Is there anyone in Nekoosa or Port Edwards who would be willing to help me with the surname of PRINTZ. Please email at jlawor@uswest.net

Robert: Thank you - I'll try those areas and see if I can't find anyone. Please keep my email address if ever you come across any PRINTZ or PRINCE from Wisconsin. I find no match other than Wi and Mi. My family were from Poland/Germany and did not settle in the south.

For those of us who are new at research on the web - there is a site www.hamrick.com/names it's self explanatory and it can be useful when trying to locate a area in the US where most of the people with the same surname lived. The dates are based on the Census. Joanne

I read your interesting note about your busy life. I glanced up and saw KEUHL..one of the names i am researching! Actually I am researching KUHL - same thing! My g grandparents were Lewis and Amelia Elizabeth KUHL. (Amelis was known as Emma or Emilie.) Supposedly, Lewis died when my grandmother was a toddler and my g grandmother married again-this time to Hugo STUMPE. If you come across this line, please email me. Susan Hantke-Ogden also researching HOLTZ, GROSSKREUZ, HANTKE, STUMPE, CLANCY. At 01:44 PM 8/8/00 -0700, you wrote: >Hi! Just a short note to all of those people who normally hear from me >routinely.

Although there are always errors in this process, such as the many former, buried citizens of Chicago reputed to have continued to vote :-).

Hi Fellow Listers, I'm under the impression that U.S. Natualization is a voluntary act for foreign born persons. On the 1870 Wausau Census it shows my ancestor George Rhodes, born in England, as being eligible to vote. Would this mean that a person who is eligible to vote has to be a Naturalized Citizen? If so, would those records be found in the local court house or the Federal Court? And is it posssible to find an index online? Thank you in advance Melville Fletcher Tokyo, Japan

Joanne: Can't help you too much, 'cept to relate a story from our family research. Back in the 1970s my folks were making a research stop for me in Nekoosa/Port Edwards. They found a Prinz/Printz lady who recalled our Epp family making a stop there in the earliest part of the 1900s. She related that our Epp family rented a farm west of the city. To be able to have recalled this 1906-1911 info, she would have had to have been 80ish when she spoke with my parents. Not likely that you would still be to contact her.

I am searching for the "Town of Texas" in Wisconsin. The "Town of Texas" does not appear on the ZIP code list from the USPS, and is not on the index of Wisconsin maps.

Does someone have access to the book HISTORY OF WAUKESHA COUNTY WI 1880? and if so, there is information in the book regarding a Charles Vrooman/Vroman and Stephen Vrooman/Vroman which I would like a copy of. In fact any Vrooman/Vroman would be perfect. Thank you for your consideration. Diana Morse
