After doing some more death record searching, I discovered Kane County is only available for a few years (not up on the screen, but I think it ended in 1882). Then it came back to me after all these years, when I went to the court house years ago I was told they had lost all records for some reason -- possibly a fire or something. So there will be no death certificate. I guess I need something else. Maybe a cemetery index or burial index, but I don't recall these even existing. Yes, now the frustration I had felt comes back to me. Grr. Oh, I did find the marriage record for Anna Reichl and Charles Brown indexed. Will have to send to IRAD for that. At least one bit of good news. Thank you for your help. Don Feldbruegge ==== GERMAN-BOHEMIAN Mailing List ==== Visit the German-Bohemian Heritage Society Web Page! http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/
