I have been sent a small photograph from a distant cousin in Chicago showing a little girl in her first Communion dress standing outside the window of a bar restuarant called 'MCDONNELLS' My cousin believes that the restuarant belonged to one of my uncles who went to Chicago nin the the early 1900's either Thomas or Michael (they later used the surname spelling of s McDonald) and that the little girl is also related to me. I would appreciate any information from knowlegable Cook Co listers if they know or knew of such a bar restaurant in Chicago possible in South Chicago where they used to live sometime during the 1930's to 1960's Michael McDoinnell

Does your distant cousins say what part of Chicago they think the picture was taken, or what part your relatives were from?? That could be a big help to find out.
