<p>Professional genealogists and people interested in researching their
family tree will soon be able to access key records from home instead of
ordering by mail or traipsing down to a musty office in the Loop, Cook
County Clerk David Orr said Thursday.
<br>If all goes as planned, newly digitized versions of county records
such as birth and death certificates and marriage licenses will be available
beginning in January on one searchable Web site that will revolutionized
how such research is done, Orr said.
<br>The Web site is part of a massive yearlong effort to digitize the county’s
24 million vital records, which date to 1871, when record-keeping began
after the Chicago Fire wiped out previous stockpiles, clerk’s office spokeswoman
Kelley Quinn said.
<br>Scanning and indexing&nbsp; each record was completed in June, and
the county is uploading about 1 million files per week into a computer
server; a process that is expected to be complete by the end of the year,
Quinn said.
<br>The genealogy Web site will offer a tutorial for people interested
in researching family trees and allow users to search for relatives by
name. Once the proper person is found, users can pay a fee to download
records and print them at home.
<br>Documents available online will be birth certificates that are at least
75 years old, marriage certificates more than 50 years old, and death certificates
more than 20 years old, Quinn said.
<br>She said that certified copies, which are required to obtain official
documents such as a driver’s license, will not be available online.
<br>No Social Security numbers will be available on the online documents,
she said.
