Hello Listers, I really need your help. My grandparents: John Hardin born 1855 Tx.and Anna/Annie Vass born 1864 Ky.They first met in Chicago,Ill. Anna came there in 1880. John, abt.1884.They apparently weren't married there though.There are persons with those names,but not the two marrying each other.I have checked the Illinois site many times.Using all sorts of spellings. So I thought I would try Iowa. I do not happen to have a map of the states handy right now. How long would it take a young unmarried couple to come to Iowa from the Chicago,Ill. area? Would someone mind looking in marriage books or records for these two people. I would be so gratefull for any help. Dianne Hardin in Ca.

Dianne, Penny is the list romantic, I am the list nit-picker. The only Anna Vass I find in 1880 Chicago is enumerated as born in Germany in 1859. How do you place your Ky Anna Vass in Chgo in 1880 & John there in 1884? Have you checked with the Newberry library in Chicago for city directories in that time period? Where do you have your Anne in 1860 & 1870? John in 60/70/80? Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
