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.
