I am writing to inquire if someone has access to old Catholic church directories for the years 1844-1862 for the Chicago Archdiocese and Joliet diocese. I am looking for the following individuals: . Peter and Margaretha Einhorn and family, 1844-1853, probably St. James in New Strassburg, now called Sauk Village, or possibly St. Anne's in Rich township. . Arnold and Anna Maria Krudewig/Kroutwich (or any vaguely similar spelling) and family, 1844-1862, probably St. James, possibly St. Anne's . Michael and Barbara Einhorn, 1851-1862, St. Peters in Chicago. . Joseph and Barbara Einhorn, ?1851-1900, St. Peters in Chicago. Thanks, Katie Brown

Katie Brown, The Diocese of Chicago was created in 1844 with the consecration of Bishop William Quarter as the first bishop of Chicago. The Diocese of Joliet was not created until 1948. So in the time frame of 1844-1862 all of your people would have been in the Diocese of Chicago. There are no individual membership directories of Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Your best bet in trying to locate your people would be to go to www.familysearch.org and check out the Family History Center Library catalogue to see what records the Mormons have microfilmed for the churches in question. The Mormons have microfilmed Sacramental Record Books containing Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths for the churches in the Archdiocese of Chicago through 1915. According to the book, "A History of the Parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago" edited by Monsignor Harry Koenig and published in 1980, land was set aside in New Strassburg (Sauk Village), Illinois in 1842 for a Catholic Church. This property was located near where Interstate 394 crosses Sauk Trail. The cemetery for St. James Church is located on the northeast corner of that intersection. The book states that according to a Catholic directory for 1847-1848 the church in New Strassburg was visited occasionally from Chicago. The 1849 directory says that a Reverend Mr. Carius attends that church. The Catholic Directory mentioned in the book is probably "The Official Catholic Directory" which has been published yearly by J. P. Kennedy and Sons since the 1830's. This directory contains information on every diocese in the United States. It includes the names of parishes, addresses, telephone numbers, etc. for each parish in the diocese and information about the various Catholic institutions in the diocese etc. Thomas Mackowiak -----Original Message----- From: il-cook-chicago-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:il-cook-chicago-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dale & Katie Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 3:19 AM To: cook-co-il@rootsweb.com; il-cook-chicago@rootsweb.com Subject: [IL-COOK-CHICAGO] old Catholic directories I am writing to inquire if someone has access to old Catholic church directories for the years 1844-1862 for the Chicago Archdiocese and Joliet diocese.

http://opengen.net/usa/states/illinois/vital-record-batch-numbers-by-county/index IGI "Extracted" Vital records for Cook Co can be found on this page, there are many but it should not be too hard to search, unfortunately they begin for the most part in the 1870's This website has IGI batch numbers for most states, some with more and some with less <G> but always worth a try.
