Hi List, I'm new here, and hoping someone can help me with my family, LaBARGE. My great grandfather was John Baptiste LaBerge, born Oct. 27 1857 in Montmangy Quebec. He went to sea at the age of 12 and was at sea for 6 years. He married Christine Allie the 18th of June 1882 in Oconta, WI. John Baptiste was apparently a woodsman, and he and Christine had 10 to 12 children, total number unknown. However, their known children are listed below. Maude-Julie, born March 31, 1885, died Dec. 25, 1952. George Albert, born July 27, 1886, died May 5, 1920. Flora Mary, born June 1, 1888, died Sept. 26, 1959. Lola, born Aug.8, 1890, died in Sept (no year available). William Richard, born June 1, 1894. He lived in Jacksonville, Oregon and died there. Rudolph Henry, born Aug. 10, 1900. Adelaide Amelia, called Lil, born April 8, 1903. She and her husband George Thompson owned the Oasis Hotel in Palm Beach, and other hotels in California and Florida. Ralph Henry, born Aug. 12, 1905, died in Medford, Oregon in 1962. Aloys Harry, born Dec. 3, 1887, died in 1963. (May be diff spelling on name) The family is listed in the 1910 census of Shawano Country, Whittenberg City, WI, and are also listed in the 1920 census of Whittenberg Village with children Rudolph, 19; Adelaide, 16; Rudolph Henry, 14; and Aldis R. (sp?), 12. However, I can only read the info on both sheets that I have typed here. Both sheets are too light to read anything else. I have the birth and marriage certificates of my grandfather, Ralph Henry, and he was evidently born in Morris, Shawano County, and married in Kimberly, Octagamie (sp) County. I am interested in tracing the LaBerge/LaBarge line back from John Baptiste and have been trying to get through this roadblock for a long time. I have been in contact with several people connected with the LaBarge/LaBerge web page with no luck. If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it and of course would pay for any expenses incurred. Thank you, Lyn LaBarge Sinnema.

Thanks list!!! I put out a request and you all jumped on it and got me some great leads. You are the greatest!! Bonnie genol1@aol.com

Hi, I'm new to this list. But I have already found my great grandfather with the help of Susan Friestedt and the Waupaca Area Genealogical Society. With the information she gave me, I was able to verify who my grandfather's siblings were as well as his father and mother (I do wish these people would have used their birth names). I now know my great grandfather moved to Waupaca from Houlton, ME in 1874. He was Elijah E. Hersey (called Ira), wife Albina (or Alvina or Margaret), sons James M. (called Milton J.), Charles E. and Alice Barbara (or Barbara Alice). Alice married William Wallace Radley in 1876. He was the son of William Radley, Sr. and Cordelia Cratt Robbins in Marrinet and was born in 1853 in Lind, Waupaca and died in Dayton in 1918. Alice was born in 1857 and died in 1939. I would love to know if there are any other Herseys in the area today. Alice and William are buried in Crystal Lake Cemetery. From what Susan said I imagine there are still Radleys in the area. I only met Alice and her daughter Hazel Barton once when I was four and our family went to WI from Chicago for a visit. She died the next year. I would like to publicly thank Susan for her help. As all of you know, It means everything when you can finally put the pieces into some kind of order. Marilyn Brown mhersey@aol.com

Hi lists! I am searching living descendants after this people: KARINE CHRISTOPERSEN. b. may 31. 1846 (my ggf sister) Myhrer farm in Sørum, Akershus, Norway she died before 1900, married LARS LARSEN/LARSON b. april 15, 1840 in Udenes farm, Nes, Akershus, Norway died after 1900. They left Norway in 1869, and lived 3 years in Oconto, then settled in Town of Lessor, Shawano Co. WI. They had 9 or 10 children, all born in WI. 1. Laurets/Laurits b. 1870 2. Emma, b. july 7. 1871 (she died october 15, 1972, in Milwaukee, 101 years old! She married a Johnson, got a daughter Dorothy) 3. Hilda b. 1874, 4. Christina b. may 1876, 5.

(not in 1910 census though). I have the ancestors to this family, so it is the descendants I am searching. As I am in USA 3 times a year, it would be very fun to meet living relatives "over there". Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance! Laila Normann

I'm still looking for information on Joseph, John, Joshua, and Phineas Thurston, early settlers in Waushara County (ca. 1848-1857). Any connection with any of you out there? Thanks! Kate

This is a reply to Devorah and a test of the list. This list has been very quiet for the last while. If you receive a copy of this email and the sender is from @rootsweb.com then you are receiving posts from the list.

If the list is really in need for messages, I guess I'll send one to let everyone know what surnames I'm searching for in the area. Through a volunteer look up, I found information on my line of Boettchers. Carl Frederich Boettcher (b. 1858 in Ger.) was the father of my g-grandfather, George Albert Frank Boettcher (b 1897). George's mother was Agusta Brick (the last name of his mother, appeared different in about every record, I was told). George married Leona Retzlaff (b 1899) whose parents, William Retzlaff and Wilhelmina Koeppen (b 1862), were living in Belle Plain, Shawano County, at the time of the marriage in 1917. Carl Frederich Boettcher's parents were August Boettcher and Henriette Lack. The Boettcher's had a farm in Hartland, Shawano, WI. The wonderful volunteer sent an obituary for Carl Frederich that listed 1 sister, 5 half-sisters and 2 half-brothers. I was wondering if anyone knew more about this Boettcher family or the Koeppen's or the Retzlaff's. Thanks. Have a Groovy Day! ~ Bianca I'll never be satisfied until I'm too smart for my own good. _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/

Hi, In the "History of Winnebago Co., Wisc. and Early History of the Northwest" written by Richard J. Harney, Mr. Harney copied extracts from a publication issued by the Omro Journal. The article tells of N. Frank arrivintg in Omro, Winnebago Co., in 1850. It states that in 1850, N. FRANK came up the river on the steamer "Badger". It goes on to say Mr. Frank put up a building at the south end of the bridge, the same building which Thompson & Hayward later used for a paint shop and office, and Frank built a dock. N. Frank was taken a prominent part in the History of Omro. He was also justice of the peace for 22 years. He was still alive in 1879. Does anyone know what the N. stands for? Does anyone know the names of his wife and children? Does anyone know where he came from or what areas the steamer "Badger" serviced? Thanks i advance for any help you maygive me. Clare

Hi everyone! I have been working on the ALHN WI site and wanted to let you know that I have added a few pictures from Medford, WI. during the early years. When you go to the pictures index page, you will see a list of pictures that I already have and will be adding those shortly. If anyone has a picture of a town or area in the old days, from WI, and would like to add it, please let me know. I would love to include it!!!! Also don't forget that Brenda (the list owner here) has a site for this list that has some photos on it also! She has been working hard! To go to the ALHN WI site, please click on the URL below or copy and paste it to your browser window. More census information has been floating in and I will be trying to get some of that online before the New Year arrives. (cross your fingers for me!)

I am really stuck on only 1 person. EUGENE DOTY of Clintonville, Wisc. He married EMMA MANN and in 1875 had a son CHARLES EUGENE DOTY who was b. in CLINTONVILLE, WISC. This is what I have and what I think. I know this is long but please stay with me and read my information. JAMES DOTY, b. 1792, Half Moon, Albary Co., NY (son of John Doty and Catharine Phillips) married DEBORAH HAYNES or HAINES, Western, Oneida Co., NY. James' siblings were: Polly, Cornelius, Baptist, Philip, Phebe, Andrew and Samuel. Some of them moved to Michigan; some to Clintonville, Wisconsin; and some stayed in NY. JAMES DOTY and DEBORAH (HAYNES) children were: 1) NANCY (d. Wisc.) 2) ASA (m. in Adrian, Mich.; m. twice; DON'T KNOW NAMES OF HIS CHILDREN) 3) JAMES (d. Shawano Co., Wisc. m. Huldah Marsh) 4) JOHN (b. Western, Oneida Co., NY) John supposedly married twice - 2 sisters and had a son ASA EUGENE DOTY who lived in Waupaca Co., Wisc. 5) PETER (d. Rusk Co., Wisc., m. RHODA CLARK WEBSTER, lived in Dale, Waupaca Co.; Dupont, Waupaca Co.; Belke Plaine, Shuwano Co.,; Tigerton; and then Hawkins, Rush Co., Wisc.) The children I have for Peter are: JAMES, ANDREW, MARY ANN, PETER, and RHODA. 6) DOLLY ANN (d. at 12 yrs) 7) ANDREW (d. at 17) 8. EMELINE ( d. NY) In 1850 there was a John Douty living in Omro, Winnebago Co., Wisc. but he couldn't have been Eugene's father since the 1860 census lists Eugene as being born in 1856 in Michigan. The 1860 Census for Matteson, Shawano Co., Wisc lists: John Doty b. 1827, NY Jane b. 1839 NY Eugene b. 1856, Michigan John b. Aug. 1859, Wisc. The name WEBSTER is used for a middle name in a following generation of Eugene Doty, but Peter Doty and Rhoda (Webster) have no Eugene Doty listed as a child. DO I HAVE ALL THEIR CHILDREN? CHARLES EUGENE DOTY, b. 1875, (son of EUGENE DOTY) had a dau. GOLDIE EUGENE DOTY who had a son ROBERT WEBSTER BELL. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE 1860 CENSUS LISTING FOR JOHN DOTY? DID THIS FAMILY STOP IN MICHIGAN ON THEIR WAY TO WISCONSIN? CAN WE MOVE THIS JOHN DOTY FAMILY? CAN WE BURY THEM? DID THEY HAVE MORE CHILDREN? Please - I live in Florida and everywhere I write, I get "NO INFORMATION". Thanks in advance for any help.
