I have went to the church that they attened and found nothing in the church records either. And for the person that has Skibbes in their line, I too had a Arthur Skibbe in Chicago but has since passed away. He was born in 1901 in Chicago and died 1976 in Chicago. I have not kept up on his children since. He had a brother William, George, Edward, Louis and 3 sisters Margaret and Ruth and Meta. That was Wilhelm and Julianna Panzer Skibbes son.

The Index of DuPage County Naturalization Records is a listing of the records so we do have the full volume. It's in the STDL reference collection at R 929.3 IND tho, it is not a circulating book....
