FAQ for this lookup

You are the first person outside of our family to sign up and post an offering --which is very exciting! Many thanks for trying this out. Please feel free to send feedback and suggestions to Dean (dean@genlighten.com) or to me at the chicagogenealogy email address. Thanks! Cynthia

Hello, Sent our first response to our first inquiry.. Very exciting. It worked great. Thank you, Chicago-Obits

I see you are part of Will Co. Genealogy and thought you may have suggestions or service to help me. I recently sent request for death cert. to Will Co. clerks office. They responded that no record was found. Is there another path I can take? The problem is all I have is year of death. Thanks, Martha

Dear Marthmac, Death records/certificates were not required until the early 1900's and even then, I do not think they were monitored very strictly. Without knowing what part of Will County, we can offer these suggestions: The Coal City Library has a Will County death index and other resources, The Wilmington Library has an alphabetical obituary index, and the Morris Library has indexes and loads of other resources. The Joliet Library also has microfilm of the old newspapers if you find the actual date, they will do look ups. Also, check the Will County website, they have a lot of cemetery indexes as does the Grundy county website. On the Will county site they have a Necrology which has death listings of some residents, as long as you know the year it should not be too hard to search. http://will.ilgenweb.net/ http://grundycountyil.org/ If you think there might have been a will, or a probate record, you could check with the Joliet clerk for that record. We can check the Oakwood cemetery and Mt

Do you take headstone pictures at Calvary Cemetery in Cook county? I have my 2nd great grandparents buried there.

Hello, Yes we do. We can usually go within a few days, at the most we would have to wait until the weekend. If you let us know the names and dates it should not be a problem. Thank you, Anne www.Chicago-Obits.com

I still can't post feedback on the lookup you did for me (website glitch that will hopefully be fixed soon) but I am very grateful for the extra mile help you gave me with my request. Please make this "question" public so others know what a great job you did for me! Many thanks . . . Cyndy
