Hi all! I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving. How about posting your queries on your German ancestors now? It's always a good idea to post at least once a month since there are always new people joining the list. Remember that your first line will encourage or discourage a response. Try to say something about your search. Common surnames without detail draw NO responses. The goal is to get a reply, preferably an informative one. Your query needs to stand "up" and be recognized. Always include a name with a place and a date at, or very near the beginning of the query. 1. Full names should be in the query with the surname CAPITALIZED. 2. Make sure you mention where in Wisconsin that your ancestor lived or at least the county if town is unknown. 3. Dates should be included or at least a time frame that the family was in Wisconsin 4. Include any collateral names, again, post the surnames in CAPITAL letters. Oh and by all means, if you want to share a story or recipe from your German ancestry, please do!

I am researching the family of Jacob HUBERT b. 1832, reportedly in Gessellen-Brief, Strezelo, Germany (Prussia), emigrated in 1868 aboard the Edith through New York to Sparta, Monroe County, WI with his wife, Caroline and son, Fred. Caroline died between 1870 and 1874 when Jacob married Wilhelmina JANKE, b. 1845 in Germany. The HUBERTs settled in Jackson County, WI in 1874, and Jacob received a land grant in 1885. Am looking for information on Gessellen-Brief, Strezelo, Germany and on Jacob's wife Caroline or contact with any other researchers of this family. In addition, am researching Helen CHRISINGER, b. 1846 in Germany, emigrated in 1850. Married Samuel B. RANDALS in 1867. Settled in Fond du Lac County, Baraboo in Sauk County, Fairchild in EauClaire County and finally, in Jackson County, WI. Am looking to share information with researchers on this line as well. Thank you for any help you may be able to give. Kathy Evanson

I hope this isn't "off topic", but I noticed in Richard's post a number of references to Lutheran associations with his family and recalled a website that may be helpful for those of us with Lutheran family ties. It is http://www.thrivent.com/lutheransonline/genealogy/ . There are places on this site to post queries and your family tree as well. I hope it helps out many of you.
