The following file contains a listing of genealogical and historical
societies in Illinois.  Included in the listing, where known, are telephone
numbers and yearly dues.  This listing is donated to the public domain and
may be freely  copied.  Under no conditions can this listing be sold or used
in any other commercial fashion.  If you think this list has any value, then
donate that value in helping your local genealogical society (or the National
Genealogical Society).
 
If you write to any of the societies on this list for information, remember
to include a self addressed stamped envelop (SASE).  Many of these societies
work with a limited budget, supplemented by volunteers, and can not afford to
respond unless a SASE is included in your letter.

                       VITAL RECORDS
 
County Records of Births and Deaths
 
A few county clerks kept vital records as early as 1838. The law required the
filing of vital records in 1877 but few counties complied. Archives have film
copies of these documents for about half of the counties.
 
Delayed registrations of births are available from the county where the birth
occurred.
 
State Records of Births and Deaths
 
In Illinois the statewide registration of vital statistics began in 1916 and
was generally complied with by 1922. These records are closed to the public.
However, the state registrar of vital records issues uncertified photocopies
for genealogical research. Members of any Illinois genealogical society
generally have access to vital record indexes in the state. The registrar's
office has a statewide index on microfiche. To obtain copies and more
information, write to:
 
           Office of Vital Records
           State Department of Public Health
           605 West  Jefferson Street
           Springfield, IL 62702
 
An exact photographic copy of the original (also called A FULL
CERTIFIED COPY) is $15.00. Or you can get A CERTIFICATION for
$10.00. It shows only the name, sex, place and date.
 
Make checks payable to Illinois Department of Public Health.
They search 5 years for this price. Each additional year to be
searched is $1.00.

Marriages
 
A county clerk usually kept marriage records from the time each county was
organized. A few records date from the 1790s, but couples were not required
to obtain a marriage license until 1877. The Illinois State Archives has
microfilm copies of the records up to approximately 1920 from about half of
the counties.
 
The counties continued to record marriages until 1 January 1962 when
statewide registration of marriages began. The county clerks have the
original records up to 1962. Copies can usually be obtained for a fee. You
can obtain certificates of marriage from 1962 to the present, for a fee, from
the Office of Vital Records (see address above).
 
The Illinois State Archives and the Illinois State Genealogical Society are
creating a computerized index to all marriages in Illinois from its earliest
settlement to 1900. When completed, this index will contain approximately
2,000,000 names. The estimated completion date is 1990.
 
Divorces
 
In the early 1800s, the legislature and the circuit courts granted divorces.
Circuit or city courts have handled most divorce proceedings. The Superior
Court of Cook County in Chicago also has jurisdiction over divorces. The
court clerks of each county have custody of these records.
 
Chicago and Cook County
 
The records for Chicago and Cook county are available for as early as 1871.
Earlier records were destroyed by fire.
