Will be going to Madison WI in September and am planning to do some family research while there. Cd someone send me the address of the Wisconsin Genealogical Society? I belonged to it some time ago, but have lost their address and would like to renew my membership. Here's my family. If there is anyone out there who has connections to this branch of the POWERS family from Madison, I would like to hear from them. Also, if anyone can point me in the right direction to do research in Madison, I would appreciate it. R.F. Powers m Rhoda C. Kidd in NYC in 1850. They had one daughter Lily E (born 1854 in NY). Sometime between 1854 and 1856, they moved to Madison. A second daughter Grace was born in 1858 and a son Ralston Farr ( my grandfather) was born in 1859. The family can be found in the 1860 Federal Census living in Madison (2nd ward, dwelling 251, page 34, line 22). I believe R.F. Powers died on April 2, 1861, as Rhoda purchased a grave site in Forest Hill Cemetery on April 3. In 1876 Ralston Farr Powers was living in San Francisco. He died there in 1913. Does anyone know what happened to Rhoda, Lily and Grace? Also, there may be a connection to a David J. Powers (wife was Eliza A.). Their children were Lorraine E., Francis, and Edmnd H. David may have been related to R.F. Powers as they were involved in several land deals. David's occupation was an Editor and a manufacturer and dealer in farm machinery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Patricia
