Weekly column sharing genealogy-related things that I’ve learned or found.

Records – The Cook County, Illinois Birth Certificates, 1878-1922 collection on FamilySearch Pilot Record Search has been updated.  Since there is no longer a bar indicating the percent complete, I wonder if that means it’s 100%.  Gotta pull out my to-do list and get to work!

Research – I’m definitely on the right track with my Emil Miller research.  I received the divorce record a few days ago, and it is without a doubt my ancestors.  Look for a blog post soon about my new discoveries.
