Chicago is recognized for the huge number of celebrities that were born here and have become famous not only in the United States but around the world: Billy Zane, Gillian Anderson, Michelle Obama, Robin Williams, and many others.
But Chicago is not just famous for its celebrities. The state is also home to a huge number of people who all have their own stories. Finding out a public person's story is simple: just search the internet and you'll find all the information you need. With non-public people, everything is somewhat more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.
An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.
Such obituaries you can find on our site.
Considering that there are a lot of people who lived and still live in Chicago, it can take a long time to find a dead person. It is possible to reduce this time if you build a proper search system at once.
The first thing you need to pay attention to and what can help you - the most accurate data about the person. Naturally, the first and last name is the most important, but you may also need information such as place of residence, place of work and date of death.
Second, you can check available online databases of obituaries. Search engines can help you with this.
A more complicated way is to try to find a newspaper that may have published information about the deceased person. But it is desirable to know the city and even the area where the person lived, to narrow down the search.
There is a way that combines all three: you can go to one of Chicago's public libraries. Libraries are staffed by professionals who can advise you on how to conduct a proper search. Many libraries have information about people who died more than two centuries ago.
You can use the city filter on this site to find information about people who have died in that city. You can also filter by state, funeral home, name, and date of death.
