Well thanks for the info. I never knew that about the currency. Anyway, I did look up Liberace because I never heard he was born there either. The one site I saw said he was born in West Allis which I think is down by Milwaukee or possibly by Madison. I don't think it was Menasha. It's really great to learn new stuff every day.

Check out the new on-line index at the Wisconsin Historical Society http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/index.asp http://www.wisconsinhistory.org see FAQ's http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/faq.asp 1. What sources are indexed? More than 1500 publications were indexed by Wisconsin Historical Society librarians between 1870 and 1970. These included 150 county and local histories, dozens of professional directories and biographical encyclopedias, more than 60 scrapbooks containing 30,000 obituaries, and selected articles in Wisconsin magazines and newspapers. It combines the old card file you probably knew as the Wisconsin Necrology with newly added material and it's now a on-line index.

If there is such a book, I would be VERY interested in a lookup for John DuPont and Rosa, sometime around 1820-1835, who are my ultimate brick wall.

<< Allen County Public Library Genealogy Department OPEN!!! >> Want to let everyone know it is really nice there. Was there last Saturday with the DSGR Annual Bus Trip. The stacks are open and it is SOOOOO nice to be able to read the different titles in the area I am interested in. The collection is LARGE. Finding a place to eat was the only problem. Take a sandwich with you and maybe go outside to eat. There might be plans for that problem, but taking a sandwich with you could avoid any major problems for you. Susanne

Whoops - wrong title - It was: Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region 1701-1911 by Dennissen.

There used to be a book in the Seattle public Library - it was 2 volumes and it listed marriages around Milwaukee. Seems it was called something like Marriages of Northern Wisconsin. The books were blue. Do any of you know the correct title? I would like a look up for a marriage of Baptist LaSart and Mary ? between 1830 and 1860. Thank you. Karen

My grandmothers Maiden name was ADLER and she was from Milwaukee WI. if interested let me know thanks Lynda

Sorry I misspell it. it is Wheeler, Wi. Dorothy

I believe that it is now called Weeler. It is near Menomonie, Wi. west of Eau Claire. Dorothy
