Back in June, I was told by a staff member of the Cook County Department of Vital Records that the databases would be updated with several hundred thousand records sometime in late August or September.  But this is the same office whose Department head told me, prior to the site's launch, that the records would only cost $7.  Guess we'll just have to wait and see.   Ruth --- On Mon, 8/17/09, Jackye Sullins <jsullins@roadrunner.com> wrote: From: Jackye Sullins <jsullins@roadrunner.com> Subject: [IL-COOK-CHICAGO] Vital Records Index Update? To: il-cook-chicago@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, August 17, 2009, 10:00 AM I've posted to the Cook County list with no response so I'll try here. There hasn't been an update to the online county clerk's BMD index for over a year now.  I've written them with no reply and wonder if anyone has had more success.  There are still big gaps.
