Finding a Chicago Christening...

I'm working on the "Casefile Clues" column to be sent out on Sunday. It discusses the process I used to find the christening of my wife's grandmother in Chicago. It was a somewhat drawn out process, but it turns out it is closest thing to a primary document I have for her birth. Those who want to know why this Catholic baptism is the "closest thing" to a primary document and not a primary document will have to stay tuned to "Casefile Clues."
