Hi, I'm new to the list and would be pleased if someone could give me some assistance in locating a possible orbit for Jessie Alexander who died 13 November 1921 in Cook County, Chicago, as shown on the Illinois 1916-1950 death index. It seems possible that she may have been the Jessie Alexander (47 years) with husband Ebenezer Alexander (49 years), on the 1920 census living at 2219E 70th St, Prec 95, Chicago Ward 7, Cook, Illinois. I'm trying to find out what happened to this couple. Any help would be much appreciated. Betty Alford NSW AUSTRALIA

researchers, I have Edward NICHOLS died 1987 I need to find an obit on him I don't know where he lived his life last residence is 60409 (Calumet City, Cook, IL) please point me in the right direction thanks & take care, Debbie

researchers, I have Roy NICHOLS died 12 July 1945 I need to find an obit on him they lived in Bloom Twp I think they were in Chicago Heights please point me in the right direction I'm looking for his children thanks & take care, Debbie

researchers, I have a new e-mail address and I am still looking for Mary WEIN Mary was born 23 July 1874 in Indiana, she was baptized in St. John's Church in St. John, in Lake Co, IN she may have married a man with the surname ESDALE the marriage information is from my grandfathers notes and I can't prove or disprove it she was last found in the 1880 census with her family there is no marriage for her in Lake County before 1920 her 3 sisters were married and lived (for a time ) in Cook Co, IL I have a strong suspicion that she lived in Cook Co all but 1 sibling lived in Cook Co, IL if you have any information on her please contact me thanks & take care, Debbie Alley debbiealley@earthlink.net

This is one of those things that wouldn't be obvious if you're used to living in---and certainly researching in---smaller places. But Cook County does not permit researchers direct access to records. It does kind of get obvious if you think about it: it's a county of 3 million people and the number of records one would expect therefrom. Not only would allowing direct access be utter chaos, but it would require more staff than the county can afford for the purpose just to watch people and make sure they don't screw up or steal the records, intentionally or otherwise. Even for non-genealogical purposes---wanting, say, a copy of your own marriage certificate---the rules are you fill out the form (whether by mail or in person), fork over the cash, and the results will be mailed to you. Not only do you not get to look, but they will *not* do the lookup "while you wait." --pig On 2/23/07 20:47, "JL" <joanne.l@worldnet.att.net> wrote: > > > Is there any one on this list that does lookups at the Cook County Court > House??? > > JL > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > COOK-CO-IL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Marion; The collection at Ancestry is called /Chicago Irish Families, 1875-1925/. However, when I Googled ""/Chicago's Irish Families 1830-1900/", I found a page which had it hot-linked. (www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/8088/aa.html). That hot-link, in-turn, took me back to the aforementioned DB on Ancestry. In re /The Irish at Home and Abroad/, try www.ireland.com/ancestor/magazine/articles/iha_placenames.htm Cheers, Masugu

The online marriage indexes http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/marrlst.html show that they are starting to go beyond this date. Some counties have up to 1925. Unfortunately, Cook County is not one of them.

I’ve “rescued” a group of old photographs belonging to the GILBERT, HIETT, and BUCHANAN Families of Ohio and Indiana.  Based on limited research I was able to locate information regarding the family and have included my notes along with information regarding each of the four photographs below: • Sarah Eleanor GILBERT, M.

There isn't one. The state of Illinois has a law that puts a non-floating 75 year cap on marriage indexes--the last year available, I believe, is 1916.
