The Chicago Genealogical Society announces a special Birth/Marriage/Death records project for members only. Let us help you obtain locked Cook County, Illinois, Birth/Marriage/Death record images from familysearch.org. You will need to locate the record on familysearch.org and provide name, date, GS film Number, digital folder number, image number, reference id, record number and certificate number. Not all numbers are provided for each record. (Instructions on reverse side of project form). We are NOT doing research. We are retrieving record images only. This is a members only project. Members can request up to three records for $5.00 each. All efforts will be made to locate the record.  However, if a record is not found the fee is non-refundable.  Requests are due by August 31, 2022. Requests will be filled in the order they are received, and images will be emailed.
