Chicago Vital Records
$8.00/record
Description
Willing to look up any Chicago or Cook County birth, marriage, or death that is available at a Family History Center (more than 10K microfilms). This includes births 1871-1922, marriages 1871-1920, deaths, 1878-1947, all on microfilm, and any other records that have been digitized and made available through the FamilySearch website that need family history center access to view.
You can check on the availability by searching FamilySearch and finding the index information of interest.
Please note: I prefer index information (or at least a name, as specific a date as possible, and what sort of record) in order to retrieve a record.
For births and deaths, I need the name, birth (or death) date, film number, and certificate number and/or image number/reference number. Screenshots of indexes, or copying/pasting index information is useful.
For marriages, I need the film number and the license number and/or image number. Again, screenshots of indexes, or copying/pasting index information is useful.
I generally retrieve records on Tuesdays.
Ordering Instructions
Please send me index information from FamilySearch (best), the Illinois Statewide Death Index, or Ancestry.

Need to know which repository and specifically which record you are interested in including date(s), surnames, and any other information that may make it easier for me to find the record for you. Fee is per hour, not per record. If I have to travel, travel adjustment of 50 cents per mile will be made.
Fee for Custom Research does not include travel miles (.50/mile), or any other transportation costs to get to the location. I am centrally located east of O'Hare and have personal transport to make it easier to get to the right record.
Travel fees apply to Custom Research only. Record retrieval is fixed price and includes travel fees. Any copy costs, parking structure costs, or similar will be passed along to the client.

Thanks so very much.

I asked Amanda to go to the Newberry Library to view original church records that are only available there. She worked with the archivist to arrange the visit, did a thorough search of the registers, and provided quality digital images of potentially relevant pages. I would feel very comfortable calling on her again to take on a similar project.

Thank You her birthday is tomorrow and she is thankful for what you could provide. I have some other projects from the same family I may need your help on in the future I just need to see how much information I can acquire first. It was exactly what we were looking for. Thank You for helping us.

Exhausted all possibilities to get to the final result. Great work.

Thanks for sending both the pdfs and jpgs. The pdfs are a little easier to read but it's great to have both. Sophie Suehrstedt was my great-grandmother; according to family stories she died (at 25) from a mastoid infection--this turns out to have been essentially correct.
Very knowledgeable at interacting with all of the family history sites. Very good at logging in sources for individuals. Very easy-going with clients. She is very good, flexible with her time; knows how to gather all of the sources available on the Internet.
