Due to the overwhelming number of requests I have received in the past few days, I am asking that everyone please use the format shown below to submit any new requests to me. It is just too time consuming for me to have to read through two pages of information to find out what someone is looking for. This does not pertain to the requests that I have already received through today. They have all been received and I am currently working on them. There is not a limit to how many people you can request on your list within reason. I just ask to keep it short and sweet. :-) Also, a note that I do not have access to any of the more recent newspapers after the period of the 1970's. For those who are looking for something more recent, I suggest checking the current newspaper websites, Ancestry.com, or the particular List for the counties you are searching. There is also a new website which is www.funeralnet.com which has links to some funeral homes with recent obits from 1999 to the present. Format for Requesting Lookups: 1) Type of article requested: Obituary, Marriage Notice, Wedding Announcement, Special Interest 2) Name of person you are looking for - include any middle initials and husband's first name if it is a woman. Note: There are many times when I find an obituary under "Mrs. John Smith" rather than "Mrs. Mary Smith" 3) Date of death, date of marriage (approximate dates are fine or time periods if unknown) 4) If looking for obituaries, it is nice to have children or close relatives names that could be listed to make sure I have a match - just a few is fine. It's hard when it is a common last name like Smith or Jones - like looking for a needle in a haystack. 5) Any special note of interest: (i.e., drowned, suicide, in prison, etc.) This kind of information is always helpful also. 6) Please do not give me a 2 - 3 page explanation of who you are looking for. Although you may think it helps me, it does not. It just takes more time for me to figure out who you are looking for and takes time away that I could be searching for you and for others. Thank you all for your requests and you will be hearing from me soon. Michelle

I continue to search for any new information on Lyndon Lanphear and wife Charolette Garthwait Lanphear. Charolette was the daughter of Daniel Garthwait and Esther Jeffers. They moved to Adams Co from NY (Cayuga County) via Dane county in 1850-55. I am descended from Henry D. Lanphear one of the sons. Lyndon was born 1816 in VT and died 1875 in Adams County. I'd love to correspond with anyone who is also descended from the family. Thank you, Terry Reisinger Terry Reisinger

Dear Listers and Administrators, Let me introduce myself. I am a genealogy buff just like all the rest and have 90% of my family located in WI. I do lookups for people in newspapers that I have available to me for the WI area. I do not do this for self gain, only to help others who have hit a brick wall. I have been there myself and know what it is like. I do not charge for any of the many hours I spend doing these lookups. I only ask for reimbursement of the copies and the postage which is very minimal. I do work a full time job during the week and am only able to do these lookups in my free time in the evenings and on the weekends. I do tend to get swamped with requests so I ask for your patience. This does take time away from my family and my own family tree. Last December I posted a list of WI newspapers that I have access to and am willing to do lookups for obits and other special articles. At that time I stated that I would update the list as more become available. Below you will see an update of that list without the time frames. Since as you can see, this is a very extensive list, I thought it would be easier for those interested to email me and I can provide you with a more extensive list showing the specific time frames I have available. For those who are interested in lookups, please note that the more information you can provide me with, the easier it makes it for both of us. Especially for the ones that may have info available through the obit indexes, this really speeds things along. Please see the list below.

The 1905 Wild Rose Robbery Reenactment will take place at 10:30 AM at the Jim & Mary Erdman property at the end of River Street in Wild Rose. The land is the last place on the left side of the street and almost across the street from Oakhill Cemetery. There will be signs up the day of the event. Highway 22 is Main Street in Wild Rose. If you are coming in from the South, River Street is a left turn and if you are coming from the North it is a right turn. River Street is all west of Main Street.The land has a rustic appearance and the area where the reenactment will occur is a field so you might not to wear sandals or open toed shoes. You may want to bring a folding chair or lawn chair. Refreshments will be available for sale with the proceeds going to the Wild Rose Library/Community Fund. One of the robbers who is killed in the capture is buried outside of Oakhill Cemetery and there will be balloons showing the way to his grave. Pam Anderson
