Back in pre computer days(1980's)I got copies of NON IDENTIFYING adoption records from them for a fee. It helped me locate my natural parents, I was adopted in Chicago but lived in a collar county,so my cook county birth certificate was never corrected. I was able to request it because I knew my father's name from info obtained from Catholic Charities. HOWEVER, you are dealing with a much earlier yr 1917 and a lot has changed because of id theft and terrorists. Glad to help more if needed Kathy you can find quite a few births,marriages and death for your cook county CARRIER families family search pilot website under illinois cook county http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home didn't trace much on mehan but found this on family search fred carrier married cook county mamie miehan 26 dec 1903 death Mamie CARRIER b. chicago 4 jun 1886 died chicago 7 sep 1923 Father Laurence MEHAN b.
