How do I find my 2nd cousin in IL possibly Chicago?

My gradfather and my cousins grandfathere were brothers. I used to correspond with her a long time ago. They lived in Chicago I have an address where they lived but I am pretty sure they no longer live there. I live in Chicago now and would like to make contact with her. What would be the best way? Where do I go to check who lives in their house now?

u r taking the piss, right ?

I dont understand why you are so rude. I cant knock onto someones door and ask if they know where the previous owner is.
I think its you who is taking the **** here.

Why not?

What does that question mean? Wroclaw, not everyone reading this forum is British. You should really should try to write in non-idiomatic English. You should also allow posters their anonymity when it is promised to them by the Forum's Guidelines. Either that or expose everyone posting under multiple user names and not just those posters whom you dislike. I saw you expose the multiple usernames of Grubas for example but you've never exposed the multiple user names of any of the British expatriates who troll this forum abusing others. Why is that? Aren't you biased against Polonians and at the beck and call of said expatriates? Do you remember how you even changed a thread title about the tennis player Amanda Stosur at the expatriates urging because they didn't want to see her called Polish-Australian. That was really pathetic on your part.

Would seem to be the most sensible thing. I've got the contact details for the people who used to live here...

Ah, Dessie is back. Where's my popcorn?

I have no contact with the former owners of this flat, but as it used to be a brothel, I'd don't really want their contact details.

To the OP, why go there? Why not just write a polite letter addressed to the occupier?

Delph: what on earth makes you think Dessie is back?

They did it in the Blues Brothers (kind of) so why not :D

The worst thing that is likely to happen is they will say "I've no idea".

Unless of course it's turned into a meth lab, like something out of "Miami SWAT"... then people might get upset. lol.

Or maybe they're survivalists with guns and long beards.

I dunno, you know when you just get that feeling?

(the fact that he, like his username, couldn't even get the tennis player's name right says it all)


And lots of silver in the basement.

on the floor !
:D

Szczotka,Why can't you knock on the door and ask?What do you have to lose by doing this?You never know she may still live there and

even if she doesn't the current occupant may know where she is;you just never know.Worth a try.

You can look up the address on US White Pages, to see if current occupant's phone # is listed.

You can also look up a property owner's name under Tax Accessor. Try checking the information provided, for the county in which they live.

You can also throw brick and see what will happen !

Most households in the States have no problem with someone knocking on the door and asking for a former tenant.
