I just looked at it, I am not sure that I would invest in it without a trial look.... To me it looks like when I check on "locate birth certificates" I would end up on rootsweb list of vital record addresses. I also so that "new information added *FEQUENTLY* (define frequent) There are people with personal web sites that add DAILY... Anyway, if your curiosity has you and you cannot find an endorsement either way, I would go with the minimum investment to check it out... Let us know what you find if you decide to do it.... I may be completely wrong, I am just suspicious by nature (or ancestry) >>grin<< Iris

I want to thank Janice, Sheri and Edgar for the their assistance in the Germans to America look up. Thank you so much for looking up the Maaske's for me. I thought for sure that it would be them with so many of the names being of the same family as mine, but apparently the Maaske family I am looking for must have came after the ones on the German's to America CD. I have found that they lived and were born in was Strebelow, Prussia, Germany, now in Poland and called Strzebielewo, but I am have a real hard time finding when they arrived in this country. A lady in San Diego who has access to the latest German's to America books, was unable to find them. I guess I just have to keep looking for some clue or hope that revisions to German's to America will eventually list them. Thanks again for your time and help. I truly appreciate it.

Hi Diana, I have the Cemetery listing you're looking for. It's was listed in the April issue of WSGS Newsletter as Big Creek/United Methodist Church/Union Cemetery. It is location on County Trunk B, Sec. 7, Sparta Township of Monroe county. The only Dickinsons I see in the cemetery are Alton B. 1878-1949 Linda E. 1880-19--(No death date as of 1981 when listing was made) Another plot- Gerald G. 1917- Mary 1920-1976 If you need any other lookups in this cemetery, let me know. Good Luck, Jo > thanks for the info. a list member sent me info on some Dickinson's and I > am trying to figure out if they are related. could be if this Big Creek is > near Sparta and mine are in Monroe County WI. THANKS!!!! Diana

One can't imagine how pleased I was to received in my mail today a copy of a "RECORD OF FUNERAL from Taylor Funeral Home, Wisconsin Rapids, Wi. I requested information on my grandmother's half brother. Imagine how pleased I was to know that my grandmother's half brother married my grandmother's 2nd husband's sister (confusing maybe, but not to me!). No one told me that. No wonder she kept tabs on this half brother and let the other's go by. It also helps me continue my search. I'm still trying to locate any PRINTZ in either PORTAGE COUNTY and WOOD COUNTY. Seems MATHIAS PRINTZ dropped off the face for this earth. I now know JOHN JACOB PRINTZ, first son of MATHIAS PRINTZ, married AMELIA HAZA who brother FLORIAN HAZA was my GRANDMOTHER's second husband and the only grandpa I knew! Anyone with any information regarding PRINTZ or HAZA, please let me know. Joanne

I am in search of information about the Pilgrim Home Cemetery. Is is located in Monroe or LaCrosse County? Trying to find out about a wife I just discovered for my Great Uncle. All my Wisconsin Cousins said he was never married and his obituaries say different. One in the La Crosse Trib says he was preceded in Death by his wife and the Sparta Herald says he married Anna Neuman in 1910 and she died in 1957. Anyone know anything of the Neuman Family or her husband Raymond Otto Andres? Thanks in advance, Dena

Today I received a copy of an obituary for my great grandfather from the Norwalk Star dated April 6, 1928 . Along with it was another article about Marjorie Haag... Hope this helps someone. Marjorie Haag, little 3 year old daughter of Mr and Mrs. Warner Haag, who reside sound of Mindoro had a very narrow escape Saturday afternoon when attacked by a bull in the barnyard. The Animal threw her against the stone wall of the bar and she was bruised quite badly about the face, head and body. Her little brother Clifford, 7 years old drove the animal away, or more serious injury might have been the result. --- West Salem Journal. Dena Koch-Miner

from The Boscobel Dial, August 3, 2000, section 1, page 5 GAR / WRC News Doris Cruckson, president of the Women's Relief Corps #32 of Boscobel and Lorie Hooker, secretary and treasurer attended the Wisconsin Department of the Women's Relief Corps 117th annual meeting this past week at the Wisconsin Veteran's Home at King. They were installed by the National Women's Relief Corps President, Mary Phelps as the new president and treasurer of the Wisconsin Department of the Women's Relief Corps. Arlene Wagner of Lancaster, was re-elected as secretary. They will be attending the National Women's Relief Corps meeting at Springfield, Ill., on August 6-9. There are nine Women's Relief Corps' and 160 members in Wisconsin. The Corps' are involved in special projects of the Middleton Veteran's Hospital, Madison; Zeblocki Medical Center, Milwaukee; the Tomah Veterans Hospital; the Veterans Home at King; the Boscobel G.A.R. Hall and the National Department projects including the National W.R.C. Museum in Springfield, Ill.

The GAR Hall in Boscobel will be open this weekend during the 8th annual Muskets & Memories Civil War Weekend. http://www.boscobelwisconsin.com/sched.html *excerpts from The Boscobel Dial, August 3rd edition, section 1, pg 1 Century-old minutes help reveal GAR's historic past The Hall became a Wisconsin Heritage site last June because it is the last hall in the state still being used for its orginal purpose -a meeting place for the WRC. Ten members strong, the WRC works hard to preserve records, equipment, and photographs from the Civil War and its aftermath. The Women's Relief Corp has alphabetized membership applications including all past members of the GAR and WRC along with their occupations and addresses. "We need new members, interested people and guides" Doris Cruckson stated. The WRC would like to grow stronger in order to continue the financing the prservation of the hall. The group wants to continue preserving the community's past and providing, as it always has, a meeting place to commemorate Civil War veterans.

This is an interesting sleuthing problem. I'd guess you found this reference in PERSI. If you had actually seen the WSGS newsletter, it would have told you at least what county the cemetery was in, and probably detailed its location pretty precisely. Coming at your problem from a different angle, you could consult the book "Wisconsin, Its Counties, Townships & Villages" (published in 1994 by Origins, Janesville, WI). It states that the only place in Wisconsin called Big Creek is in Monroe County, but they couldn't figure out in what township. Not having read your query carefully enough (you clearly stated the name of the cemetery was Union, but somehow I skipped over that and thought "Big Creek" might be the *name* of the cemetery, rather than its location), I looked in another very useful book published by Origins ("Cemetery Locations in Wisconsin", 1998, 1999). It lists three Big Creek Cemeteries, in Monroe, Sauk and Juneau Counties. Finally, I looked at the list of cemetery inscriptions on the WSGS web site (www.wsgs.org). The only Big Creek Cemetery for which transcriptions have been published in their newsletter is in Sparta Township, Monroe County. I'd certainly conclude that this is the location you want. Later: Having now looked at PERSI myself on the Ancestry web site, I have to take back my guess that you found this reference in PERSI. The relevant information from this search is that the rest of the transcription appeared in the April 1983 issue of the WSGS newsletter. You can get copies of these transciptions from WSGS--ordering details are on their website. I've had my sleuthing fun for the night. Back to work! Rollie
