Best suggestion is to check phone books of the era and determine where
her mother lived in Chicago.  Then try
Church records of the denomination she belonged to.  That is a good
starting point.

Subject: [Genealib] War Bride



Hello, I hope someone can help with this question. I am helping a patron
whose mother was a WW II German war bride. He mother told her she came
over on a troop transport ship after the war with 1 or 2 small children.
She married a US soldier in Germany. His military records were
apparently destroyed in St. Louis so that avenue appears to be blocked.
Her mother lived in Chicago but never became a US citizen. Where can she
go for information about her mother?

 

Thank you very much for any suggestions.
