Birth/Marriage/Death Record Project - 2024

The Chicago Genealogical Society announces the return of the 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, and appropriate file numbers (instructions on reverse second page of form). We are NOT doing research, we are retrieving record images only. This is a members only perk. 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 will be filled in the order they are received, and images will be emailed.   

Email the completed project form, type required information directly into an email or send familysearch.org screen shots to vitalrecords@chicagogenealogy.org and pay at donate and select the Fund: Birth/Marriage/Death Records Project. Or you can mail the completed project form to CGS, P.O. Box 1160, Chicago, IL 60690-1160, Attn: Birth/Marriage/Death Records Project. Include check payable to CGS.
