Welcome to my Biographies home page. I have acquired the "Album of Genealogy and Biography, Cook County, Illinois with portraits" published by Calumet Book & Engraving Co. in 1895. This book contains some wonderful biographies of some of the people living in Cook County during that time. I am slowly transcribing the biographies and Michelle Bley is uploading them on the Illinois Biographies Project page. I have also volunteered to do look-ups for people who are looking for relatives in that vicinity and that period. I have received many requests to do look-ups for people who are not in the book's index and I really hate to disappoint people by telling them they are not in my book. So, I decided to transcribe the book's index and put it on the web. That way people can see if their ancestor is listed and, if so, can request a copy of the biography from me. Also, I have provided links to the Illinois Biography Project for those people that are already transcribed and uploaded. Another reason for this page is to provide a home for that wonderful book's introduction. I think that if researchers would read it, they will understand what is in the book and how to use it.
