Chicago book and event

The April newsletter of the Chicago Genealogical Society brings word of a long-awaited publication: Chicago Cemetery Records 1847-1863, 296 pages of sexton's reports and certificates, treasurer receipts, deeds, and undertakers' reports for $50 + $5 shipping. If you have pre-Fire research targets, either buy it or start a campaign for your local library to do so.

CGS and the Newberry Library co-sponsor a May 2 workshop with Maureen Taylor, the Photo Detective -- we're already too late for the early-bird registration discount.
