Post subject: Records from Chicago church possible?
Looking for information on the marriage of my great grandparents from 1890. I have a page from some church book that I found on film at the Mormon Library after finding them at St. Stanislaus Kostka church in Chicago on PGSA. Any suggestions as to where else to look to find info on them? Would the church have anything that far back??? This is the first time I have found her name listed anywhere.

Check out the website of the Polish Genealogical Society in Chicago (pgsa.org). They have some records from a few of the traditional Polish churches in Chicago.

Pgsa has a database on its site for polish marriages where they may be listed. Also you can go directly to St. Stanislaus Kostka for the record when you have the date.
