Thanks --another option I can use. I've been mulling things over. Found a
website with a software program with a form/chart for city directories, but
not so sure I need everything else that comes with it! lol. I find city
directories particularly fascinating. (Mapping out all the address changes
and pinpointing how close they lived to a particular church, etc. I just
ordered a book on Chicago churches to assist in this and I purchased one of
the reprinted old maps of Chicago too. I have local access to Chicago city
directories and while working with them, i figured there had to be a form out
there. I've got an altered genealogy record form on paper I have been playing
with but hadn't made anything on the computer yet. For cemeteries, I bought a
package of forms at the last conference. Really nice, and room for a photo.
