My great grandmothers name is Pearl Alvina Matthews Challoner.She was married twice. Her first husand died right after they where married, last name was Degeorge,I think. Plus I am not all that sure how to spell it. Pearls uncle and Alonzos brother is Orlando Matthews. Kind of a big shot around Big Flats at the time. If I am correct they had 13 kids maybe 14, if my memory serves me right. My father would know more and maybe my uncle sence they all lived in the same house with Pearl. My father has photos of her and Matthews family. Julia came from a large family also.She was a few years younger then Alonzo. I think Alonzo worked for her father and thats how they met. If I can be any help feel free to email me at [email protected] Big Flats town hall would have records also.

I've noticed that this has been posted to some email lists already (so please excuse any duplication), but thought I would send out some more information. The Wisconsin Historical Society has just made available an index to Wisconsin pre-1907 births at www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords. It was made by digitizing the 1970's microfiche index (with which some of you're probably familiar) and then expanding it with tens of thousands of delayed births. The Schoenleber Foundation of Milwaukee generously covered most of the conversion costs, and the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society graciously let us include their delayed birth records index. The result is free public access to more than 1,000,000 Wisconsin births. As you'll see, you can search in a variety of ways. When you find someone for whom you want a birth certificate, you can order hard copy from us online or use the results to locate the film yourself. We plan to add pre-1907 death and marriage indexes in the next few months, creating a comprehensive vital records index that will be entirely free and publicly searchable. Until the death and marriage indexes are available, you can request searches through our Wisconsin Genealogical Research Service at www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/ogrs. Let us know how you like the index and happy searching! Melissa McLimans Administrator, Wisconsin Genealogical Research Service Wisconsin Historical Society

The Wisconsin Historical Society is very proud to announce the Dictionary of Wisconsin History (http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/dictionary/). The online dictionary gives more than 2,000 brief lives of famous Wisconsin people (and many not-so-famous ones). It provides the exact location of every community and civil township in the state, and explains how every county and 800 cities and towns got their names. You can even display a map or satellite image of any city, town, or village with a single click. The dictionary includes mid-19th century descriptions of about 500 Wisconsin cities and towns from contemporary gazetteers and travel guides, too. You can imagine how this could help your genealogical research or just give you some interesting facts about Wisconsin history. We also encourage you to submit entries to help us grow the dictionary. The Society has also been busy adding 3,500 entries to the Wisconsin Name Index (www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni). For those of you unfamiliar with the name index, it was started about 1870, when WHS staff made a catalog card for every biographical sketch in each new Wisconsin county history. They made a similar card for every obituary added to the scrapbooks they called the "Wisconsin Necrology," and frequently added cards for magazine and newspaper articles about Wisconsin residents. After more than a century of such work, the data on the original cards was typed into a database that you can search online today. This time we have indexed Wisconsin World War Obituaries, a three volume scrapbook, containing newspaper articles and obituaries about the men and women of Wisconsin that served in the military during World War II. The index is available for you to find listings of your ancestors at your local library, through library loan or you can order copies from our Wisconsin Genealogical Research Service (www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/ogrs). Please forgive the length of this post. I hope you have found it useful. Best, Melissa
