Albany Park (the neighborhood) is centered around the Lawrence/Kedzie intersection, just west of the Lincoln Square neighborhood where Dorothy lived. I don't recall an Albany Park (green space). The park I mentioned was Welles Park bounded by Western, Sunnyside, Lincoln and Montrose.

Hi Deena I lived in the area, 2305 Wilson Ave, from 1924 (year of my birth) until 1938. When David mentioned a park on Wilson Ave some distance 'west' of where we lived I remembered a park. It was a lovely park where we had many picnics. Because the park was quite a distance from our home we only visited the park a few times during the summer. It was memorable for me. Of course distance is all relative. We took public transportation. . I don't remember the name of the park but it could well be Albany Park because that would be the area we were talking about. I haven't been there for so many years - maybe someone on the list can answer. I would like to know as well. As I remember, Albany Park is an 'area' of the city, however, if there is an Albany Park, it could be some place else? I don't know about that but it seems possible. I thought that the Albany Park Area of the northside of the city was northeast of the Wilson Ave area where we lived. I could be wrong. dorothy

I have a question for the list...While going through some old photo albums of my family, my daughter (20) asked me a question that had me stumped because I never really gave any thought to it. She asked, "Mom, what am I supose to do with all these albums after you and dad die? None of us know who these people are, but you, so should I just toss them?" I really didn't know how to answer it. What a shame to toss all those pictures. There really isn't any family left either and those that are wouldn't want them. Any suggestions or thoughts? Martha

Hello, I have a Nora GIBBONS from Chicago. She was married to my grandfathers brother, Owen LEONARD. Her obituary states that she was the fond sister of Michael and Martin of Chicago, Anthony of England, Daniel of Ireland, the late Katherine O'Donnell, Mary McGreal, Agnes Gibbons, Patrick, Thomas, James, Joseph and Edward. Native of Newport, Co. Mayo, Ireland She died 1974-02-21 Pauline

Thanks to all who helped so generously with my McGlynn research. It has moved me ahead considerably, and I appreciate the time and effort in my behalf. Could someone tell me the current address for 3026 Broad Street (in 1880) or, perhaps later, Stark St. Is there a bukilding standing at the address at present? Thanks in advance for your continued help. Kathryn Jennings

It's time to begin labeling those photos, Martha. Your daughter is only 20 now, but her interest in things of this nature will bloom as she gets older and she'll be happy to have them.

Jerry -- Thanks for writing. I don't recognize any of your GIBBONS marriage names (ROGAN, YORE, DWYER or McINTYRE) -- and I'm not far enough back yet to know if any of your GIBBONS people connect with mine.

Learned of this online narrated history from the Limerick list, but considering the number of Irish who emigrated to the regions of other lists of which I'm a member, thought this information resource was worth sharing. If you go to URL _http://www.rte.ie/radio1/famineechoes/1115374.html_ (http://www.rte.ie/radio1/famineechoes/1115374.html) ( _http://www.rte.ie.radio1/famineechoes/1115374.html_ (http://www.rte.ie.radio1/famineechoes/1115374.html) ) you can listen to a series of broadcasts that were re-aired on Irish radio starting December 9, 2006. It is a poignant history composed of narratives provided by locals recounting what they heard from their relatives who lived through the famine period -- an incredibly detailed description of life in those times -- e.g. how they lived, what they ate, how they farmed, etc.. Am sending to Australia Victoria Goldfields and Western District lists, the Cook County and Irish in Chicago lists, the Albany, NY list and the Monaghan list, Please feel free to forward to other lists/contacts who might have interest.

Thanks for your reply, Sharon. I should have been more specific in naming the McGlynn family in the 1880 census: Patt McGlenn b. Ireland age 41(Head) Mary McGlenn b. Ireland age 39 John McGlenn b. Scotland age 19 Ann McGlenn b. Scotland age 17 Mary McGlenn b. Scotland age 15 Elizabeth McGlenn b. Scotland age 10 Margarett McGlenn b. NJ age 8 Katie McGlenn b. NJ age 4 Ellenor McGlenn b. NJ age 3 Winefred McGlenn b. Ill 9M We have to assume that Winefred died before the 1900 census. Other girls in the family are married or accounted for otherwise. Thanks. Kathryn Jennings

Winifred's death certificate can be ordered from mollx.com or chicagogenealogy. com Illinois Archives databases: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/deathsrch.html MCGLENN, WINNIE 04/14/1881 CHICAGO 19 MO U 00003406 COOK Mary

The census record says that Winefred was born in Aug [1879]. The family was living at [what looks like] 3026 Broad Street.

In the 1880 census at Chicago, the family of Patrick McGLYNN included an 8th child, Winefred, aged 9 months. Winefred was the first of the children born in Illinois. Unfortunately, I do not have a date on the census to estimate the month of her birth so 1879 is as close as I can come to it. Would some kind person look for the date of the 1880 census, and the address of the family's residence? If possible, could someone also look for a birth registration for Winefred, in the hope that her mother's maiden name is given? Thanks in advance - your time and efforts are appreciated. Kathryn Jennings

What great memories I have of that area. Yes. I did mispeak. It was Water School that I attended until third grade then I also went to Queen of Angels where I graduated. The school is on the northwest side of Western and Sunnyside Ave. I lived in the area from 1924 until 1938. I have pictures of myself and family in Wells park when I was a toddler. It is still a lovely park I think. We used to go to Albany Park for picnics. That was great fun! It was a lovely park with a terrific twisting slide. I doubt that we ever ventured further west than that. dorothy

Thanks Frank that sounds familiar to me now. dorothy

Ooops I'm so sorry that I miss spoke. I went to Water School on Wilson ave. It was a grammar school. However, I do remember Wells High School on Ashland Ave I don't remember it being a grammar school however, it could have been. I remember I did hear the name often and think I had friends that attended. . Sorry about the mix up.. dorothy e.

Hi Kathryn, The 1880 Census was taken early in June 1880 and was suppose to report the status as of June 1, 1880. I do not find your Patrick in the 1880 Census, was the name spelled different? Were they living in IL? Wife's name?
