Please give your recommendation: A woman was looking for the parents of her mother (not in meeting the mother.) A 1958 Chicago marriage license and certificate indicated her parents were married by a judge. Her father was 24; her mother 16. Their daughter, a family search library patron, was born in 1959 and her parents were divorced six months later. Her father’s older sister adopted the patron. She had met her paternal grandparents. Her father’s family lived in Minnesota and as far as the patron knew had never lived in Chicago. Her father appears with his parents and siblings in the 1940 census. I suggested that she look in the Chicago telephone directories for all people of her mother’s maiden name for the years before and after 1959. And consider researching those families. As I recall the name was Albrect. I encouraged her to post a query at RootsWeb, etc. Perhaps she could locate school records schools near the location of the court in which she was married. If there were a community newspaper there is a small chance of a wedding announcement. She decline the name of a Chicago researcher. My question is academic. I may never see the patron again. Thank you for your thoughts about finding the patron’s maternal parents. LeRoy
