I have two adopted siblings, and would like to get information on the health records of their original birth parents. Obviously, I missed this presentation at the Arlington Heights Library. Is there any chance that the proceedings or minutes of the meeting could be sent by email? Thanks DRD

Our policy is not to answer questions of a specific nature on the blog as we don't feel we can give a complete answer in this space. Instead, we encourage people to write us at genealogy@newberry.org or use the "contact a librarian" form found at: http://www.newberry.org/contact-librarian. If you'll send us a note, Matt will be happy to get back to you with more details from his talk.
