For what it's worth, Hugh Ptolemy and Maude Ptolemy (nee Shirley) were previous owners of the house I currently own in the Chicago area. They had children, including a daughter Ethel who sold the house in 1961 after Hugh died in 1960 (circa July 1960?). I am in the early stages of researching the history of my house, so that's all I know so far, but I would be interested in finding out more about them or sharing more should I learn more myself. Feel free to contact me at andrew3cooper [at] yahoo. Best regards,

Andrew

Just saw your post; Hugh's mother was my ancestor, Mary Cinader (Snyder); she married Alexander Ptolemy. I do not have any contacts with their direct descendents; my great great grandfather John was Mary's brother. I would be interested in learning what you learn about your house's history. Hugh's aunt/uncle Nellie & John Waldie lived in Chicago area also; most of the rest of the family/descendents were in Michigan, Wayne/Oakland county area.
