IRAD is one of the most awesome resources I've seen, when it comes to obtaining copies of original doc's. A lot of their records are indexed on-line (a lot more are not, though, at least not yet.) Here is their URL: http://cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html There are also pages telling how to contact them for copies of this-n-that. They will do look-ups for free, and only charge 25 cents / page for stuff they do find. Details available on-site. Happy hunting!!
