Cemetery Research On Sunday, April 5, 2009 the Genealogical Forum of Elmhurst will host a presentation by Jeffrey Bockman. The meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. in the Community Bank of Elmhurst, 300 W Butterfield Rd, Elmhurst (intersection of Spring Road. There is a traffic light and a Shell station on the NE corner.). Please note our new location. Guests are welcome. To defray speaker fees: Non-members $5, Couples $8. For information, call 708/531-0449. ww.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ilgfe/ The presentation will discuss the importance of cemetery records because there may be more below ground than there appears to be.

Bockman, Genealogical Lecturer and Writer, is a contributing editor for the Everton's Genealogical Helper and was a feature writer for the former Heritage Quest Magazine. He is the current and a past 3-term president of the DuPage County (IL) Genealogical Society.

Jackie,   I've gone through the 18 pages of Ward 14 Ed 152 at ancestry.com and also Heritage Quest though my library.  I did not find Pierce St. nor did I find any of the Goode family.  It's possible an entire area and it's inhabitants was just missed - not enumerated.   Sorry I couldn't help you.   Judie Mason Chicago --- On Fri, 3/20/09, Jackie Greathouse <jjg331@gmail.com> wrote: From: Jackie Greathouse <jjg331@gmail.com> Subject: [IL-COOK-CHICAGO] 1880 census Pierce St location To: IL-COOK-CHICAGO@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, March 20, 2009, 2:40 PM To the Great Chicago Listers--- First I want to thank everyone who has tried to help find the persons enumerated in the 1880 census on Pierce St/AVe.

To the Great Chicago Listers--- First I want to thank everyone who has tried to help find the persons enumerated in the 1880 census on Pierce St/AVe. I have followed all of the great directions and so far have not found this street in the following 14th Ward--Districts 149, 150. 151, 152, 153.

One more note. Searching the 1880 city directory, I find a Leon Klein living at 48 Pierce (I searched for even numbers with "Pierce") And he appears in the 1880 census (Ancestry.com) living at 48 (no street name on sheet but the next page with street numbers going up shows "Pearce") The family at 52 "Pearce" is Thomas H. Sharp, wife Hattie, along with another family with a surname starting with "M"--Frank, Phoebe, and baby. So now the question is--was there a Pierce and a Pearce or is this the right address? It's ED 88 but you can find it by just searching Thomas Sharp in Illinois, Cook. Cynthia >

I haven't read all the email in detail and so if someone's mentioned this already, I apologize! How about searching c. 1880 directories online at Footnote for other families living on Pierce. Then, take those names back to the census index and see if you can zero in on the street that way . . . Once you have, page forward and back trying to locate the exact address. If you can't find anyone from the city directories living on Pierce in the census, then something strange might be up . . . Cynthia

It sometimes happens that people were not enumerated. Sometimes whole streets were left out of the filming. Sometimes the odd or even house numbers are missing. There are various reasons for missing people and most of the time, they're mine!!

Thanks for your reply. I have located Pierce on the map it is just south of North Ave. three separate sections have compared it to the enumerations maps. I have access to the census at home on my computer. Still have not located it with the districts given. I am searching hope to find it soon. Thanks again.
