Illinois obituary research, Any Range from mollykennedy

I have Monday - Friday access to over 5,000 Illinois-published newspapers, spanning over 100,000 microfilm rolls, through the holdings of the A. Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum. If death date AND locale (both death locale and residential locale) is known, I will search the appropriate local-area newspaper for obituaries, death/funeral notices, for 7 days following the death date (7 days for daily issues; 4 weeks for weekly issues). Publication citation will include city, name of publication, day/date of issue, plus section/page/column numbers. My fee is for each newspaper to be searched, and includes parking fees.

Fee if I find the record you requested: $6.75

Fee if I don’t find the record after a thorough search: $5.75

FAQ for this lookup

hi, do you have access to the Chicago Daily News for 1988? thanks, mary jo
No - Daily News ceased publication in March 1978
I am trying to locate an obituary for George C. Bentz. He died on 10-01-1934 in Cook County, Chicago, Ill.He has file #6027050. Can you locate his obituary. Williamjholmansr@aol.com
The file number 6027050 is actually his 1934 death certificate number. If an obituary was published for him, I can probably find it.
Hi Molly Kennedy, We're researching our Kennedy family history from London, Ontario, Canada, which leads us to Chicago and I just emailed Cynthia (genlighten) a Cook County, death certificate research request. I was also clicking through the genlighten web site and noticed we have the same last name and thought I'd send you an email to say hello. I don't think we're related; only wanted to say hello, because you're a Kennedy!~ I also registered with the genlighten web site (dannykennedy) and am thinking about offering obituary lookups for London, Ontario, Canada to start. I'm thinking about it, because I love genealogy and see others like yourself offering the same lookups. So, where are your Kennedy's from? Regards, Dan Kennedy London, Ontario Canada
My Kennedy line is already in U.S. by 1735 (which woudn't have been the States yet - probably still "the Colonies"). We still don't know exactly where our Kennedy's originated; probably Scots-Irish, English or Welsh.
