If not, it's unlikely that anyone on this list/site can help you. There's a Cook County mail list that may be able to assist: COOK-CO-IL@rootsweb.com If you have access to ancestry.com, either via your own subscription or at a local library, you can research your cousin yourself using census and birth/marriage/death databases. The LDS database at https://www.familysearch.org/nhome/ may have useful information as well. It's free. Regards, D.L.
