They just keep getting bigger. So, theoretically, each number is only used once. (I think I discovered an exception to this once--always an exception!--but I seem to remember that it had to do with a very early record, perhaps a surviving pre-fire one.)<br /><br />I'm thinking this glitch might be a combination of two or more unexpected things which makes thinking outside the box to find it a real challenge. I scrolled through all the certificates in the 800 range yesterday with no luck and I double-checked the license number that appeared in the Inter-Ocean (in the 300 range).<br /><br />My thought now is that if it's somewhere on a film, it will show up indexed and online when the early licenses are added to FamilySearch's Record Search pilot . . .ChicagoGenealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845802294693283275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-87000604695728358632009-06-11T23:02:07.660-07:002009-06-11T23:02:07.660-07:00Thanks, I did submit a request.

I am not sure how the information is arranged in terms of locating the films (it's quite confusing for d/c at the ISA) and I've accidentally pulled the wrong film simply because I looked in the wrong year. You've probably thought of this already, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699560976080566224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-14478614171744582902009-06-11T10:14:09.682-07:002009-06-11T10:14:09.682-07:00If you need record lookups in Chicago, just send m...If you need record lookups in Chicago, just send me a request through my website! www.chicagogenealogy.com<br /><br />CynthiaChicagoGenealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845802294693283275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-40888902497643988612009-06-11T00:00:38.013-07:002009-06-11T00:00:38.013-07:00Cynthia,
First, thanks for the tip about the list...Cynthia,<br /><br />First, thanks for the tip about the list in the Trib being in # order...that hadn't even occurred to me.<br /><br />Second, my initial thought was reuse, but then of course I kept reading. I can't even construct a logical explanation other than to suggest that perhaps they didn't marry and somehow the number did get reused or misrecorded.<br /><br />Third, let me know if you'd be willing to look up a few things the next time you're at IRAD...I have a few marriage and death records that I need to collect for Chicago. Happy to reimburse and/or do some lookups when in Springfield. Email: genblogjulie@gmail.com.<br /><br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699560976080566224noreply@blogger.com
