Dear Nancy, I, too, am frustrated with the Lake County information available before the turn of the century (1848-1906). I have found my family (STAFFORD) in the census but cannot find Oakwood-Waukegan cemetery records. Or BMD before the one 1906 d. record I have. Do you know about this Oakwood? Do you know of sources other than courthosue for BMD? Have you run across peripheral relatives' names MILLEN or TRATT? Where is Wauconda? Thank you.
