Yes, Susanne. "Chicago Genealogist" is a quarterly publication of the Chicago Genealogical Society. They also have a monthly newsletter along with monthly meetings usually at the Newberry Library in Chicago. Their annual membership renewal drive is going on now & ends July 31. Virginia Dick, a Newberry Library volunteer, is translating news items and marriages from the Illinois Staats Zietung German language newspaper. It was published between 1848 & 1922. Each quarterly has translations from several editions.
