Can't find a birth or
death
certificate?
From Cindy Leonard:
"The physicians of this county are negligent about making returns
of births and deaths. The law requires a return be made within thirty
days,
under a penalty of ten dollars. But it is frequently several months
after
a birth or death before the attending physician reports the same to the
county." - quote from the Macoupin County Herald, March 28, 1879,
p 8.

Marriage Records
IRAD is cheap if you can find the marriage
record
there and don't need the marriage certificate. Records for 1829-1877
have
the information that the certificate has on it, not much information
but
still if you just want information for these years, IRAD is the
cheapest.
The most important part of a marriage certificate after 1877 is the
marriage
record/registers which contain all the information about the bride and
groom. See IRAD definitions.
For years 1877-1900, the records cost ten cents each at IRAD,
minimum
cost is $1.00 but you can request 10 copies and still will only be
$1.00
total cost.
