How do I find court records and newspaper articles regarding an old murder?

Libraries carry periodicals going back many years, sometimes they're on microfish or if they've updated, in the database. Many researchers use this method, including journalists. That is if there was an article about it. Smaller, local papers are more likely to have it.

How do I access death records?

The Illinois secretary of state's website has a free statewide search of deaths Indexed pre-1916. The state department of health claims that death records are not public, this is what it says: "only available to those who have a personal or property right interest with the decedent". However, on the same page, there's a paragraph about uncertified are "often used for genealogy or research, are for informational use only and cannot be used for legal purposes". There's a link on the IDPH's website "Researchers", which gives 2 options on how to get the death records, for informational purposes only.

How to get list of divorces filed within last 2 months?

Divorces are filed in counties, where the county clerk has them. If you're looking to do statewide research for statistics, then your focus should be statistical data, a different form of public record as opposed to a divorce certificate/filing. Mention the county so that others can be of better and specific help.

How I find if I have a warrant?

There are a number of counties in Illinois (Lake, Adams, Carroll and others) where warrant information in their area is published for public viewing online. Some of the counties such as Peoria search databases as opposed to having a pdf list of names and information. The details/data you will see are (generally) defendant's name, offense, case number and bond dollar amount. You may need to search around to figure out the offense or charges as there are a lot of abbreviated terms. Remember that you are doing a search on your own, so you will need to look around at different webpages as even various government department are not necessarily connected to eachother's data.

Marriage certificates?

Department of Public Health, Division of Vital Records does not have marriage certificates as so many other state's state health department does, the clerk in the county where the marriage occurred is where you can request certified marriage records, this is according to the Illinois department of health's own website.

How can I see if I have an active warrant?

Some counties, such as Will county has a sheriffs office warrant search. Which county?

Open-Public-Records.com (Staff)
Property database?

Depends on the county, Illinois has property databases throughout the state. There are property tax portals from assessors/deed offices, such as the one in Cook county, which is a free online search you can use to look it up. A search can be done by either PIN or property address. The search results (from the county which I searched) show the following: Property Characteristics, Tax Bill Mailing Address, assessed value history, property class description, tax billed amounts, tax history, exemptions, appeals, tax sale, documents, deeds and liens. There are other bits and pieces of published information on the same search page.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE LAW THAT GIVES THE cOUNTY THE RIGHT TO TAX MY PROPERTY?

The Illinois Department of Revenue has an explanation of property taxes here on their website. Look up "Illinois Property Tax System - Illinois Department of Revenue", should come up amongst the first on your search engine results. It is a pdf which tells about the tax better for some than the codes alone (such as: 35 ILCS 200/ Property Tax Code. - Illinois General Assembly). You can also find the PDF by going to the department's website and access their publications with a link on their left menu titled "Publications". There after click on "All Other Publications", on that webpage you will see two links that are helpful, 1. PTAX-1004 - The Illinois Property Tax System and PIO-16 - An Overview of Property Tax.

How can I find out if my son has filed for a divorce in Illinois?

If you don’t need an official copy, you can get a verification from the Illinois Department of Public Health, Vital Records Division. You can make the request by mail, fax or in person. The verification only shows the names, DOBs, date of the divorce and location. The courthouse also has divorce records, however, you need to know which county the divorce was filed, there are 102 counties in Illinois. Official divorce records are not available from the IDPH, they can however verify that it was granted for a small free, around five dollars. The verification from the IDPH covers dissolution of marriages from 1962, it is done by providing the names, DOBs, date of divorce and location of the divorce. If you need official divorce records, you can go to the individual circuit court clerks of the county where it occurred. You can view a list and access either of these with the links on this page above. The Illinois Court Record link will take you to state's court home page, from there you can access circuit court clerk individually. For the verification, you can use the link to birth records (birth, death, marriage and divorce records are usually provided by the same departments) and access the webpage where the verification can be requested.

How can I find out who is the owner of a property next door?

Assessors in Illinois provide the public with property information, some of them charge others don't. Depending on the county, they can be readily available online such as in DuPage, however, Cook and Champaign charge a fee. Some of the assessors sites that charge, will show some information about the property before asking to place the order.

How can I find out my court date online in Illinois?

Which court or county? There are court calendars which show upcoming hearings, 'calendared events' as it is sometimes named. The court clerks also have filing information for the public which anyone can access, however, all courts are not the same, and on the same level. There are over one hundred counties in Illinois, they each have their own clerks which handle its filings. There are online calendars from state to local level courts. Many court clerks in Illinois maintain a webpage which shows upcoming hearings. Madison is a typical example, when you look up their county's page, you can see where the circuit court clerk lists information about cases. These different court clerk's webpages are not all the same and not always immediately found. At the state level, the state's public judicial site shows its oral argument calendars (both for either Supreme or Appellate). If you still have questions about a particular case, there is a list of court clerks by districts or circuits on the state's court webpages.

Is there an index that lists Deaths by location in Illinois?

Recorded deaths? As in homicides? Crime mapping shows incidents/crimes including assault and homicides from one street to another. All areas are not covered, however, generally the larger cities are shown.

What is criminal sexual assault mean?

"Sec. 11-1.20. Criminal Sexual Assault" can be found looking up the Illinois compiled statutes at the Illinois General Assembly's website. Look for CRIMINAL OFFENSES (720 ILCS 5/) Criminal Code of 2012, within that database you will be able to find links to general definitions and major sex offenses which should help define it.
