Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and others previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm John J. Dorcy, one of the enterprising and popular farmers of Oak Grove Township, was born in Canada April 9, 1872, the son of Thomas and Anna (White) Dorcy, who brought him to East Saginaw, Mich., in 1877 and to Oak Grove Township, this county, in 1883. He was even at that time able to be of assistance to his parents in clearing up and developing the farm. He completed his schooling in the schoolhouse of District 4. In 1896 he and his brother, Thomas P., purchased 140 acres in the home section, and this they operated jointly together with the 40 acres of the home farm. After successfully working together for several years they divided the land in 1904. John J. now has 100 acres, well improved, on which he has erected a sightly and adequate set of buildings. The house is modern, the barn has the Star barn fixtures, and the other structures are well in keeping. Mr. Dorcy carries on general farming and dairying and has a fine herd of Holsteins, headed by full blooded sires. He has borne an excellent reputation from boyhood up and stands well as a citizen and as a farmer. Mr. Dorcy was married July 1, 1902, to Fidelia Deruso, born Sept. 6, 1882, in Canada, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philman Deruso, natives of Canada, of French descent, who came to the United States in 1886 and purchased 120 acres in Rice Lake Township, this county, where they farmed the remainder of their lives, the father dying in October, 1896, and the mother, Sept. 3, 1902. In the family were eight children: Rose, Exzilla, Edward, Napoleon, Fidelia, Millie (deceased), Edmond (deceased), and John (deceased). Mr. and Mrs. Dorcey have four interesting children: Raymond, born May 22, 1904; Harvey, Sept. 28, 1905; Isabella, Dec. 15, 1906; and Edgar, Sept. 25, 1914. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H.

He is a native of this state, born in Manitowoc County Dec. 8, 1876, son of Joseph and Mary Dvorak, natives of Bohemia, who came to Wisconsin in the seventies and farmed in Manitowoc County the remainder of their lives. Joseph was reared in his native county and for a time helped his father at farm work. In 1892 he started to learn the wagon making trade at Manitowoc and worked there for several years. He came to Barron in 1899 and opened a wagon shop at Dobie, in Oak Grove Township. In 1901 he engaged in the refreshment business there. He went to Rice Lake in 1903 and there opened a wagon shop. Four years later, in 1907, he purchased 40 acres in Section 24, Oak Grove Township, cleared 30 acres, and erected a sightly house and suitable outbuildings. In 1919 he added 40 acres more in the same township. He is successfully carrying on general farming and dairying, and has a satisfactory herd of mixed cattle. Mr. Dvorak was married Oct. 29, 1901, to Elizabeth Frolik, who was born Dec. 23, 1879, in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, daughter of Frank and Barbara (Wagner) Frolik. Mr. and Mrs. Dvorak are the parents of three children: Victor, born Oct. 13, 1903, and died Feb. 17, 1920; Lydia, born June 14, 1906, and Clarence, born Oct. 11, 1911.

I'm assuming this is in response to the private email I sent you regarding my KittLEson family as the subject line is the same. My current day Gallagher family is most accurately spelled as such...but after 20+ years of researching, depending upon the document, who wrote it and the time frame, the name is spelled variously as Galigar, Gallaher, Gallager, etc - but they're the same ancestry and descendent family of my Gallagher's. Same for my Leonard family with Lenhardt, Lenhard, etc. When I receive queries, or locate documents, with alternate spellings I look very closely at them because it's entirely possible that they are part of my family. It's really not a stretch to find a Kittleson on a 1920 census record, for instance, whose ancestors and/or decendents are actually Kittelson's. Keep in mind too, that an "EL" written in long hand on any record could *look* like an "LE" especially on a census record considering the poor quality, poor spelling and illegible handwritting. In fact for the James Kittleson that I queried you about, *I* may have his named misspelled - particularly if my info came from a census record :-) Best wishes, Bonnie At 09:18 AM 1/5/2002, you wrote: >All the Kittelson's that I am related to are spelled KittELson.

Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and others previously submitted are available here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm Gilbert Gilbertson, a progressive farmer of section 33, west, Dallas Township, was born in Norway, Feb. 11, 1864, the son of Gilbert and Mary (Engebretson) Gunderson, both now deceased. He was educated in his native land, and as a young man worked in an iron foundry and for a time had charge of a large farm there. In 1902 he came to America, and for a while worked in Peterson's Nursery in Chicago. That fall he came to Barron County and bought 40 acres in section 9, Dallas Township. A short time later he sold that and bought half of his present place. Later he bought the other half, making him a good farm of 80 acres. He has put up a good set of buildings and has broken about 25 acres. Here he carries on general farming and dairying. He is a hard working, industrious man, who takes great pride in his farm and in his family, and he is held in the highest respect by all who know him. Mr. Gilbertson was married Oct. 16, 1892, to Olive Olson, who was born in Norway, Aug. 1, 1864, the daughter of Ole and Antoinette (Larson) Olson, both now deceased. This union has been blessed with four children: George O., Agnes (first), Agnes and Geneva. George O., a veteran of the World War, now deceased, was born Dec. 8, 1893, studied in the district schools and graduated from the engineering course of the Southern Minnesota College at Austin. May 4, 1917, he enlisted at Leeds, S. D., and was sent to Camp Greene, N. C. He served successively with Company H, Eighty-sixth Infantry, Forty-second Division; Headquarters Company, 147th Field Artillery, and Company H, Fifty-fifth Field Artillery. He saw active duty in France, and died of the influenza at Brest on Jan. 9, 1919. Agnes (first) was born March 17, 1897, and died May 9, 1899. Agnes was born June 19, 1899, and is the wife of Otto Opheim of Jackson County, Minn. Geneva was born Dec. 2, 1902, and is attending the Barron County Training School at Rice Lake. The family faith is that of the Norwegian Lutheran Church. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pp. 857-858.

Hi Kate (and list). I don't have an Elise Kittelson in my tree (yet anyway). I am having a hard time finding a lot of the Kittelson's. Especially ones back that far. I know that the Kittelson's that I am realated to have a reunion every year in Wisconsin but I have been unable to go every time they have had one. The Kittelson's that I am related to came from Norway. Most of the Kittelson's that were that old that I know of lived in or around Clayton, Wis., Polk County and most of the were burried in Moe Church Cemetery (also in Polk County). Polk County is right next to Barron. On the bottom of this e-mail I have included a shorter version of my family tree. If anything in there looks familiar let me know.

Surnames: Gilbertson/Gulbrandson/Gubranson Ostenson Olson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZEC.2ACE/494.534 Message Board Post: Did your Gilbert and Inger Gilbertson ever use the last names Gubrandson or Ostenson? My Great-great Grandparents Gilbert/Gulbrand/Gubrand Gilbertson/Gulbrandson/Gubranson/Ostenson and Ingri Oyer/Oyan (her surname.....probably her farm name in Norway) used all those names. I know my Gilbert and Ingri had two daughters, Ostine Lohre and Anne Olson. There was a third child, but I have no info on that one. Gilbert arrived from Norway in 1856 to Coon Valley, Bad Axe Co., WI. He was a blacksmith. I think Ingri emmigrated at the same time from Norway: possibly they were already married when they came. Both daughters were born in WI. In 1869 they moved to Cottonwood Co., MN., returning to Stanley, Barron Co., WI sometime after 1892 with Anne. Anne married Edward Solvester Olson, son of Nils and Johanna. Edward was a farmer. They married, 23 May 1892, in Stanley, at a Lutheran Church with Pastor A.G. Orke of Chetak presiding. Witnesses were Ole and Anne Wistad. Gulbrand died 19 June! 1903 and was buried in Faaberg Cemetary. No death info on Ingri. Gulbrand used the Gilbertson and other G surnames in early Wisconsin, and seems to have begun using Ostenson as his surname in Minnesota. Ostenson is on his death record. The name changes are enough to drive me nuts. Do any of these names mean anthything to you? Ostine was my Great grandmother and she remained in Minnesota, moving to Roseau Co. with her husband John Hanson Lohre. Thanks for any info.

Ooops! Information overload! <giggle> Sorry for the duplication of information. I hear that great minds think alike. I can agree that the other two people who answered this question have great minds. Mine? Well, that's questionable. :~) This does point out a flaw in the system, though, that I can see. For those of you who follow both the mail list and the message board, you know that the messages posted on the board also get copied (gatewayed) to the mail list (see a copy of the original query below as it came from the message board to the mail list.) The flaw is in how the replies are handled. As you can see, the message states that "this is a Message Board post that is gatewayed to the mail list." Whenever you see a message like this, please use the URL that is in the message to respond. I know it's a natural thing to just click on the reply button of our email program and respond that way, but, as stated in the general message that was sent out at the first of the month, not everyone who posts a message on the message board is also subscribed to this mail list.
