STILLBIRTH Certificates Issued in CITY OF CHICAGO, Cook County, Illinois, 1923 through 1942, and 1946 through 1947 from mollykennedy

Stillbirth certificates issued in IL 1916-1947 were a combination of birth/death certificate, for an infant who was born, but the infant did not "take breath" after birth. (at that time, the qualifying factor for a "live" birth in Illinois). IF COMPLETE info is provided in Genlighten research request, I should be able to find the Stillbirth certificate. If incomplete info - and/or not indexed, the search fee covers up to 20 minutes research time.

Fee if I find the record you requested: $9.00

Fee if I don’t find the record after a thorough search: $7.75

FAQ for this lookup

I have a stillbirth I found on FHC file no. 1765825 cert no. 1045 image 1799 Harris born to Charles Harris/Mildred Nelson. I want the death cert. How do I order from you? Fill in the "add your reqeust details?
I had to check the stillbirth information you'd provided - to learn the date of death/stillbirth (1936). I wanted to make sure I had access, before answering your question! Yes - to place the order, fill in the "Add Your Request Details" section. I'll need name (Harris parental names); date (Oct 14, 1936), city/county (Chicago/Cook), and cert # "cn 1045".
I am looking for a stillbirth in May 1921 in Cook County. I cannot find it in either index link you provided. Because of the date ranges you list for this lookup, am I out of luck? Is the ANY way to find this record? Thank you!
Was the stillbirth in Chicago (city), or in Cook Co IL (outside of Chicago city limits)?? Give me the name(s) - of infant & parents - and let me see if I can find them in any available index. Without a name, I am at a loss as to how to best help you.

Ordering instructions from mollykennedy

MUST PROVIDE the year, month and county/city in which the stillbirth took place. Cook County/City of Chicago stillbirths are now indexed online (not completely), at the website link provided. [NOTE: PLEASE check online statewide IL death index at additional link below (cyberdriveillinois.com link), for SURNAME with & (ampersand) in the middle name field - because the death may have been just a death of a newborn infant. If NOT a stillbirth, the lookup would be less expensive for YOU!]
