Hi, Verlaine ~

You may just have to read through the 1880 census page by page, though admittedly, Chicago will a bear to do (do you have an idea of the district they lived in?). That's the way I found a GGGF after giving up on searching all the known variations of his name. When I found him, the spelling of his surname was way off; it wasn't even phonetically spelled. Fortunately, it was a much smaller town, though!
