I got a certified copy of a "No Record Found" form. One aunt and one uncle went to his funeral ca. 1954 in IL. Unfortunately both of them have since passed. A cousin knows he was living someplace in IL at the time of his death. Nobody knows exactly when/where he died or was buried. Is there an alternative to the Vital Statistics Office that I can try? Are burial permits maintained by the State or locally? He is not in the SS Death Index. He never became a US Citizen.
