Just one clue I got from a message board and I can't remember the date.
Regarding the death certificates of people in Ill. They were not required to
be registered right away. Check that out fact out first and that is probably
why you won't find them. Ardy Stoesz/Colorado.

Message Board Post:
Looking for the naturalization of Carl Zimmerman in Illinois. Carls given
name was Charles Friedrich Wilhelm Zimmermann. He was born in Oct of 1829
in or near Berlin, Germany. He came to this country with his wife (name
unknown) and a small son, William,born in 1859, thru New York in 1861 or
1862. His wife died soon after arrival. He took his son and went to
Illinois settling in Dakota Township, Stephenson County, Illinois. He
remarred in 1864 to Elizabeth Greenawald. He lived in Stephenson County til
1878 when he brought his family to Lancaster County, Nebraska. His second
son, Henry was born in April, 1862. Family history says that Henry is his
son by Elizabeth, but I have a marriage license for Carl and Elizabeth that
definitely says they were married in 1864. I am looking for an exact birth
place for Carl and his son William in Germany. I have looked at death
certificates for Carl, Elizabeth, William and Henry but no answers there.
Have looked at marriage licenses for Wi!
lliam and Henry and no answers there either. Hoping that maybe
naturalization papers might give some clue. Would like to find parents and
siblings of Carl in Germany and maybe even his first wife's name. The
naturalization papers are about my last options. Since he lived in Illinois
for over 10 years after coming to the states, I figure he must have applied
for and become naturalized in Illinois. Can anyone help? Or tell me how to
go about finding the naturalization papers for Carl.
Thank you for any help you might be able to give.
Anita
