The long-awaited rollout of Cook County Clerk David Orr's Genealogy Online: Historical Cook County, Illinois Vital Records is upon us. More than 6 million of 8 million records are now searchable (after your free registration) and available to be ordered @ $15 a pop, so updating will continue. (IOW, don't assume your research target got hatched, matched, or dispatched somewhere else just yet!)
Celebrate Indpendence Day by searching for records of:
Births 1872-1933
Marriages 1872-1958
Deaths 1872-1988
By the way, some thought has gone into this. You can search using a surname's Soundex code (explained in the helpful hints on site).
H/t to the Newberry Library blog, and the Newberry is where you go to find Sam Fink's index of earlier vital records as compiled from newspapers.
