Notes on Herbert and Elizabeth Jordan Addresses
  • The three Jordan boys Harold, Herb, and Ed said they moved 17 times while growing up in Chicago.
  • Later Harold, Herb, and Ed Jordan tried to list them, but they couldn't remember them all nor could they always agree on the dates and exact addresses. For the period 1919-1934, a listing is made from their recollections and the additional input from the 1978 audio tape between Ed Jordan and his mother where they discussed this topic. Inevitably there are probably some errors in the above list given the number of places they lived.
  • Of note is the number of places, Elizabeth Jordan mentioned in the 1978 audio tape where she mentioned they owned the home.
