Volunteers are NEEDED to do lookups in any format reference source related to Cook County. If you own or have access to any Cook County genealogy reference sources, please contact one of the Cook County ILGenWeb Coordinators to be listed on this page. NOTE: Lookup Sources, along with copyright dates MUST be included in your LOOKUP OFFER email.
IMPORTANT ~ PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE REQUESTING A LOOKUP!
USGenWeb policy prohibits lookup volunteers from infringing on copyright, so please do not ask for large quantities of information, information on multiple people, or Xerox copies of pages from the resources.
Feel free to request a look-up from the listed resources.
Some of the lookup researchers listed on this page are "VOLUNTEERS" - which means they offer their services at NO charge (not even for copies!!!).
Some of the lookup researchers listed on this page are "EXPENSE ONLY RESEARCHERS" - which means they offer their services and charge VERY minimal fees for reimbursement of their expenses only. If you find that ANY of these researchers are charging for "time", please let me know so that I can remove them from this list.
These LOOKUP RESEARCHER and VOLUNTEER lists are intended as an aid for those who cannot hire a professional genealogist... they will not be used as a free advertising media for personal profit!
If you find that you need to hire a professional genealogist, please check the Cook County ILGenWeb Genealogy Research page for Society and Organizations that might make referrals.
USGenWeb is a non profit entity and Cook County ILGenWeb will not allow any "FOR PROFIT" distribution of research material.
Please limit your request to one or two names per request.
The subject line of your email will be automatically entered when you "click" on the researcher's name to ensure that your email is not overlooked or accidentally deleted. PLEASE do NOT change the subject line!
If you request a lookup, don't forget to THANK your volunteer for his or her time.

| Obituaries, if indexed in http://www.lib.oak-lawn.il.us/olpl/Obits/Obits.htm, are $3; if not indexed but death date is known I will search a local newspaper for two weeks from death. My charge for that is $5. Sorry, I can't browse newspapers if death date is not known. If your obit is not indexed, I can try some other resources: The Chicago Trib 1971 to date; Southtown, 1924 to date; Sun Times, 1979 to date. I don't have access to any other papers, except those listed above. |
