The Chicago Historical Society has an extensive collection, not all on their website but I would check there first. I know they just changed their name but I bet that they have a pointer from the old name to the new name. Google also should find it. And the Daily News (am not sure about the period covered) is on the Library of Congress website -- images only) and worth the effort to check. Good to see you posting, Molly. Hope all is well with you. I will be checking in with you soon about possibly finding some documents for me.

Hi everyone, Could some kind soul look for an obit for me-Joseph Komer, born 1894, died Dec. 17, 1971 in Chicago and buried at Beverly Cemetery. His wife was Mary (nee Scher). At the time of his death, their address was: 9403 Pleasant Ave, Chicago. Thanks, Ruth

HI all - I recently learned that my Mom (almost 88) was a competitor in the typing/transcription contests (events?) at the Worlds' Fair in Chicago - Mom was only 15 when she graduated high school in 1935 - - She immediately to work for an attorney in Charleston IL -- but he (and everybody else) urged her to enter the typing/transcription competion. Mom said that while she was in Chicago, she stayed with her aunt & cousin (who lived in Chicago); her cousin was 26... and this "event" was the first time my Mom ever knowingly lied.. Her cousin Virginia, while escorting 15/16-year old Mary Agnes Sullivan around Chicago - - turned to my Mom and said "I'm 26 years old... I'd bet you think that's REALLY old, don't you?" My Mom - then a teenager -- emphatically shook her head & lied "NO, OH NO, That's not old at ALL!" What I would love to do - if anybody can help me with advice or resources/referrals - is to find a photo of the typing and/or transcription contest during that World's Fair in Chicago, in which my Mom was a teenage contestant. Even if the young Mary Agnes Sullivan is NOT in the photo - it would still help me bring back another proud moment in her life, of which she spoke so little in the past. Any suggestions - Please?? and Thank you!! molly Molly Kennedy P O Box 5785 Springfield, IL 62705 www.mollx.com Genealogy - Confusing the dead, and annoying the living. _________________________________________________________________ PC Magazine’s 2007 editors’ choice for best Web mail—award-winning Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_mini_pcmag_0507

That's correct. I like Wikipedia a LOT, but it is a user-contribution database and must be approached with that (possible limitation) in mind.

At a garage sale I found an old photo (circa 1910) of a teen-aged girl. Written on the front of the photo at the bottom is: "Ida Lipke" Written on the back of the photo is: "My cousin Elizabeth Eichwald" The photographer was located at 817 W. 21 st, Chicago (name of photographer not readable). If you know this family, please contact me. Kathleen Craine Chicago ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

LaVerne: I have a family that changed its name, and I was not even aware of it until I contacted a distant cousin. She said her father changed it when she was a little girl, and she never knew why. I believe it may have been because he wanted to distance himself from his ethnic heritage (Polish). Another branch of the family suddenly started claiming to be from Germany at about the same time.

I suggest that you post the photo and description on deadfred.com. It's a great site where they try to match photos to descendants.

Could someone please tell me the Ward number, E.D. number, and page number for the 1930 census for Frank A. and Rose C. KWASIGROCH in Chicago? Thank you. Joseph Martin Romeoville, IL

Hi All. Sometime ago someone from this group helped me and found a record of my Grandmother coming to the USA from Italy. I would be ever so grateful if someone can do this search for me. Her name was Elisabetha(?) Saracco nee Angelicchio. On the record "Saracco" was spelled "Sanacco" possibly a "n" at the end. She arrived in NY at Ellis Island May 27,1936 she had a child who was 11 months old with her. A son. If memory serves me right she was listed as last name Angelicchio and next to that it was written in "Sanacco". Thank you in advance for any help. Dianna Saracco-Farish NC

Hi All; Just a note to let you know that I now own a copy of the Chicago Suburban Telephone Directory, pub. June 1955. This directory does NOT include Chicago itself, Burnham, Calumet City or Lansing but does include suburban subscribers in the Calumet District of IN (Dyer, East Chicago, Gary, Griffith, Hammond, Highland, Indiana Harbor, Munster, New Elliot, Ross, Schererville, & Whiting). As usual, I am willing to do look-ups for y'all. Please send any requests to my personal e-mail address: woichi01@comcast.net. Cheers, Masugu

This quote is from recent statutes governing name changes. I have no idea what was required in the past. You might want to determine what laws applied to the time of the name change. A large library probably houses the Illinois Civil Procedure Act. "Petition: The petition shall set forth the name then held, the name sought to be assumed, the residence of the petitioner, the length of time the petitioner has resided in this State, and the state or country of the petitioner's nativity or supposed nativity. The petition shall be signed by the person petitioning or, in case of minors, by the parent or guardian having the legal custody of the minor. The petition shall be verified by the affidavit of some credible person. Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 735 Civil Procedure, Art. XXI Change of Name, Section 21-102."

I think if there was no intent to defraud (who would know? <smile>) that name changes were pretty informal and often done without legal proceedings. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_change Elaine On Saturday, May 19, 2007, you wrote > My question is on having your name changed > legally in court...what questions are asked of > one to apply for a name change.
