It gives you a list of cemeteries in Brown county. Then if you click on the cemetery, it gives you the co-ordinates. However, if you then click on the "view the digital raster graphic" it shows where it is somewhat. This is a long way around. The other option is to go to Find a grave "http://www.findagrave.com/index.html", hit search for a cemetery. Her you need to know the cemetery name. That is where the Terra server above helps. I get all the names of the cemeteries in the county, print it out, then go to the Find a Grave website. In most instances they have an option to get a map to the cemetery, but not always.

Pam, The GAR refers to Grand Army of the Republic. I suggest going to this site: browncountyhistorymnusa.org and contact them about the organization. From what I can see it was probably a ladies organization attached to the GAR, which was an organization of men who were Union veterans of the Civil War. Bob

Does anybody know what the Hecker Circle, GAR; what looks to be a womens group in New Ulm was? Would appreciate some information. Thanks, Pam

Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. - New Message Board for Newsletter Readers From: Vol. 7 No. 39 - September 30, 2002 **** First article "I have created a new message board for the readers of this newsletter. It provides a place for you to post online messages relating to the articles published this newsletter plus whatever topics you wish to discuss. The new message board has four sections: 1. Articles From The Newsletter - This is a place where you may post questions, offer comments, or dispute the information presented in the newsletter articles. Each article will have a separate "message thread." You may read messages there and post your own comments about these articles for everyone to read. I'd love to see this section grow to become an active forum for all newsletter readers. 2. Subscription Issues - Questions about receiving the newsletter, where to read it online, availability of online archives, etc. 3. This Message Board - Discussions, questions, and suggestions about how to use the message board. 4. Miscellaneous - Well, you always have to have a "miscellaneous" or "all others" section, so I created one. Use it for messages that don't seem to fit into the above three categories. I may add new message sections in the future if usage warrants. I would like to encourage all readers of this newsletter to join in the message board. If you have any questions or comments about the articles posted in this newsletter, I would suggest that you post them on this new message board. Yes, feel free to disagree with me if you so choose. It is an open message board; everyone is welcome. I will be answering many of the messages there, and I suspect that others will add their insights, too. The discussions should benefit everyone. The message board is open to everyone. You may read all the messages without registering. However, to post replies or new messages you will need to complete a short sign-up form. You will be asked for your name and e-mail address. In order to protect your privacy, e-mail addresses are never displayed in the messages you write and are not visible to anyone else on the message board. When posting messages on this board, you can specify to have copies of any possible replies sent to you in e-mail. That way you do not have to keep checking online for possible replies, just read your e-mail. Warning: This is a brand-new message board, so there's not much available yet.

First of all, there's Julian calendar versus Gregorian calendar. Did you know that many people "lost" 11 days in 1752? Next, those researching Scandinavia ancestry often find dates recorded as falling on certain Feast Days with no reference to which day of the month that was. Anyone researching Jewish ancestry soon encounters issues with the Hebrew Calendar. Those with French ancestry may encounter the French Revolutionary Calendar. And then there are Chinese (Lunar), Buddhist, Indian, Persian and even Aztec calendars. (Is anyone researching Aztec ancestry?) The Ultimate Calendar Web Page can help you decipher dates. It can give you history about all of the above calendars and several more, including Baha'i and Moslem. It shows the phases of the moon and also provides a Gregorian to Julian date conversion utility. Heck, this site can even tell you what time it is.

Surnames: Keil, Reinhart, Kaehler, Thram, Madison Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HGB.2ACE/96.1 Message Board Post: From the Sleepy Eye [Minnesota] Herald Dispatch, 14 Jan 1932. A. M. Keil Died Suddenly Sunday; Dropped Dead While Preparing For His Evening Meal. While preparing for the evening meal at his home in Burnstown east of Boise Lake, Albert M. Keil dropped dead Sunday. Mr. Keil had complained of not feeling well for several days, but was apparently feeling better Sunday. He ate a hearty meal at noon and went to his blacksmith shop, where he spent several hours. Shortly before supper, he returned to the house to lie down to rest. It was while washing his hands, what is thought to have been a heart attack, occurred causing instant death. Albert M. Keil was born in Polk county, Iowa, May 17, 1867. His mother died when he was but six years old and his father passed away when he was eleven. He was taken to an orphanage in southern Missouri, where he was cared for and was taught the blacksmith trade. He arrived at Cobden, alone, when he was eighteen years old and opened his first blacksmith shop in that place. Later he operated a shop in Windom. On September 19, 1889, he was married to Ida M. Kaehler. They moved to Springfield, where Mr. Keil again entered the blacksmith business. They lived there thirteen years, moving from there to their farm, on which they have resided for thirty years. Mr. Keil dug wells for many years, besides running his farm. He was the father of nine children, all of whom survive. They are Martin, Herman and Leo at home, Allie of Burnstown, Mrs. Wm. Thram of Sanborn, Amelia of Santa Ana, California, Mrs. Henry Madison, of Burnstown, Grace of Minneapolis and Henry, of Waubun, this state. He is also survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs. Amelia Reinhart, of Black Duck. Funeral services will be conducted today (Thursday) at one o’clock at the home in Burnstown and at two o’clock at the high school gymnasium at Springfield. Rev. W. H. Holtan of St. John’s Lutheran church will officiate. In the death of Mr. Keil, this community has lost one of its pioneers. He was successful as a blacksmith and later conducted a large farm, but he had a mechanical turn of mind and preferred well drilling to farming. He drilled more wells in this vicinity than any other person. He was a congenial man and made friends readily.—Springfield Advance Press.
