Death records are few and far between in that time period. They're indexed here: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords/ You might try to find church records of a funeral or burial, wherever the church service was held-- either in Dane or Jefferson County. Probate records were filed where the court action took place, usually where a person lived and owned property. Dane County probate records for that time period are held at the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison. Jefferson County probate records are held at the Whitewater Area Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. The holdings of both repositories are cataloged here: http://arcat.library.wisc.edu/ > Birth record for a child born in Madison in January of 1965. http://www.co.dane.wi.us/regdeeds/vital/records.aspx http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/vitalrecords/birth.htm > Would any of this information be found in newspapers for the > appropriate period? Death notices were extremely uncommon in 1848, but official notices of probate hearings can be found in that time period. Birth notices are common in 1965. Good luck! Kathy

Can someone tell me where I might locate published or indexed information on the following records: I'm seeking death and/or probate records for a person who died in Madison in December of 1848, but who was buried in Palmyra, Jefferson County. Birth record for a child born in Madison in January of 1965. Would any of this information be found in newspapers for the appropriate period? Thanks, Alleen-Marie Coke

I found in the birth index this date written in, and then blacked out, and the birth record is not found in the general files. Makes me suspect the girl was adopted, and believe she could be the daughter of my grandma's sister. Most of the family of that generation is deceased, but as the family genealogist, I would like to solve this mystery. Let me know if you recognize this info.THANKS!!

They were married at Calvary Lutheran Chapel on the UW Madison campus. It is my understanding that the chapel building presently in use is not the same building that was there in 1968 when they married. Is this true? I am in search of photos of that building and, in a perfect world, photos of the interior, particularly the sanctuary/altar. I have tried contacting the church office but that , unfortunately, has not been successful. Can anyone please refer me to an alternate source? I have until mid-September to get this project done, but you all know how hard it can be to chase down some of the more elusive elements of our genealogy, even if they are only 40 yrs old! Your help is greatly appreciated! Lynn in NYC Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I was not able to locate anything in the Madison newspapers for mention of her death, nor an obit. Did she live and die in Madison? What is your source for her date of death? What was her husband's name and is dates of birth and death? If you know she died in Dane Co. you could order a death certificate.

Staines, farmer and artist, Sec 16; P.O. Madison; H.B. Staines, is a native of Peterboro, Huntingtonshire, England; he was born on the 21st day of July, 1800, and came to Wisconsin in 1840; located first with his family, in Sauk Co., and, shortly after, came to Madison and located; he holds the office of Justice of the Peace. Mr Staines was in the navy in the old country, and in this country after the war commenced; he had charge of the Pocahontas gunboat, and did the business up to the handle; in 1861, he was sent by Commodore Porter to take and dismantle the confederate pontoon then lying at Island No. 10; he had 400 men, of the 11th W.V.I., under Gen. Larabee, and the job was done up in good style. Mr Staines' father's name was Henry Staines; his mother's name was Ann Bevan. Mr Staines married J! ennette McIndue, in the city of Glasgow, in 1827; she was born in Glasgow; they have had ten children, seven are living - oldest son in Australia, three sons in Kentucky, one daughter married and living in Chicago, one daughter married and living in Kentucky and one married and living in Madison; he has 38 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren living. Mr & Mrs Staines are both members of the Presbyterian Church of Madison; he is a determined Republican; he has a beautiful farm of 176 acres, worth $10,000. In justice to Mr Staines, we must mention his hospitable and genial nature; it is indeed remarkable to see a man 80 years of age retain his faculties intact. The scene from his house is picturesque in the extreme --- views from every quarter which cannot help but please the eye; but when you go inside his art studio and view the reproductions, on canvas, from nature and also from the best artists, of his own handiwork, you cannot help but exclaim, It is wonderful;! he is 80 years old, and is just finishing a $500 painting of "Mt. Sha sta," 52 x 44; you leave Staines' mansion always with regret, exclaiming, in the meantime, that you have met a gentleman.
