A few point...Thanks so much for this information! <br /><br />A few points. The library doors require a student card to get in the door - there is a buzzer near the door with an intercom. The main desk is to the right where you can ask for the films. <br /><br />The microfilm reader is, thankfully, a new computer model. If you've never worked with a microfilm reader before, you may want to get familiar with one at a local library or family history center before going in order not to waste time there.<br /><br />It's easier to search with the camera zoomed out to maximum so you can catch the entire page at once. If you find the listing you need, or have trouble reading small print you can zoom it back in.<br /><br />In the years I was searching (1947/1948) The County Court New Suits listings were not always between Superior and Probate. They were often there, but for formatting or other reasons they could be anywhere in the first 4-5 pages, especially on weekends or holidays. If you don't see them where you expect them, go back to page 1.Mike Allensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745823133981602428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-5781396718281803072017-01-08T18:01:39.331-08:002017-01-08T18:01:39.331-08:00What is the cost?What is the cost?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-14327214867994797422015-05-13T06:55:59.771-07:002015-05-13T06:55:59.771-07:00I just checked with Chicago Law Library at the Dal...I just checked with Chicago Law Library at the Daley Center and they only go back to 1934.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472383363585634033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-75281976109576928512009-12-15T14:08:57.301-08:002009-12-15T14:08:57.301-08:00Just updated the blog post to include links to two...Just updated the blog post to include links to two researchers who offer help with Cook County adoption research through our website, Genlighten.com.ChicagoGenealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845802294693283275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-69861731398163137762009-10-28T12:39:42.124-07:002009-10-28T12:39:42.124-07:00Cynthia, I was aware of this but finding someone t...Cynthia, I was aware of this but finding someone to check is not the easiest task. I'm a reunited Cook Co. adoptee myself. But Anita Field and I are the co-founders of IL Open (www.ilopen.org). So we are in touch with others still searching. Are you available to check the CDLB?Mary Lynn Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070854025711079569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890559.post-82651859423058643822009-10-28T12:19:18.857-07:002009-10-28T12:19:18.857-07:00I'd contact the Rinn Law Library at 312.362.87...I'd contact the Rinn Law Library at 312.362.8701 to make sure of the dates they have...<br /><br />Another law library that has the CDLBs is the one on the 29th floor (I think) of the Daley Center at 50 W.
