I've found the IL census you talk about. I am now looking to connect him with a particular Robert Craig STEARMAN. Of course, with any 'Irish luck' Robert A's death cert will list his father's full name...right? Don't worry....I'm not holding my breath. Thank you very much.....wish me luck! jamie ----- Original Message ----- > > I use "?" and "Unknown" to get past questions >> Jamie Hunter wrote: >> I have been trying for 2 years now, to order the death cert of Robert A. >> STEARMAN died March 4, 1938.
