Much was said regarding corrupt website is it still like that or is it workable now? Diane

HI List, Forgot to mention the sibling's names listed in the obituary: Sadie Elliott and Pauline Schultz. Sorry, I've been working long hours and am fogged brained. Missy

Hello List, I have an odd obituary request. I typed in my 2nd great-aunt's name and came up with an obituary for one of her siblings. It didn't give the sibling's name just a list of servivors. The obituary is in The Chicago Daily Tribune on August 18, 1949. If someone has access can you do a look up? Thank you, Missy in Michigan

We will need a name.  --- On Sat, 6/5/10, Missy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Missy <[email protected]> Subject: [COOK-CO-IL] Odd Obituary request To: "Cook County" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, June 5, 2010, 4:03 PM Hello List, I have an odd obituary request.

You realize that Glenview Naval Base is no more? The property has been turned into condos and retail, called "The Glen Of Glenview".

Anybody know what happened to Anchorage (street? avenue?) that was around in 1950? Did they take the street out, totally, or did they name it something else.  This street WAS located at Glenview, IL, at the Naval housing, there.    I hope someone knows.  Thanks. It's where i lived as a baby. John Dvorak

Nickerson Ave. and Ardmore Ave. both still exist and one did not become the other. Nickerson Ave. is 6900 W from 5800 N to 6150 N.  It runs for 3 1/2 blocks.  Ardmore Ave. is 5800 N and runs from 934 W to 7828 W.  It runs E/W for miles.  You can see both streets on Google maps.  I am no expert on the northside, just look up the numbers to see that they are different streets.  I recommend a great resource entitled "Turner's Expanded Chicagoland Street Guide".  You can get it at most bookstores.

Would a 1917 address 5847 Ardmore Av. (in Chicago) have changed to 5847 Nickerson by 1925? Help please. [email protected]

Whenever I have had an occasion to go into the office and ask for help, they have been more than helpful and friendly. Mornings are usually funeral times and they may be busy with funerals in and out. Why don't you try later in the day and see what happens.

I did contact someone who was helpful in saying that the baby is in a common area which years ago they gave to babies who died.  There is no marker for him just a field.  His death certificate listed convulsions and congenital weakness.   Thank you everyone..

Hi Guys; The name is apparently not all that rare as The Trib obit archive lists 74 obits under the surname Niesen. Cheers, Masugu [email protected]

Hi John, Years ago I did a lot of research on the Niesen's of Chicago as my sister-in-law's mother was named Niesen. It is a very old name and goes back to the earliest years of Chicago. Many early Niesen's are buried in St. Boniface Cemetery as a primary German cemetery of the time. In later years, Queen of Heaven became a major cemetery as Niesen's moved further out to the suburbs. The family I was tracing originated in Wittlich (Trier) Germany about 1800. Robert Evensen
