Holy Cow! Where are my Chicago Catholic’s Now?

Henrickson Room, Arlington Heights Memorial Library,

>>> NOTE CHANGE IN VENUE & EARLY START TIME<<<

The first Chicago Catholic church opened in 1833, and by 1900 there were about 140 Catholic churches in the city. Finding your Catholic ancestor’s sacramental records (baptism, confirmation, marriage and funeral) can be a daunting task without a few key pieces of information. This lecture will explain how to find the data necessary to tap into these valuable resources. Once potential churches are identified, the process of finding the records for that church and timeframe will be explained.

Teresa Steinkamp McMillin, CG, is author of the Guide to Hanover Military Military Records 1514-1866 on Microfilm at the Family History Library. She researches German ancestry and specializes in reading German script. She regularly speaks for national, regional and local genealogical societies and conferences. Recently she recorded two courses for Ancestry Academy.

Amelia Earhart’s courageous exploits and spirited personality made her an international celebrity in the early 20th century. In this lively living history portrayal by actress Leslie Goddard, meet Amelia and learn about her experiences. She’ll describe how she learned to fly, what inspired her and why she set off on an around-the-world flight in 1937.

Prior to the presentation will be the election of the new board at the end-of-year Business Meeting. And we will have our Annual Potluck Social, so please bring a dish to share.
