About Me:

I began researching my family in 2002 while just a junior in high school. Please don't let the fact that I am only 26 years old fool you. I am very committed and passionate about genealogy. It started off as a hobby for my grandmother and myself. I now jokingly refer to it as my part-time job. I have since taken the knowledge of records I have gained to help others. I enjoy helping others locate and retrieve documents that they may not be able to obtain themselves. Before joining genlighten I maintained (and still do) my own website. Through that website I located many of the same records I now offer on here. In recent months I have been used by professional genealogist in Salt Lake City to retrieve records in Will and Cook Counties.

FAQ for this lookup

I know nothing about Chicago so I don't which paper I should look for an obituary for someone who stayed on College Grove av in 42 and on Columbus street in 1918. Where should I look?

I would suggest the "Chicago Tribune". If they where of African American descent I might suggest the "Chicago Defender".

Hi, I'm looking for an obit for a person who lived in Elmhurst, IL but was pronounced dead in Berman, IL. Would this be in your area. Date would be 1924? Lynn

It is possible that an obituary for a resident of Elmhurst to have appeared in the Chicago Tribune. Best Regards, Steven J. Wright

Hi, I have a distant relative who's death certificate I'm unable to find via Familysearch, though I know the date of death and that it was first-degree murder, and can find the certificate number through the Illinois state index site. I did however, also find a cook county coroner's inquest record number for the individual so I'm curious if that is something you look up? I was interested in a death certificate, but it sounds like this coroner's record has more information.

Cook County Coroner's Inquest is a look up I offer. As long as it falls between a certain time frame. And does not appear in one of the missing volumes. What is the date of the inquest you would be interested in locating?

I'm interested in locating a record from 3/17/1901 filed on 3/19/1901 filed under Dennis Sweeney. Hopefully that vol/page would be available?

Yes, that volume is available. If you would like me to do a search please submit a request. I will contact the archives and see what the intern staffing the library is this semester.
