Dear Listers, We are now in a new year and what better time to get re-acquainted with you all and let you know what's been happening over the past year with Barron County. First of all, we have grown! As of this morning we have 77 subscribers to Barron Co. mail list, an increase of 2 over the last year, but in actuality there has been alot more subscribers, with a high of 89 total. This tends to change over the holidays with the busyness of the season. If you are a new subscriber, we'd love to hear from you and find out who you are researching in this county. Someone may be able to help you with your brick walls. Also associated with this mail list is the Barron Co WIGenWeb Project website, located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wibarron/ If you haven't visited this website lately, I encourage you to do so. There have been many new additions over the past year and there will be many more to come. Feel free to browse through the pages or use the site's Search Engine to find what's been added to the site for your surname and/or your area of interest. (Hint: for best results with the search engine, type your search term in all small [lower case] letters!) If you are interested in finding out in general what's been added to the website over the past year, visit our What's New page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wibarron/whatsnew.htm. This is a good place to check if you are a frequent visitor to this website. Looking for more information on your ancestors than what's on the main Barron Co. pages? Try the Barron Co. Archives (located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/barron.htm)! This area of the website is set aside for biographies, census, land records, obituaries and other items that have been submitted by people like you. Be sure to check the Biographical Indexes if you don't find the biography that you are looking for. If you find one that hasn't been posted yet, request the information from the person who is offering the lookups. These volunteers are listed below on the same page (biographical indexes). Also be sure to check out the Barron Co. Message Board at <http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.barron>. If you have a yearning to help others, there are lots of great queries on this board, along with more biographies, obituaries and other great topics of interest to you. The message board is gatewayed to this mail list, so many of the items that have been posted are seen right here on this mail list. A REMINDER! If a message comes through to this mail list that you would like to respond to, BE SURE TO RESPOND ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. Many people who post on the message board are not subscribed to this list.

Thompson Hi Donald, Thanks for writing and sharing with us what your brick wall is. I haven't been able to find anything that would help you as far as finding a death date for Julia. I realize that these early deaths are very hard to track. The land description tells us that they lived in the township of Prairie Farm (section 2). Do you have any idea which cemetery Jesse was buried in? Did they have children that this land would have been passed down to? Did the Harmon family stay in Barron Co. or did they move on after Jesse died? If you have any answers to these questions, it may help us to track the information down. Anyone else have any ideas to help Donald? -- Take Care, Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Nance, I was just wondering how you were doing at updating some of the cemeteries in Barron County. I would be interested in Wayside Cemetary in Barron and also St. Joes in Rice Lake. I may also have relatives in Turtle Lake and Almena, and maybe Arland. Not sure if they have a cemetary but most small places do. Thanks yvonne

Happy New Year, 'list mom' - and to everyone else on the list too! Each posting I see on this list is a welcome surprise - I ALWAYS expect that I'll find someone asking about the families I'm researching... And even if I don't, it's great to know that others out there are searching too! I didn't get back to Barron Co. this year... Hope to do so in the coming year, and spend some time wandering around cemeteries, poring through books in the county courthouse, etc. All that fun stuff! And in case you have any of these families in your tree, the names I'm searching for are JACOBSON, JOHNSON, KITTELSON, and DAHL. (and a bunch of others - see the genealogy section at http://sphnt6.sph.uth.tmc.edu/kate for everyone I have so far...)
