So, you all might like to know what I've been up to since my last post...I have spent my day doing research. It is just like looking for a needle in a haystack. (Hate cliches, but it is true.)
H. H. Holmes, aka, horrific serial killer of Chicago, built what was dubbed his 'murder castle' on the corner of 63rd St. and Wallace in the southern part of the city. It was 10 blocks from a Catholic Church that my great grandparents were married at! I had to find a link to where they lived in Chicago, and all day I've found zilch, until I found their marriage license online!! That means they lived in the very same neighborhood as Holmes. I suspected it, but this confirms it.
I found out some other cool stuff about my ancestors today, but it wasn't related to this stuff. I even met a man online who is related to me--my greatgrandparents are his grandparents. He said he has some photos he wants to scan and email me! I'm super excited!!
I should have been a detective. Just call me Private Eye.
