(*) NOTE: The Family History
Library Catalog entry for Assumption on 2434 S California says it’s for the
church on 123rd and Parnell.
It is a mistake in the catalog.
A second Assumption entry in the catalog ALSO says 123rd and
Parnell and the text is in Polish starting in 1904 so this must be the correct
123rd and Parnell.
(&) NOTE: The records for
these parishes prior to 1871 were destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire.
Note: When trying to find
which parish your family attended, keep in mind three factors:
1) The year(s) of the sacraments
you are looking for – use this to rule out churches that were not yet built or
had already closed;
2) The primary language spoken in the home – non-English-speaking immigrants probably walked past a closer parish to go to an ethnic parish;
3) Where did your family
live? You need the East-West and
North-South street coordinates (approx) to compare to the coordinates shown
below.
