After going to www.privateeye.com, I found a Charles S. Swanso Jr. age 32 living in Chapel Hill, NC.

I suggest that you post that photo(s) at this web site and it is www.deadfred.com and it will always be there...

Have you searched for him at www.switchboard.com or www.whitepages.com ? Kathleen

I finally found an address for the Charles A Swanso I have been looking for, he endined up in California. They only problem is the addre4ss is dated 1992, which I have already checked out and he doesnt live there any more. Is there any way I can find out where he went? Michele

Pat, Thanks for those references. I check them out. Anettka There is a book in print called "Dating old photographs 1840/1929". There is another "American Victorian Costume".

don't know...I would suggest you go back to the site, enter 'Ferris', scroll down to the Gen. Helper Section, click on the area that you saw your 440 hits at, and go from there. remember blue hi-lited underlined will take you to the article. I wouldn't worry about what you saw before as there may have been a glitch in the database retrieval process. You also have to remember that when "Ferris" is entered as your search, that all kinds of ferris and alternatives therefore may show up. if you would like to go off line to discuss and not bother the group my email is warchol99@msn.com<mailto:warchol99@msn.com>.

Mary Cook County Courts stopped issuing naturalization papers after 1929. Paula has found a petition from 1960 so Cook County Courts would not be able to help her.

What is the most likely way they would have come to the US, through Ellis Island or some other channel . They came from Czechoslovakia. Thank you for any info that you can supply. Jan

Hi All, Hopefully, this site will not get so bogged down that it is not useful. I was on last night and found a few little tidbits that were useful to me.

Anettka, There is a book in print called "Dating old photographs 1840/1929". There is another "American Victorian Costume". Your local library or genealogy society may just have either one of these, or another publication in their collection. This could also help you date your picture. Pat

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eulalia MULLEN which was taken at the M. Melander & Bro. Studio in Chicago, Illinois. The photograph is dated May 30, 1892 and Eulalia appears to be about 1 year old at the time the photograph was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of the family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I just found a card for my grandmother's Acknowledgment of Filing Petition For Naturalization. Name and location of court: U. S. District Court, Chicago, Illinois - petition was filed on Dec 2, 1960. It has her name and the petition number. I went to the the website for U.S. District Court in Chicago but cannot find out how to get a copy of the petition papers. Does anyone know where/how I would obtain a copy of these papers? Thanks in advance,

I have been away for a while, but now that I am back I would like to thank everyone who responded to my query regarding Paul Schneiber and Prohibition in Chicago in 1899. You are all really great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you again!! Carol Loar

Some of the ads (with pictures) for childrens clothes show them dressed almost exactly as you described. Even the ties are as you described. Don Feldbruegge
