Robert Kirkwood .....

Post by Bob Haining » Fri Feb 24, 2006 11:38 pm

I’m looking for some advice about researching in Illinois, Cook County.

I’ve found my Great-uncle, Robert Kirkwood, on the 1920 and 1930 census and would like to get a copy of his marriage and death, but don’t know where to start.

All my research has been in Scotland (TalkingScots and ScotlandsPeople) and in British Columbia.

Any help would be appreciated.
Bob

Just an update, I've now made contact with a granddaughter of Robert Kirkwood.
