listers My great-grandfather Daniel Edward Devlin was a court reporter for the Chicago Tribune in the late 19th century and early 20th. He and a business associate Sam Roberts had their office at 111 W. Washington St. His son later went into the business and married a woman named Evelyn who was also a court reporter. Daniel was said to have instrumental in unionizing the court reporter profession. How could I research that claim? How can I find out what cases they covered? (Other than scan the Tribune?) I live near Washington DC. Any help appreciated. Maureen Devlin

If the former is the case, then I would call the Cook County Assumed Name Index and find out how far back their archives go. > > > > ==== IL-OLD-NEWS Mailing List ==== > Illinois Newspapers > http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com/IL/ > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > > _____________________________________________________ > This message scanned for viruses by CoreComm >
