Chandra, Contact Sandy Leitheiser, County Clerk, Montgomery County Courthouse, PO box 595, Hillsboro, Illinois, 62049. All birth/death certificates cost $10 per name and the ten is not refundable if it is or IS NOT recorded. Birth or death certificates are not always available for certain dates. Her phone number is 217-532-9530. Before a certain date in Illinois, they were not required to be filed. Sorry, do not know the date. Barbara Heflin at the Secretary of States office at the Archives in Springfield can provde some records for some dates. IRAD can provide some, but not if the County won't permit them to do so. The county makes a bundle off what should be public records. You can go to the courthouse and ask to see it; if a death certificate is not sealed by the court, it should be avaialble to the public. Same as birth amd Marriage records. THAT is part of the purpose of their recording. Rev. Dewey Leon Everts Jr.
