Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Public Vital Statistics Records in Illinois This Guide to Public Vital Statistics Records in Illinois is the first publication of the Illinois Historical Records Survey specifically intended to aid in national defense work, as well as to be generally useful to government officials, research workers, and the public at large. On September 3, 1940. In conjunction with the work of the Vital Statistics Division of the Bureau of the Census and with the National Defense Program, the Historical Records Survey in each state was requested to compile a checklist of existing state and local public records of births, marriages, deaths, and divorces, with transcripts, abstracts, or citations of legislation requiring or affecting the keeping of these records. On the basis of the results obtained, it was decided later to publish this data in the form of a vital statistics guide for sash of the states. Divided into separate sections on births, deaths, marriages, and divorces, the Illinois guide lists both state and county records for births and deaths and county records for marriages, since no state records for the latter are kept. As there is no legislation in Illinois requiring the keeping of separate record series for divorces, no records are listed in the divorce section; instead this section is devoted to a legal statement covering divorce juris diction and procedure, and the keeping and custody of divorce records. In all sections listing county records. The arrangement is alphabetical by name of county, with records listed chronologically thereunder. Sample birth and death certificates and marriage forms will be found inserted at the end of their respective sections.
