Great job, Patti.  I'm sure this is the same Rev. Van Page I am looking for.  I now know the religious denomination and can look at the city directory for a church name.  I'm getting closer  thanks to all.

Seems to me that Lawndale address is familiar.  Could be someone else on the Cook list was looking for the church too some time ago.

Thanks!

My home computer kept trying to connect to each database but it could not connect to any of the three databases. For each database that I tried to access I would see information that Internet Explorer was trying to connect. Then it was being redirected. The there would be a message about connecting manually. IE kept running through these three or four messages in a loop. I think there must be something wrong with the servers at CPL.
