We have just updated the Colorado History Homepage (AHGP and ALHN affiliated). Specifically we now have the 1939 State Employees Retirement Board report. Also have three Colorado State Home and Training School Reports (Ridge). Until we get them on line, we will do lookups. We have added several new county links from the state page. And we are looking for county coordinators. If you are interested, please get in touch with us. Our Denver County homepage has been updated, and recently we updated Adams County.

I would love to get my hands on that book! If you can get me a title and author I will see if I can get it through the Library of Congress and have it sent here to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin or see if the Boulder County Historical Society can do an inter-library loan to the WSHS here. It may even be here already if the title or subject is something other than Beckman or Beckmann, but a MadCat/ArCat search shows nothing for the Beckman name. If you want the original church records from Dölitz or St. John's in Monroe, Wisconsin (My family still are members of the church) let me know. I should have photographed copies of them.

We know nothing of his parents. We were told that he was born on a reservation and was full commanche. Also, that he was called Blackie because as a small child he became seperated from his family in the snow, got frostbite, and was picked up by a white family that raised him. All we have is that his real Mother's name was White-Dove-Floating Do you have anything that might help with this search?

That year Dr. Buchanan joined CU as an assistant professor of marketing and advertising. He eventually became a full professor and served as the associate dean of the College of Business and Administration at CU-Denver. He retired in 1994. ``He (was) a highly respected professor in the business school,'' his sister said. Dr. Buchanan wrote extensively, not only in business and investment management, but also poetry. ``He wrote poems all his life,'' said his sister. He wrote Animal Stories for People in 1961 and Quality of Mercy in 1966. His poetry has been published in Art Times, The Poet's Pen, American Cowboy, Ariel and other publications. His poem D-Day 1994 won first place in the 1996 Colorado Columbine Poets competition, and his recently published collection of poems, The Cowboy State I and II, won the 1997 Domino Award for the Master Poet and Best Chapbook Collection.

For some odd reason I put down Boulder, but it's actually Berkeley Town in Arapahoe County. I couldn't find Berkeley Town so it may have changed it's name since 1900.

Just wondering. I recently sent to Boulder Co. for birth records for my grandparents (Elmer Curtis Swallow and Blanche Edna Hastings), born in Gold Hill in the 1880s. I got back a 'no record.' Also, on the marriage record for these two the date was two days after the date they themselves listed as their wedding. I suppose it was not unusual that births might not have been recorded then and that the marriage record bears the date it was recorded rather than when it took place? Since I'm not very experienced, I would just like to hear an opinion, or two.... Thank you, Leah

They cover the period 1859-1900 and one is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Marriages, Anniversaries, Divorces, Births and Birthdays / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co/July 1991" And the other is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Deaths and the Insane / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co / July 1991" I trust her extracts but beware of my typing. Hope I'm accurate. Only found this one entry - 1. Obit - "Sigler, Walter d 24 Feb 1882 from injuries received when he fell from the Wagon & struck his head in a runaway accident near McFall ranch on St. Vrain. He was hauling fence posts from Chapman School on Upper St. Vrain to his home recently purchased from Thomas McCall. Youngest son of M. & Sophronia Sigler. Funeral sermon preached by Rev. Flory at the Dunkard Church. (NAC 3 Mar 1882;3 - 2 articles; HW 1 Mar 1882:8; 1880 Longmont census has his age as 15)" [NAC=Boulder News and Courier ; HW=Boulder County Herald Weekly ; notes are in the book and by Mrs. Roberts] That was the only one I could find. I also checked the 3 sites that deal with Boulder County. Thay have very good coverage of the cemeteries up there and I couldn't find any listing for any Sigler. Hope this helps David
