Re: [LegacyUG] Rookie mistake - how to cite?

Re: [LegacyUG] Rookie mistake - how to cite?

Thank you Jenny. Another problem I have is that the events took place in Chicago, and all records except some church records (and other possible private records) were destroyed by the great Chicago fire of 1871, making it harder to find anything before that time period. This thread could be a good
