Voter's Record Comments
  • The data in the above record is extracted from the Record and Index of Persons Registered and of Poll Lists of Voters for Chicago.
  • The address 3724 State is William's place of business. Perhaps he lived there a short while.
  • The papers may be his Declaration of Intent as generally it took five years in the country to be a citizen.
  • This data suggests a Chicago arrival of about 1886.

Voter's Record Comments
  • The data in the above record is extracted from the Record and Index of Persons Registered and of Poll Lists of Voters for Chicago.
  • The address 5734 Wabash is William's long time home.
  • The date of papers for William is way too early.
  • Some of William's residency data is inconsistent with his 1889 data. For example, there definitely was a precinct change. The eight years in State suggest an arrival in 1884, two years earlier than the1889 data implied.
  • Robert is William's brother. This data implies he arrived in Illinois in 1884 but lived outside Cook County until 1886.
