Laura,

The registration of births (statewide) in Illinois didn't begin until
1916. Birth records are primarily held by the individual counties and
the time period for which they have them varies from county to county.

Some Illinois counties have recorded births as early as 1838, but most
are from 1877 to 1915. It would be very difficult to locate a birth
registration if you had no idea what county in which to search.

Best wishes and good luck with your search.
