[#10215] To Roger Thauland, USA

[Gjest Laila N. Christiansen]

Hi Roger! I am trying to help a norwegian guy to find some family in the US. Now I need some help in Chicago. Is it hard to find obituaries for Chicago area for 1988?Laila

[Gjest Roger Thauland]

Hi Laila, -The Chicago Tribune is 'online' from 1985 at most Chicago area libraries. What are the names and dates? Roger.

[Gjest Laila N. Christiansen]

Thank you, Roger! The person is:REIDAR OVESON 02 Aug 1912 03 Mar 1988 60641 (Chicago, Cook, IL) (none specified) 323-07-2024 IllinoisHope you find something!! Laila

[Gjest Roger Thauland]

The Trib did not have it; the phone number for his (i suspose) widow in Arlington Heights has been disconnected. Not so good...but there is hope, perhaps the Daily Herald published a notice, so i called around and found a library with this paper on film, they will do a lu and then call me. This might take a day. Roger.

[Gjest Laila N. Christiansen]

Ok, Roger, I'll wait! If you could e-mail me the name of the widow, I could do some lookarounds too.....Thanks again, you are a gift to this group!! We need people from the other side of the pond..... Laila

[Gjest Roger Thauland]

Well the online version of the Trib is 'not so good' as grandma would have said. A film researcher found this published March 4 1988: Reidar Oveson, husband of Mary(nee Hanks,) father of William (Maureen) and Julie (Dennis) Sundin. 5 grandchildren. (not named). Roger. (if you email an address i will mail to Norway; advise if i help with followups)

Altså, han heter Dennis E. Sundin, skulle vært et komma der - det er ikke East 147 Glen Rd... Og det er Dennis som har navnebrødre (sommerbolig i FL?), ikke William. Seint på kveld, gitt.
