I do have a zerox copy of the couple picture. Anyone have more information on them? j Darius was my grandmother's mother's uncle.

It might be a good ( $15.00) price, but I see several ihings that make me back off First is that it's "offered" on E-Bay .. which makes me very uneasy. Second being the possibility that it's not what I'm looking for. Third .. and most important ... what condition is it in? .. I saw nothing on the books condition there ... were there any damaged, missing or written on pages? I'm not sure what the one star(?) dealer rating means either??

If any of your New Ulm, Brown County ancestors came from Illinois circa 1857, I would appreciate learning from where in Illinois they came from. I have been at a dead end on my KATZENBERGER family for years. I need to learn where my Mary Katzenberger was born in Illinois in 1851 and if her father George Katzenberger married Mary N. N. in Illinois? I thought perhaps George Katzenberger emigrated with some neighbors from Illinois to the New Ulm area of Minnesota. Here's hoping you know your genealogy better than I know mine. Joan Nisley Vienna, VA

Hi Dick, I also received a similar message addressed to me personally. I checked out their site and they don't even have a search engine yet. It looks like a ploy for money. Peggy

I haven't seen, but I would be weary. I know Ancestry.com sometimes allows a weeks free access for people to try what they have. I do not see why they need a credit card or check up front to get four free days trial. It sounds good. But who has invested to get all the information transcribed? I wonder if it is another of the companies that just point you to what is out there on the internet already. They didn't provide any info on their company.

- U.S. 1930 Census Records To Be Released The United States government conducts a census every ten years, in the years ending with a zero (1910, 1920, etc.). These census records contain a wealth of information for genealogists. The exact information obtained varies from one census to the next but generally contains each person's name, residence, age, place of birth, immediate family members residing in the same household, and more. The government keeps these records confidential for seventy-two years to protect the privacy of those listed. The 1930 U.S. Census records are due to be released this year. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration has announced that it will release the 1930 Federal population census for the first time on April 1, 2002. At that time, the microfilmed copies will be opened for research at the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, at 13 of the National Archives regional facilities across the nation, and through the National Archives rental program. The 1930 census is the 15th Federal census mandated by the U.S. Constitution, which states, "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. . . ". As one would expect, the number of records in the 1930 census is much larger than any previous census. All of the returns for the first U.S. census conducted in 1790 fit onto 12 rolls of microfilm. The country continued to grow so that the 1920 census consists of 2,076 rolls of film. The 1930 census consists of 2,667 rolls of population schedules and 1,587 rolls of Soundex indexes for 12 southern states, totaling 4,254 rolls. The other states, however, do not have Soundex indexes. The 1930 census provides a wealth of socio-economic information, such as the following: names of all persons living in each home; relationship of each person to the head of household; whether the home is owned or rented; value of the home; if the family owns a radio; if they own a farm; whether they attended school or college; if they can read or write; place of birth; citizenship status; and occupation. These census records should be available within a few days after April 1, 2002 via the National Archives' Rental Program. In addition, commercial companies will also have rolls of microfilm available for sale or for rent. I suspect that CD-ROM and possible online availability will occur some later time after April 1, 2002. For more information on the 1930 census, see http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html/ Thanks Dick Schweiss (List Admin. for) Brown County, MN Mail List ...

Subject: GRETCHEN FRANZEN ??? Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2002 12:12:38 -0800 From: "dick" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] HELP !! I'm sending this to several "lists", hoping that someone will be able to clear up the (given) name mystery. My Great Grandfather .. August Theodore MEIER was married to (1st wife) a Margaretha FRENZEN ... they lived in Holland, Iowa between 1890/1893, when she passed away. I just received a document from the Minnesota Historical Society that is a copy of the "Pine County Pioneer" from July 14, 1938 ... it says that Augusts 1st wife ... who I have as Margaretha ... was a GRETCHEN FRANZEN ... All the details on the paper are in agreement with what I have ... dates. children, etc. etc. .. except the give names. This has me absolutely puzzled .... is it possible that "Gretchen" was a middle name .. or a nick-name? I have nothing that would indicate either possibility! Any help on this will be greatly welcome. Thanks Dick Schweiss Hi Dick, Have you had any replies to your query? If not, it is my humble opinion that Gretchen is a nickname for Margaret. I believe that somewhere I saw that the German "Hansel and Gretel" translates to the English "Johnny and Peggy." I did try one translation program but Gretchen did not come up.
