Hi,
I need someone to look up a birth cert. In Illinois for Arthur Joseph Fitzgerald born on Jan. 28, 1916. His father was also an Arthur.
I would just like all the info on it, but it does not need to be copied and sent to me.
Thank you for your time,
Cathy Obeshaw

If there is no one to do a look up in-state, then this may be a possibilty for you to find out information.
