- "Return to the list of films in this catalog record. Find the year of death. Then find the film with the appropriate certificate number for that year. (Be sure you are in the right year because certificate numbers are repeated yearly.) ."@en
- "There may be some confusion because other numbers are found on certificates. When more than one number is found, use the number that is in the related sequence of your certificate number."@en
- "HOW TO USE THE INDEX: Find the name of an individual in the alphabetical name index on microfiche. (#6016862; this index is on 191 microfiche and runs from 1916-1938. There is no index for 1939-1945.)."@en
- "Certificates were organized in different ways by different clerks. Some are organized by certificate number, some by locality, others by dates of death, and yet others by dates of filing."@en
- "Can't find a certificate? Here are some facts and suggestions: (1) Simply go by month and year. (2) Search the month after the month of death, especially if the file date is a later month than the date of death; (3) Search the miscellaneous certificates at the end of each year. Most of these are arranged alphabetically by the name of the locality (i.e. city, county). Be sure to check through all of them because some may be grouped separately at the end; (4) 1919-1921 certificates were arranged chronologically and alphabetically by county and city; (5) Many 1935-1936 certificates are out of order. Try the event date, the file date, or the locality by city; (6) Sometimes only the middle numbers of the index certificate numbers were used; (7) The certificate numbers for the year 1943 may not be correct.; (8) In the index, Lake County was sometimes mistakenly used for LaSalle County & vice versa."@en
- "Certificate numbers are: (1) often in the upper-right-hand corner of the death certificate when cities are listed; (2) often in the upper-left-hand corner for county records (3) sometimes at the top & in the middle of the certificate; (4) generally arranged by day, month and year of the event."@en
- "STILLBIRTHS do not have certificate numbers. For the most part, they are grouped together for each year. 1916-1917 stillbirths are found at the end of each year's certificates. After 1917, stillbirths are found at the beginning of each year with one exception: CHICAGO STILLBIRTHS, 1916-1922, are found at the very end of this catalog record's list of films."@en
- "Note the locality; year, month and day of death; the filing date; and the certificate number. Certificate numbers in the index are 7 digit numbers that begin with a code number for the location. This initial number and any zeros that immediately follow it are not used as certificate numbers found on the certificates. Therefore, ignore those numbers."@en
