Surnames: Shipman, Wright, Wilson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.dane/1813.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My name is Linda Ferrell. My mother married Frank Shipman, son of Clayton and Effie Jane Shipman of Nebraska. I see from your family tree that Clayton's mother was Mary Josephine Wilson. By the way, the Spipmans had 2 sons: Frank was killed in Italy during the war in 1944, and his brother, Delbert, was hit and killed by a drunk driver in 1946. Therefore Clayton and Effie left no direct descendents. However, when my mom married another we still considered the Shipmans our "grandparents" and went to see them many, many times. I would appreciate any information you might have on Mary J Wilson's family or the Shipman family! Linda

Johannes was the son of Christian Christopherson. Another son, Hans Kristian, is where my mother's line comes in as she was born in Østre Toten. My father was from Svelvik in Vestvold. I have researched descendants of Johannes and Antonette in Rock and Dane counties and also have access to Norwegian church records on microfilm. If you need dates confirmed please let me know. The book on Johannes Andersen sounds fascinating and I am interested in what information it contains. I have a bygdebok on Østre Toten.

Kathy, Unfortunately, Mari is having some serious computer difficulties, so you're getting the ListSitter here. My name is Roxanne, and I'll try to explain what Ancestry told us ListHostesses at the time of the upgrades to the message boards. There are a couple of layers to this question - hopefully it will help you understand the reason for all of these hoops. I'm not denying it's not as convenient as before. 1) First of all, realize that the person who posted this message board question may not be subscribed to this mailing list. If you just put the answer to a message board question out to the mailing list, the person who was making the inquiry may not receive the answer. It would be nice to have the poster's e-mail address in the message to the mailing list, however 2) there really isn't any way for Rootsweb to stop spammers from subscribing to our mailing lists and compiling e-mail addresses from messages - assuming they're interested in receiving lots of e-mail to get those addresses. Not typically how spammers operate, but there's nothing stopping them. And 3) the mailing lists are archived. If we include e-mail addresses in the list messages, spammers can go to the archives and harvest e-mail addresses from that source. Finally, we listowners really don't have any more of "the ear" of Rootsweb and Ancestry than you (the users) do. I recommend going to Rootsweb's Message Boards Suggestion page: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.rw.admin.boardsuggest/mb.ashx or contact the Rootsweb's HelpDesk: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/form1.html And let them know about your ideas.

I know that the system requiring logging in to a message board was implemented to prevent spam and other unwanted messaging. However, subscribers to Rootsweb mailing lists have already been vetted, so to speak, so there should be no concern that their posts will be spam. It's also an incredible waste of time to have to post from a web page vs. posting from one's email program, when that program is already open and onscreen. Because of the difficulty of this system as implemented, folks who post to message boards will be losing much of the help that was available in the past to answer their queries.

It means "his wife." Gatte is husband, Gattin is wife. If you saw "ihrer Gatte" it would mean "her husband." I believe these are probably old terms, as the current verbiage for husband and wife is Mann und Frau.
