What records document the Carthan household's move from Mississippi to Chicago?
Published accounts place Mamie's childhood in the Chicago area after a Mississippi birth. The archive has not yet examined a census line, school record or city directory for the household, so both the route and the years are open. The movement falls within the Great Migration period; no record in this archive states a motive for it.
