Would anyone be able to locate an obituary for Hubert Kramer in Chicago who died in March 1968? Thank you for considering this request. Joseph Martin -- Adam and Eve must have found genealogy very boring.

Has anyone contacted this church for old records? I am told by ELCA that the church records are kept at the church, which has moved from Chicago & Noble and is now the St. Peter's United Church of Christ on Diversey. Their records go back to 1864 and so I am hoping for some pre-Fire data. Thanks, Bart

Thanks to those who sent Dr. Manley Page's obituary to me. I have him to thank for changing a knock-kneed tot into esa grownup with fairly straight legs. The years of wearing clunky brown oxfords with orthotic inserts were worth it, although wished I could wear sneakers and mary janes at the time. Daryl

St. Peter's was originally located at 2238 Cortez.  My great uncle's July 2, 1927 marriage license had the Cortez address on it and the clergyman/Pastor at the time was Rev. Henry E. Lambrecht.   Today, the church is known as St. Peter's United Church of Christ and is located at:   St. Peter's United Church of Christ 2805 North Linder Avenue Chicago, IL  60641-4839 Phone:  773-283-1118   For assistance with old church records, write or send an email with your request to stpeterucc@sbcglobal.net and address it to the attention of "Kathy."  Within a week or two of sending my request, I received a photocopy of the original church entry.   Very pleasant people to work with.   Ruth   PS - I obtained my record in 2009...I'm assuming Kathy is still the contact person. --- On Tue, 10/18/11, Bart Hansen <vestby@gmail.com> wrote: From: Bart Hansen <vestby@gmail.com> Subject: [COOK-CO-IL] Fourth German United Evangelical Lutheran St Peter's Church To: cook-co-il-l@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2011, 10:01 AM Has anyone contacted this church for old records?

Judy, I believe his name is spelled Gieselmann. If you Google him, you will find many references to him. If it is the same person, he died Nov 1981.

I am hoping someone can help me identify an orthopedic doctor who practiced in Oak Park in the 1940's. His name was Dr. Page; I am looking for his first and middle names. He practiced with Dr. Harold A. Sofield and among other hospitals was affilitated with Norwegian American near Humboldt Park. Thanks. Daryl

Hi Listers, In addition to looking for any Kloeckner Memorial UCC Church members who may have saved the church registers, I'm also looking for anyone related to the last pastor of that Church, Reverend Roy Gieselman. The church dissolved in 1976, & Rev. Gieselman retired from the UCC denomination in 1977. He also may have taken the registers in order to save them. I'm hoping someone related to him might have some idea of the whereabout of the registers since the UCC Archives said no one knew what happened to them. The registers probably hold pretty valuable info about my ancestors, so I'd love to locate them. Thanks. Judy

If no one has replied to your email, it has been my experience with listings for the Illinois Newspaper Project that 1892:1:2 - 12:31 would mean the editions available on microfilm for 1892 are January 2nd through December 31st, so your thought on this would be correct.  The Illlinos Newspaper Project shows issues of Abendpost available:  http://www.library.illinois.edu/inp/results_full_public.php?oclc=09642267   The locations of the films show the type of copy:  microfilm service copy, microfilm master copy, original, original print.  Films can be ordered from the source via interlibrary loan and must be requested through the library where you have your card.  However, the "type" may dictate whether the films are "loanable" or must be viewed at the source location.   Make some calls to inquire about the available of the films you are interested in.  Hope this helps.  FYI, depending on your location (out-of-state?), I believe these films are only "loanable" within the State of Illinois.   Ruth --- On Wed, 10/12/11, D&S <donald.berndt@wmich.edu> wrote: From: D&S <donald.berndt@wmich.edu> Subject: [COOK-CO-IL] Abendpost, Chicago, IL To: COOK-CO-IL-L@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 5:23 PM I am hoping to learn what the numbers listed by Chicago Hist.

Judy, Were you able to find out from either archives who the last minister of record was for the church? He or she might have taken the Registers home. That is more likely than a member, I think. If you knew that person's name, you could email the Chicago Association of the UCC to see if the person is still alive. Or start with the Conference email you already have. The UCC on the regional level keeps track of retired ministers, and would have, hopefully, a current address, even if the person (or his or her widow/er) has moved out of the area. It's a very long shot, but it might give you a name to start with. If the minister has died, always a possibility, the office might, if you're lucky, know of a family member. If the minister is young enough that they're still in active ministry and has moved on to another church, they might know where. UCC clergy are a close knit group!

I am looking for people whose ancestors & relatives were members of this church that dissolved in 1976. The church began as 2nd German Evangelical United Zion Church in 1862, when it split from the First Evangelical Church. In the 1800s it was located at Union & 14th Streets, Chicago. By 1910 it was located at Ashland & Hastings & by the 1940s at 5450 VanBuren (Van Buren & Lotus). In 1966 it merged into Kloeckner Memorial UCC Church, but was dissolved in 1976 due to declining membership. I have several newspaper articles about the church & replies from the Evangelical Church Archives & the UCC Church Archives. The records were not recovered when the church dissolved. Archivists have suggested that perhaps the Registers were simply taken home by church members so they would not be lost or perhaps were taken to the churches they transferred to. Does anyone out there have relatives that attended this particular church? If so, any idea what churches they transferred to in 1976? I'm hoping someone might know where those Registers are or what happened to them. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows where any members went in 1976.

I have a death certificate from August 22, 1916. The cause of death is listed as hemorrhage of the brain. The lady was 37 at the time. When I look at the certificate, above the header, at the very tippy top is a dated hand written note. It says "not overheated 8/23" and initialed M.S. The initials do not match any of the names on the certificate. Does anyone have an idea what this might mean? Thanks, Betsy

Thanks, Luke, but I'll soon qualify for reduced-fare, which will make the train cheaper than paying for mailing. Diane

Has anyone obtained a declaration of intent by going to the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the Daley Center? I found a relative in the on-line index and downloaded the record search instructions and form. The instructions say to enclose a check for $17.42 and a record will be mailed to me. However, the form says in a footnote that the $15 mailing fee is waived if I pick up the document in person. Diane

Diane, I have spent a few sessions at that office doing research. Yes, they have micro files and original records can be viewed. However, if you are not going to do research in the small office, then it is cheaper to order it. Consider train or bus fair to get there and back or $30+ for parking if you drive. Also, many of the records are actually housed at the National Archives at 77th(?) and Pulaski instead of at the Clerks office. You might call and ask them whether they hold your specific record or the Archives. It is free parking at the Archives. Luke S.

I have heard that Lakeview (or maybe Lakeside) was an old name for Winnetka (or another North Shore suburb.)  I saw an old newspaper notice about someone "coming down to Glenview from Lakeview," so it sounds plausible the notice referred to a place north of Glenview and NOT the Chicago neighborhood of Lakeview.    I am unable to document this.  am waiting to hear back from the Winnetka Historical Society.   in the meantime, any ideas about this?   thanks,   --deena (Researching surnames: Pabisinski, Niezgoda, Wojcik, Kuczaik, Buta, Swierk, Malec, Dicmonas) http://gplgenealogy.blogspot.com/
