Chicago Death Certificate (you have a certificate number), 1923-1947 from chicagogenealogy

If you have a certificate number for a Chicago death certificate from 1923-1947, I can provide a digital image of the record. You can find certificate numbers in the Illinois Statewide Death Index, FamilySearch, Ancestry.com, and CookCountyGenealogy.com.

Please note:

* Chicago death certificates up to 1922 are available free on FamilySearch.

* You can view a blank copy of the death certificate form used during those years from the link below. However, please remember that key information (like parent names) may not be there if the informant didn't know it.

* If I'm not able to find the record you need (it's rare, but it happens), I will let you know how and what I searched and there will be no charge except the $.50 Genlighten processing fee.

Fee if I find the record you requested: $6.00

Fee if I don’t find the record after a thorough search: $0.00
