Subject: [ILPOPE-L] Free death certs by email
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 1998 18:12:43 -0500 (CDT)


Here's info for getting free death certs: (217) 782-4682
This is Ill. State Archives. Ask for the library. Give them
the name and date of death. It takes 2-3 weeks. You can only
order 2 at a time and they are uncertified copies, but they are
the death certs and have all the info. People have been asking
if they need to send SASE. The answer is "no" just a phone
call with the above info. does it. Sounds too simple I know,
but it works. Others have done it.
Hi list members, just received updates from the Cook Co List:
1.) "I called this number which connects directly to the "request desk" for
death certificates - saves a few minutes on long distance.
1 (217) 782-3556"
2.) "When I called the phone number I was told they need it in writing. I
turned around, put it in writing and was holding 2 certificates within 3
weeks. It's a little slower but I have been learning patience with my
quest. The address is:
Illinois State Archives The Norton Building Springfield, IL 62756"
3.) "Hi, when I called, twice, they took my info and sent me my things
inside a week with no problem. Maybe it makes a difference to whom you
speak! It was (217) 782-4682Billie Rood
"
4.) You can email to the IL State Archives for free death records
