Friday born WI of German/Polish parents Date: 7/16/2003 6:36:48 AM Central Daylight Time From: rfriday@m33access.com To: GERMANS-WI-L@rootsweb.com Sent from the Internet (Details) This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Friday, Freitag, Piatec, Andrews Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/sSC.2ACIAE/30 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on the Friday, Freitag or Piatec family. Harry P. Friday was my husband's grandfather. He was born in 1867 in WI and the 1910 Census shows his father from Germany/Poland and his mother from Germany. The 1930 Census shows them from Canada. I think they probably came to Canada first and because the the sensitivity in 1930, he told the Census taker they were from Canada originally. I would be looking for the surname Friday, Freitag or Piatec. I do not know his parents names and could not find Harry on the census (under Friday) until 1910 in Menominee County MI. I do know that in 1894 he married Flora C. Andrews, born in WI of parents from NY. Any information would be helpful.<< __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Cammie, First, Norman and Oconto are not in the Milwaukee Diocese of the Catholic Church, they are in the Green bay Diocese which has not allowed the LDS to microfilm their records. Second, using the US census could help you a great deal. The 1880 census is easy to get at over the Internet: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_ census.asp Thirdly, use the county pages for Kewaunee County http://www.rootsweb.com/~wikewaun/ including cemetery inscriptions with SAGER Frank 1828 --1895 on same stone with Theresa 1830--1915. And Oconto County at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/ This one has the 1870 census for Oconto County, for instance. You are going to find a lot in a hurry!

Jeff, My grandfather was Charles ROCK, son of Herman ROCK and Wilhelmine/Minnie SCHINKE/SCHUENKE. He was born in Clintonville, Waupaca Co. in 1874. His brother William/Bill was born in Loepersdorf, Kreis Reginwalde, Prussia as was his sister ANNA. I believe the town Joseph BAYER was from was Pesthigo which is in Marinette Co. I am sorry I do not have much more information than that for you. Patti in WA state
