Hi List, Can anyone help me find how or where to get birth certificates and marriage certificates or applications of people who are still alive? Is this possible? How or where do I find a birth certificate of someone who is not alive, but the exact date of birth or birth place isn't known? How or where do I find marriage and divorce information if only one name is known without the specific dates or places? I have been told that Illinois didn't require birth registration prior to 1916 and some of the information I am looking for would be prior to 1916. Also I have been told that marriages/divorces prior to 1962 have to come from the county they occurred in. If this holds true, then can someone direct me to a source that might be able to help me find the county if it isn't in the one I think it is? I am looking for my information in Logan, McLean and Sangamon counties. If you receive this as a duplication, I apologize. I need contact information for all three. Thank you in advance, Sharon
