Is anyone doing lookups in Germans to America? I am looking for Heinrich KELLERMANN who came with his brothers Ferdinand and Bernhard sometime between 1863 and 1867. Thanks for any help. D. Kellerman

Does anyone have access to a city directory or phone book for the city of Barron in Barron Co for the year 1907? I would like a list of undertakers if someone is willing and able to help me. Thanks in advance. Janet Enloe in Monarch, MT

Everyone, I own a copy of the 1924 -Hx. of Lincoln, Vilas and Oneida Counties. I will post a list of surnames included (hopefully tomorrow), also will do look-ups. I found this copy in my Grandparents attic. Robin

No the gantleman I am looking for is William Monroe Howard. He married a Fanny Gossett in Warren County Illinois. They moved to Pierce Co., Wisconsin and raised their family.

I don't know anything about this movie but it's on Cinemax tonight at 7:30 CDT. Is anyone familiar with it? It's described as follows: The 1890s misfortunes of the town of Black River Falls are re-enacted and recalled through archival materials. This "darkly comic" documentary ws inspired by book of the same title by Michael Lesy, who found a strange concentration of weird and tragic events in the town. Was Black River Falls really "in the throes of madness"? Lita I have gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, please ask me to wait!

I want to thank the following for their help in getting info about Cameron, Black River Falls, WI and Alma Discher: Donna--Cathy K--Jo--Nancy--Rosemarie & Cheryl. Without people like you, willing to take a little extra time to help someone else, is most appreciated by this lowly family genealogist. Again, Many, Many thanks, Joan/Patti from MI

Hi all! I am sure the Higgins books are a great source of info but I do want to tell anyone that is doing research in The Townsend surname the book that they have on the Three Townsend brothers, John, Henry and Richard can be ordered from the Townsend society in Oyster Bay, New York and it is a hard cover beautifully decorated and only 17.50. I am not putting the books down believe me but we all know we have to cut corners when possible. Here is a link to the Oyster Bay society.

Well, I ordered a few of their books a couple of years ago. They are definitely paperback books---in fact, they are Xerox pages that are stapled together. They have a paper cover---not very substantial in my opinion. But the information is all there---at least I sure hope it was!! I was satisfied---I would not recommend these books for any library, unless they were three- hold punched and put into a notebook. They aren't that stiff that they could stand up on a shelf. If it is just for yourself, go for it!!!
