What People Say...

As a long time member, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the other volunteers who make SSGHS so important to those of us who live far away. I live in New Hampshire and although we have been to IL researching, many years ago, we can hardly wait to see your readings of First Lutheran. On our brief visit there, we found dozens of graves of our family members. Please take an extra photo of the tombstone of Christoph and Therese, my husband's g g grandparents, as we lost the one that we took. Once again, thanks to all of you.

Thanks for all your service with the SSGHS. This organization is a godsend for the genealogy of the south suburban area and then some. The records they've kept from the trash dump are pure gold. Those not presently into genealogy might consider supporting now, because family members down the road will certainly appreciate.

...you have some unexpected surprises. I was more than thrilled to receive a copy of a thank you letter
(WWII Harvey Letters) my father wrote from the south pacific during World War II. He said he was really happy to get the Christmas package from the Harvey committee which included a real American candy bar. I've been wondering what kind it was. I also found a history of the Methodist church on Lexington Ave. which mentioned my great grandparents. I hope to be able to explore your shelves again in the near future. Thanks for being there.

Thank you very much for locating the obituary for Jane and her brother. The information was very helpful. I have found "Cook County" a very difficult resource to work with.

Again, many thanks.
