Hello List, How can I find out if there were many (or any?) Methodist Episcopalian churches in Chicago in the 1930-1950 era? And which would have been closest to the addresses below. My great uncle and aunt (both Norwegian) were married by "ME church ritual" in WI, then moved to Chicago by 1930. Their names were Hans(Henry) and Tillie(Mathilda) JOHNSON. In 1930, they lived at 1516 N. Talman Ave in Chicago. In 1954, they resided at 2317 W. North Ave, Chicago. I don't have their addresses for the in-between years. thank you, MeLani
