The Statewide Pre 1916 Death Index is now online. Unfortunately, very few counties are done. To see what is available go to: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/deathlst.html Keep in mind that this is a volunteer effort and it is going to take some time to get it all done. Also, death certificates are erratic before 1916. Some people got them and some didn't. There doesn't seem to be any logic to who did and who didn't.
