In 1916 my family is living at 2647 Eastwood Ave. On the WWI draft reg, the son lists his address as 943 Eastwood Ave. By any chance were the numbers changed and this the same house?

anyone have anything that they can relate about these people? from first hand knowledge especially? Whitey Lockman Al Spangler Burth Hooten J C Martin Hank Aguire RIck Reushel Jim Marshall Milt Pappas CHurch Schrieber

have you checked on the assessor site to see if the buildings both appear.... i havent checked to see which direction eastwood runs but maybe it was closer to the city and was an apartment boarding house... maybe he worked close to there while family lived a bit away... transportation was at the mercy of public for many people... so maybe he just stayed one place weekdays and another on ends? have you an idea of his work? scout the map sites to check out the placment of these and then switch over to directory info of what was around that neighborhood....

Hi, I grew up messing around an ice plant on SW 63rd St near Lowe Ave in Chicago. I learned my first bad word, which was also a surprising pseudo acronym, one day sitting on the dock roof over-looking the ice trucks backing in for their load. What caught my eye in this message is that the "historical union" can also be an "hysterical marriage", so true for many marriages in this day and age... Hope I haven't inconvenienced you with this memory...

Five thousand plus of these books are on the Brigham Young University Library servers and readily accessible, NOW!

"Sthe LDS Family History Library has announced that it has begun the process of digitizing and making available on the Internet all of the Family History books in their collection. These are primarily books in the "929.273 Series" that are currently housed on the first floor of the Family History Library (previously housed on the fourth floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building). At the present time (September2005), about 5000 books have been digitized and are available, and they have announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week to the on-line collection. Copyright issues are playing a role in determining the order in which they progress through this task; books out of copyright are being done first." Go to the web site of the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU at http://www.lib.byu.edu/, then on the home page, follow the links: Find Other Materials; Electronic; On Line Collections at BYU; Text Collections tab; Family History Archive from the list of collections that are displayed.

For those doing research of either children who were once in an orphanage, or doing actual orphanage research, I came across this book at the UofC press's website. I have no vested interested in this book; I only thought it might provide good context for researchers who might have ancestors in an orphanage. Especially the sentence that "Few realize that almost all children living in nineteenth-century orphanages had at least one living parent." To support this a bit more, some interesting orphan stories can provide context to the Chicago Experience, by going to the Tribune archive site and using various keywords like, orphan, orphanage, etc. Cmiel, Kenneth A Home of Another Kind: One Chicago Orphanage and the Tangle of Child Welfare. 252 p., 13 halftones. 6 x 9 1995 Cloth 0-226-11084-2 Fall 1995 In the most comprehensive account ever written of an American orphanage, an institution about which even its many new advocates and experts know little, Kenneth Cmiel exposes America's changing attitudes toward child welfare. The book begins with the fascinating history of the Chicago Nursery and Half-Orphan Asylum from 1860 through 1984, when it became a full-time research institute. Founded by a group of wealthy volunteers, the asylum was a Protestant institution for Protestant children--one of dozens around the country designed as places where single parents could leave their children if they were temporarily unable to care for them. But the asylum, which later became known as Chapin Hall, changed dramatically over the years as it tried to respond to changing policies, priorities, regulations, and theories concerning child welfare. Cmiel offers a vivid portrait of how these changes affected the day-to-day realities of group living. How did the kind of care given to the children change? What did the staff and management hope to accomplish? How did they define "family"? Who were the children who lived in the asylum? What brought them there? What were their needs? How did outside forces change what went on inside Chapin Hall? This is much more than a richly detailed account of one institution. Cmiel shatters a number of popular myths about orphanages. Few realize that almost all children living in nineteenth-century orphanages had at least one living parent. And the austere living conditions so characteristic of the orphanage were prompted as much by health concerns as by strict Victorian morals Ellen Plourde http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~opindex/

Emeline Spooner died 12/23/1907 in Cook County, ILL. She was the mother of Perry Shultes. Jennie Shultes died 6/2/1911 in Cook County. She was married to Perry Shultes. Could someone look for either of these women in the Chicago city directory? They are not easy to find, these women! Thanks, Candi in California

Hi Candi, Just so you, and others know, the "City Directories of Various Time Periods", which included Chicago, has disappeared from the online databases. It was/is owned by Gale Group. AncestryPlus had been paying Gale, but they recently split. There is a mailing list for city directories that may help you. Also Molly, Cynthia and Colleen have access to some for a minimal look-up fee. Good Luck! [email protected] wrote: Emeline Spooner died 12/23/1907 in Cook County, ILL.

Hi Judy, Those aren't archived yet, so you have to contact the Coroner's Office/Medical Examiner. I'm not sure of the exact title. The contact person is Erika Crenshaw. I think they charge $20, and I KNOW they take forever! She is the only one who provides this service, and of course it has to be as time permits. Genealogy is not a priority. The phone number is 312-666-0500. The address is 2120 W Harrison. Good Luck!!!
