Marilyn, if you have the time, I certainly would appreciate a lookup on William H. Meyers (Children were Martha, and George). I am almost certain he was living in Vernon Township in 1885, and probably near Peosta. William's mother, Constance, could be living with him. Would appreciate any and all information that is shows. Thanks a million. Ruth Jenkins > > I have the 1885 State Census for Dubuque co. IA on loan at the LDS for > the next few weeks. I would be willing to do lookups IF you know where > to look.

Marilyn: I would appreciate very much if you could check Mosales Twsp for Sylvester Bills Preston. The information I have says he died in Mosales Twsp, Massey, Dubuque, Iowa if that will make it easier for you to check. It is very nice of you to offer to check for everyone.

I enjoyed this article and thought it worth repeating for those of you who may have missed it. If you're read it already in the last issues of Missing Links, then just delete and move on. If you haven't, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. -- Kathleen List Administrator _______________________ ~~~ Kathleen's Korner ~~~ Kathleen@KathleensKorner.net ==================================================================== THE WORM'S EYE VIEW: EASY DUZ IT by Beth Maltbie Uyehara <A HREF="mailto:BUYE@aol.com">BUYE@aol.com</A> Hi. My name is Beth M. U., and I'm a geneaholic. My story's not a pretty one. I am sharing it here in the hope that it may help others avoid my pitiful fate. If you, too, are addicted to genealogy, I want you to know that you are not alone. There are thousands of us worldwide struggling in the daily battle against this cunning, baffling and powerful addiction. There was something "different" about me from the get-go. Looking back, the signs were there for all to see. Even as a child, when relatives threw old Daguerreotypes in the trash, I would fish around among the coffee grounds and egg shells and pull them out. When old letters or diaries were discovered in musty trunks, I stayed up all night reading them. Obits, report cards, discharge papers, photos of unknown people: I hoarded them all. I didn't care what kind of document it was, or who it concerned -- if it was remotely connected to "family," I had to have it. I'm making no excuses. I had a good upbringing. Genealogy certainly doesn't run in my family -- I come from a long line of people who could take their ancestors or leave them alone. Yes, there were rumors of an aunt on my father's side who "did a little research on weekends," but she covered her tracks well, and I have never been able to prove for certain that she was a geneaholic. Aside from that one suspect, my relatives were all what we call "social genealogists." For them, a colorful forebear or two were good for party conversations, to be chuckled over at family gatherings, and that was it. Not me. Right from the beginning, I was out of control. I could never stop with just one or two ancestors. Every ancestor I found triggered an insatiable craving in me for two more, and four more after that, and eight more after that. I could not stop once I got started. Eventually, genealogy took over my life. Bouts of compulsive research would leave me babbling incoherently, slumped exhausted, sometimes barely conscious, at a microfilm reader in some darkened room, surrounded by other addicts satisfying their own shameful cravings for genealogical kicks. Many are the times I've been thrown out of a library at closing time, kicking and screaming, begging for just five minutes more, just "one more ancestor for the road." It was humiliating. As the years went by, things went from bad to worse. It was an endless downward spiral. I found myself sneaking from library to library in distant parts of town, even in other cities and states, searching for the ultimate high -- that mysterious immigrant ancestor, whose identity would make everything fall into place. I hit bottom one hot August day in a cemetery in a far-off state. How I got there doesn't matter. Let's just say that after much research, I had located the grave of an ancestor who -- according to family legend -- had died in some kind of accident. As I stared at the weathered, old tombstone, wondering how I could find out how he had died, the thought occurred to me: "I could dig him up and see." Immediately, I recoiled, aghast. "Eeeeeuuuuuuu," I cried, "yuk! That's gross." That's when I knew I needed help. Since that moment of clarity, I've joined numerous genealogy support groups where we offer each other strength and hope, along with research tips and potluck dinners. And I have finally admitted, to myself and to other human beings, that I am powerless over genealogy and my research has become unmanageable. It may be too late for me. But, science has found that young family historians -- those who are, as yet, only potential geneaholics -- can sometimes stop in time. Answer these questions to see if you are in the early stages of addiction. * Home: Has genealogical paperwork taken over any room in your house? * Friends: Is genealogy interfering with your social life? Do people edge away from you at parties when you burst into tears over the 1890 U. S. census? * Family: Do your relatives' eyes glaze over when you explain your latest research? Do you find dead people more fun than live ones? * Work: Is genealogy interfering with your job? How many hours of each workday do you spend on the Internet, or checking your RootsWeb e-mails? * Marriage: Has your spouse ever asked you, "Aren't you done yet? How far back are you planning to go?" * Health: Are you starting to show the physical and mental signs of geneaholic deterioration, such as red-rimmed eyes, a loss of interest in current events, a shortened attention span for non-ancestral topics, excessive viewing of the History Channel? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you are on the road to genealogical addiction. You must not research even one more ancestor! You must stop NOW, before it's too late! When you feel an overwhelming urge to research, repeat the following until the urge goes away: "My mother found me in a cabbage patch. My mother found me in a cabbage patch. My mother found me in a cabbage patch." Good luck and God help you.

Hello, List! I'm trying to find a woman who died on 5 or 6 May 1850 in Dubuque County. She died after giving birth, so she would probably have died at home, in District 7. Her last name was OEHLER, but that name has been spelled incorrectly more times than it's been spelled correctly-- on censuses and other records. (In fact, her husband, Ambrose OEHLER, was indexed on the 1850 census as Abrais OEHLEEN --pretty different!) I'd love to know the woman's first name. She was my great-great-grandmother. Many thanks for any help you might lend. Good rooting-- Ellen Blackstone (not researching Blackstone)

Does anyone have an exterior photo (even if it has people in the picture) of the exterior of the old St. George Church that used to stand in Farley. It was torn down probably in the late 1920's. I would really appreciate just a scanned image if possible. Thanks for any help you are able to offer!

FYI, you can also request through Interlibrary loan, through your local library, as I did. In most cases, since I had the date and page no., I was not charged.
Could someone on this list that has access to microfilm of the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, please see if they could find and copy some of the following obituaries.
