I'm trying to find the name of the church where my g-grandparents were married. The church (Catholic) was located at 94 Palmer Avenue in 1899 according to their marriage license. They were married by Michael O'Brien. According to the 1900 U. S. Federal census, Michael O'Brien (occupation - priest) resided at 895 Palmer Avenue. The 1900 census shows the district that Michael O'Brien lived at as 'City of Chicago, Fifteenth Ward; 37th Precinct, Bounded by Palmer Ave., Mozart, Armitage Ave., Kedzie Ave.' Does anyone know the name of this church? Thanks, Jim

Jim McCarthy at mccartjh@gmail.com asked for the Roman Catholic Church that was located at 895 Palmer Avenue in 1900. Jim, I think you are looking for St. Sylvester Church, 2157 North Humboldt Blvd., Chicago, Illinois 60647 (773) 235-3646. The church's website is: stsylvester.archchicago.org . You can also find information on St. Sylvester at the Archdiocese of Chicago's website: http://www.archchicago.org/index.shtm Click on Parishes at the top of the page. When the next window opens, type St. Sylvester in the "By Name" box and click "GO". Thomas Mackowiak MACKOWIAK/SERWATKIEWICZ/WANATOWICZ/JANUSZEWSKI/LESCZYNSKI/ORLIKOWSKI/MROZ/MU NO/HARNEY
