Hi Star. I have found that the local Area Research Centers for the Wisconsin Historical Society to be very helpful. You can contact the one in Milwaukee and maybe they can point you in the right direction. There is one of these facilities at 14 different locations in Wisconsin, each with records for their particular areas, usually around a UW campus. The contact info for the Milwaukee branch is: Timothy L. Ericson Golda Meir Library UW-Milwaukee, P.O. Box 604 Milwaukee, WI 53201 414-229-6980 archives@gml.lib.uwm.edu Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: Star Ostgard [mailto:ostarella@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 1:29 PM To: GERMANS-WI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GERMANS-WI] Re: Troegel/Trogel of Milwaukee The last info I received from a city directory was 1898 (via the City Directories mailing list) and showed them living on Clinton Street. I've tried one site that lets you input addresses/cross streets to find the ED but I keep coming up a block or two off from the last known address (Greenfield Avenue). >> > Have been able to find most of these people in the Federal Census' up > until 1920.

You'd be able to tell when they left that address. *Someplace* there is information on how to find an enumeration district. But can't tell you where. Perhaps a librarian could help? (Especially a librarian who works with the genealogy collections.) Perhaps you'd need to check with Milwaukee as to what ward the address belongs (if it didn't show on the census). I really haven't dealt with censuses in urban areas as yet.
