Chicago History Research
by Christina A. Reynen, Archivist

Do you need research done in Chicago about the famous, the infamous or just a member of your family?

Would you like to know your family’s history
but don’t have the time to do it?

Are you hitting a brickwall in your own research?
Do you need help getting started?

Do you need your personal or family papers or business records organized according to archival practice for preservation and easy retrieval?

Call or Email for more information.

I specialize in Chicago history, court records, immigration records, biographies and family history.

I was the compiler of the Biographical Dictionary in the "Encyclopedia of Chicago" (University of Chicago Press, 2004) where I researched over 2,000 Chicagoans mentioned in the main body of the book.
The Encyclopedia and Biographical Dictionary can be found at http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/11117.html
