Thomas Coyne & Nora King's Chicago Residences

Perhaps one of the most surprising discoveries of our genealogical inquiry has been the frequency with which Thomas Coyne and Nora King, my great-grandparents (dad's mother's parents) moved residences. Still more surprising is the relatively short distances that they moved each time. With each historical record - birth certificate, death certificate, naturalization papers - there is a new address. Here is a map with them pinpointed, followed by a summary timeline with sources in brackets:
