Thank you, thank you, thank you, Darrel! ~Karima >From theSouthern.com: "Historians or students curious about life in Cairo 150 years ago - or families trying to trace an ancestor - can thank Darrel Dexter for shedding new light (and a bit of heat) on those days by making available thousands of stories from newspapers of the day. "Dexter, a rural Jonesboro resident who is a history teacher, genealogist and author, has read every surviving issue of Cairo newspapers published between 1841 and 1873, and transcribed nearly 5,000 obituaries and hundreds of other articles. "Some of the articles talk about mundane matters, but others paint a vivid picture of what Dexter calls "a wild river town." There were gunfights in the streets, legendary houses of prostitution, labor disputes, Civil War news and tales of sheer orneriness. "All the articles now are posted on the Internet to be used by researchers at no charge, on the website of the Genealogy Society of Southern Illinois. "Ed O'Day of Carbondale, the GSSI webmaster, calls Dexter "a tireless worker who keeps plugging away at those obituaries." Dexter is a former student of O'Day at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He holds a master's degree from Southeast Missouri State University and has published 28 books on history and genealogy."

Have you searched in the "collar areas" to Chicago? They may have located just outside the city borders, but went to either the nearest (or their 'favorite') hospital which was in Chicago for the birth. Or they may have settled farther away, visited Chicago, and the baby decided to surprise them with an arrival that was a bit early. Or, if you "know" but haven't proven with a birth certificate, that your birth mother was born in Chicago, remember that when one is "far away" from home...and no one knows where your hometown is, sometimes you say Chicago to give an idea of where in the U.S. you mean. So maybe you were born in "Wayne" and to help the listener you just say "near Chicago" or even "Chicago." It happens. Have you tried searching for only the last name, thus getting answers from all over the United States?

He is my GGgrandfather. His son William Joseph was my great grand father and I new him well. My dad tells me that at some point Calvin disappeared never to be heard of again. He says my great grandfather Bill said he thought he saw him once when traveling out west, possibly California but was not able to catch up to him and lost him in the crowd.
