Hi Linda,   Be sure to stop at the office at St. Adalbert and use the kiosk to located your relatives.  If the map you print out isn't clear or if you can't find a burial listed, be sure to ask at the deak.  The Sections are pretty large, so wear walking shoes.  And, watch out for the goose-poop, too.  Although the Canada Geese seem to have left the area for the most part with the warmer weather...still a few stragglers, and trust me you don't want to step in this stuff and then get in your car.   The office hours at St. Adalbert are 8:30AM to 4:00PM Monday through Friday, and 8:30AM to 1:00PM on Saturday.  The office is closed on Sunday.   The cemetery is now on "summer hours" meaning they are open 7 days from 8:30AM to 7:00PM.   Good luck!

Linda asks, Several people have suggested that I go to Newberry Library. Do they have individual genealogy records? I was there about 10 years ago and found only general Chicago history information, but I might have been looking in the wrong place. ? --------------------------------------------- I'm not sure what you mean by individual records. Do you mean histories of specific families? I don't know about that. Anyway, you should check their web site for holdings, for example at: http://www.newberry.org/genealogy/collections.html On the second floor they have old city directories and phone books, census and church book films, old city maps (these are great, spread out on a table you can paw through), and many other resources.

Hi John, Have you tried the Cook County Assessors site? http://www.cookcountyassessor.com/Property_Search/Property_Search.aspx When I went back to Park Ridge some six years ago after being away for many decades, I found that one of my two childhood homes had been "pulled down" and replaced by what they call a faux Frank Lloyd Wright house that took up the whole lot. The neighbors must hate it. Anyway, when I searched for the house at the above site I found a photo of our original 1940s place. They perhaps hadn't had time to update the photo even though the new replacement house had been there for at least one year.

The Tribune historical archives has only a Cecelia (Kulasek) Fish, died 6 Feb 1974. The Chicagoland edition (NewsBank) had: Kimbery May (Kulasek) Curran, of Streamwood (parents Thomas & Shirley Mae), died 29 April 1998, age 41 (Daily Herald on May 1, Tribune on May 2). Mary Ellen (Kulasek) Murphy, who died before her husband, James C. Murphy, did in December, 2001. Even a Newsbank search of the entire USA only turned up James F. Murphy (son of Mary Ellen & James C.), whose obit was 13 August 1971. and Andrew J. Sobotka, (obit on 25 Oct 1965) who was the brother of a Virginia (perhaps yours?) who was married to a Thomas Kulasek. and a Paula FItzgerald, who died 26 March 1991, in Redding, CA, and had a brother Frank Kulasek of Chicago, with sisters Helen Handler, Kay Weaver, and Mary Murphy, all of Chicago. I don't know if any of those people are useful to you. If so, I can send the obits your way.

Hi, Not having much luck, but I did find the exact date of death for Virginia [which may help in locating an obit for her]. And I also found an obit in an index for Kimberley Mae Curran [nee Kulasek]. I do not have access to the paper, but maybe somebody else will, and perhaps that may have some info for you. Also, it seems that the name may have some different spellings [don't they all - grin] and a couple that I found that might apply are KULASIK and KULASIAK.

Thanks, Ellen. I have all of the obits from the Chicago Polish paper through PGSA.   I hope to see the actual Lamich and Kalka gravesites. I know they were there 25 years ago, because a relative visited them. I was hoping there was a directory available to help me locate the graves, but it sounds like they will be hard to find. I'd also like to take pictures of houses and churches.   Finally, I wanted to go to the LDS center that has all the Chicago Catholic Church films in its permanent collection. I've ordered many of them at my local center, but their printer is always "broken," and I never have time to look as carefully as I would like before the films go back. However, I would be there on Wednesday, when Winetka is closed.   I think I will skip this idea. I won't be able to accomplish much in a single day, and it will cost hundreds of dollars. It would be more productive to come to Chicago for three or four well-planned days.   Novertheless, it will be wonderful to visit the city with my sisters. No spouses, children and grandchildren are invited.
