FYI: Thanks to Cheryl Rothwell [email protected] Logan County, IL, Coordinator, ILGenWeb You may not be aware that the State Archives is working on a pre 1916 death index. The work is being done by volunteers and will take a very long time. Remember, there are a lot of folks who died before 1916 who didn't get a death certificate. But if they did eventually it should be in the database.
