You can order the death certificate from Cynthia Richardson at chicagogenealogy@comcast.net for $5.  She has great turn-around service.   The most you can expect, however, is to confirm that it is your Nils/Nels, probably by the street address.  The names of the parents did not begin to appear on death certificates until 1909.  You could try to locate the church where he was baptized, as the parents names would be recorded there.   Ruth --- On Mon, 3/16/09, Donna <dkcooper6@comcast.net> wrote: From: Donna <dkcooper6@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [IL-COOK-CHICAGO] Nils Hanson To: il-cook-chicago@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, March 16, 2009, 2:18 PM Ruth Susmarski wrote: > The 1900 Census indicates Nils was born in the month the Census was taken (June). > > The Illinois Death Index has a listing for the following, which may be your Nils: > > HANSEN, NELS C > Died: July 21, 1900 > Age: 1 Month > Death Certificate #: 7359 > > > Ruth > Thanks Ruth, I'll have to see about getting this and see if it gives any information.
