Dear friends and fellow genealogy researchers, As most of you are well aware, I have spent a great deal of time over the last several years on our family genealogy. I had planned on compiling a “Family History Book” which could be passed on to those who were interested in our ancestry and past history. I still plan to finish my book, but in the meantime, I have taken some of the material I have written and put it “online,” so that it can be shared with you and others now. It's still a work in progress, but I invite you to take a peek by visiting my web site at _www.1familytree.com_ (http://www.1familytree.com/) For other genealogy researchers, several areas that might be of help; I have now completed A-J of the burials at St. John Cemetery in Little Chute. I have also completed my transcription for the 1860 Census for Holland town and for Kaukauna, in addition to Buchanan, which was already listed on my old web pages. I will endeavor to complete the 1870 Census transcriptions for Buchanan, Holland and Kaukauna before the end of the year, as well as the 1880 for Holland town (which is almost complete.) I will continue to add information on a regular basis, and at this point still have over 100 more pictures to label and upload. So make sure to check back in another month or two. I am also interested in additional photographs, as well as any additional or missing information. Of particular interest, are any notable stories that can bring some color and life to the persons listed. And let me know if you would like your business listed on the "Business" page. I look forward to your comments, suggestions and additions. Best to all, Jay Wilpolt San Diego P.S. My apologies if you receive this email more than once. I am sending it out to several genealogy lists as well as my own mailing list.

Hi all.. just a reminder from the listowner ~ Don't be sending the entire messages back to the list~ when you reply.. cut and paste or whatever you need to do to avoid this. Brenda kingsley@aol.com

Actually I sent a message and when I got it back it was abreviated and I did not have the energy to re-type it. Loretta, it was to you. It concerned the families I research in MO--They are in MORRIS, BOTTS, ANDERSON, JONES, HOBBS, FRANKE in Knox, Lewis, Adair, ---COPPEDGE, HARRISON, SHINKLE & LOVE in Dent, Maries, Crawford, Phelps, ---COWAN & BUFF in Shannon and Greene----and MORRIS and HANSON in Dent.---- Do you have any of these in your research?--Loretta

Loretta and all, The servers at Rootsweb were being upgraded and some messages were delayed in being sent. You may get more messages as the server is back up and running now. That is what was explained on another list. va
