href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberdriveillinois.com\/departments\/archives\/databases\/death.html\">prior to 1916<\/a>.\u00a0 The first is a complete index, but the index prior to 1916 is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Today, without even noticing at first, I realized that Kane County had been entered.\u00a0 I was looking for someone I\u2019ve never researched before.\u00a0 When I found what I was looking for, I at first moved on, without giving much thought to what had just occurred.\u00a0 About a half-hour later, it dawned on me that pre-1916 deaths had not previously been entered for Kane County.\u00a0 So I started plugging in known names of those who died prior to 1916 and there they now were.<\/p>\n<p>According to the page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberdriveillinois.com\/departments\/archives\/databases\/deathlst.html\">Counties Included in the Pre-1916 Illinois Statewide Death Index<\/a>, Kane County is complete for 1877 to 1915.\u00a0 A note at the bottom of the page indicated the page had been updated on 2\/22\/11.\u00a0 It does not indicate which counties have recently been added\/updated, so there may be more than just Kane County.<\/p>\n<p>This is certainly a relief as I plan my Kane County research trip.\u00a0 While I had found some of the death records while in SLC in 2009, further research uncovered more people who died during that period.\u00a0 I was all set to work at the IRAD at Northern, searching the index first and then acquiring the records.\u00a0 Now, from the comfort of my home, I can search the index and have the details ready to find the actual records, thus saving me lots of time that I can now spend on other research!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Illinois
