Hello, Does anyone know if there is a listing of the deceased persons from the Cemetery by the Clearview Nursing Home? Does anyone know the address of the sexton's office of this cemetery and the correct name of the cemetery? Looking for Rosa A. Sheldon who died before WW2. She appeared in Dodge county in the 1920 census. Haven't checked the 1930 yet but believe she died between 1938-1941. Trying to find her deathdate. Thanks, Jane

This is to whomeveer requested the lookup for Harris Crandall. Last night I look him up in both the marriage and death files and he was not listed at all. This doesn't mean he isn't in SOMEONES records tho. In fact, the marriage only went to 1900. So there was a five year period where the records didn't show up at all. Try the census and see if you can find him there. Happy Hunting, Judie

Hello, the following website may be of interest to you: www.uwosh.edu/archives/home.htm The service is free but it takes a while to get results back. or www.familysearch.org could have a microfilm you could order to view at your nearest mormon family history center. Cost about $3.50 per microfilm. Everyone is welcome there. Would be nice if we could share the costs of Ancestry.com. I am not a member yet. Jane

On Ancestry.com, there is a database titled "Wisconsin Marriages, pre-1907". If anyone has access to it, I would really appreciate a lookup for spouse, parents, or any other information that may be available. Thanks!

Greetings..... I am interested in corresponding with someone concerning the Haberkorn family. I have discovered several Haberkorns married into my wife's family tree. I am interested in fleshing out the relationship among them. I have Haberkorns marrying Wuertz, Wollenburg, Metke, and Fellwock (all of which have a Dodge county connection). Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in finding out if anyone knows the locations of or has any listings for cemeteries around Clyman, Dodge Co., Wisconsin. I am specifically looking for burial locations and death dates for members of this family - at least John Krissen/Krassin/Krassien should be buried near Clyman (between 1870 and 1880): 1870 census - Page No. 1 (stamped "144" in upper right hand corner) Schedule 1. - Inhabitants in Clyman, in the County of Dodge, State of Wisconsin, enumerated by me on the 14th day of July, 1870.

After a fellow member (who may take credit and a bow!) mailed me some names in Union Cemetery, Burnett, Dodge County, I was able to revise my family history and figure out that my direct ancestor, John Ball, had gone with his *wife's* father and brother out to Wisconsin from Vermont. I cannot find the father and brother in the 1850 Census, but the names are EXTREMELY common (try Richard and Thomas Smith) and they may have been living in New York or another state between VT and WI. Does anyone have access to the 1855 Territorial Census? From what I have seen it merely lists number of members of household, but my ancestor, JOHN BALL, his father-in-law RICHARD SMITH and Richard's brother THOMAS SMITH are in it, Chester, Dodge County. I'm fairly certain of the composition of John Ball's family, but not certain at ALL about the composition of the Smith families. Thank you and I have, I hope, returned this amazing feat of genealogical kindness at the karma level by staying up until 2.50 am perusing the newish 1920 index to Massachusetts and finding a friend's grandparents and great- grandparents as well as some family members she'd never been able to find (immigrants from Russia). --Amy

I am looking for the burial places of my ancestors John BALL and Charlotte Smith BALL who died ca 1855 and 1857 in Chester or Waupun, Dodge County. I am also seeking Thomas SMITH who would have died in 1860 or shortly thereafter in Chester. John and Charlotte were born ca 1815 in Vermont; Thomas born ca 1882 in NY. Edward Ball and his two wives (Elizabeth and ???) would also be buried in this vicinity. I have found one Waupun Cemetery that was moved when a park went in, in the city of Waupun proper; in that cemetery are buried my direct line ancestor, Eleanor REESE SCOVILL(E) and her step-daughter-in-law Abigail ??? b. 1833 in NY SCOVILL(E). Abigail had a daughter named Maria who would also be buried in that area, and I have not found her. Abigail's widower, David Adkins SCOVILL(E), remarried Louisa J. BALL in Waupun and that is where the BALL and SCOVILL(E) lines first came together. Any information about marriage records or land records or cemetery listings would be deeply appreciated. --Amy, in Austin, Texas

Always looking for anyone researching the descendants of George & Aseneth King. I am a descendant of David Wilson King & Frances Frost, and have much on those lines, and am very interested in Roxenna Hope, who I have never found anything on. These families settled in Dodge Co. in the 1840's and some were there through the 1860's. Thanks, John Descendants of George Gilbert King 1 George Gilbert King 1801 - 1854 . +Aseneth Ticknor 1805 - 1869 .... 2 David Wilson King 1824 - 1895 ........ +Frances Ann Frost 1832 - 1908 .... 2 James T.

I am searching for my gg-grandfather's death notice of Nov. 26, 1851 in Trenton Twp., Dodge Co., WI and also that of his son, Emmett, who died Oct 30, 1853. I found them in the 1850 census, but that is the only information I have been able to find on that family. In the 1850 census we have Robert and his wife Eliza, their 3 children, Margaret (Elizabeth), Emmett and Byron as well as the father of either Robert or Eliza, Hugh. I think it is Robert's father, but Eliza's father may have also had the same name. They lived in the area during the 1850's up until 1865, but I have not been able to locate anything except census records. Can anyone help? Thanks Jim Cochrane in NJ

The National Genealogical Society invites you to participate in our upcoming national conference: 2002 National Genealogical Society Conference in the States 15-18 May 2002 Milwaukee, Wisconsin http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/2002cover.htm Please share this invitation with all of your friends in genealogy. ABOUT NGS & THE 2002 CONFERENCE IN THE STATES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The National Genealogical Society (NGS), established in 1903, annually assists over 17,000 individuals and organizational members in tracing family histories. The NGS provides leadership and education through its programs, online and home-study courses, publications, annual and regional conferences. The 2002 NGS Conference in the States will be held on 15-18 May at the Midwest Express Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is expected to attract some 2,500 genealogists from across the nation and several foreign countries. A complete copy of the program and registration information can be found on the NGS web site: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/2002cover.htm LOCAL HOST - WSGS ---------------------------------- The local host of the 2002 Conference is the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society, the oldest and largest statewide genealogical organization in Wisconsin. Founded in 1939, WSGS now has more than 1,400 members both in and out of Wisconsin. WSGS is a non-profit Wisconsin corporation whose basic purpose is to encourage, facilitate and improve the quality of genealogical study in Wisconsin and about Wisconsin families. For more information, see the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society web site: http://www.wsgs.org Please direct all inquiries, letters and proclamations to: Jack Brissee Wisconsin State Genealogical Society P.O. Box 5106 Madison, WI 53705-0106 OPENING SESSION -------------------------------- Marsha Hoffman Rising will speak on the subject, "Strong Links Make a Solid Chain: Linking Records to Identify Ancestors." Rising is a Certified Genealogist and a Certified Genealogical Lecturer as well as being a fellow of both the American Society of Genealogists and the Utah Genealogical Association. She is a former president of the Federation of Genealogical Societies and currently serves on the board of directors of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. Marsha is an experienced researcher, author and lecturer as well as being a founding member of the Genealogical Speakers' Guild. MASTER LECTURES -------------------------------- Presentations by the masters, not just for the masters. We've asked four of today's top genealogists/lecturers (Christine Rose, Helen Leary, Elizabeth Shown Mills, and John Philip Colletta) to each present a case study, on a topic of their own choosing, describing how they identified, researched, and presumably solved, a tough genealogical problem. LAYING A SOLID FOUNDATION ------------------------------------------------ Guidance by many of the nation's top teachers and lecturers on the fundamentals of genealogical research a series of seventeen presentations, running throughout the conference. An excellent foundation for the beginner, as well as a solid review and update for the more-experienced. SKILLBUILDING TRACK ------------------------------------ NGS and the Board for Certification of Genealogists are proud to offer the latest edition of the Skillbuilding track, a series of presentations designed for those researchers who want to improve their research and analytical skills. The presentations in this track, based on the theme of "standards," will help improve the research and reporting skills of any serious genealogist. AND MUCH, MUCH MORE ----------------------------------------- The four-day conference offers more than 200 sessions (lectures and luncheons, workshops and labs) on virtually every aspect of genealogy. Because Milwaukee and the Midwest have historically drawn immigrants from many countries, ethnic and immigrant research (on both sides of the ocean) will be a major feature, but it won't be the only one. From Revolutionary War pensions to the 1930 census, to research in Social Security records, from research in New York to research in California, from lighthouse families to Chicago cemeteries, from Salt Lake City to France on the Internet, there will be much to offer any genealogist. NGS BANQUET ------------------------- Enjoy fine dining at the Milwaukee Hilton. Then after dinner NGS President Curt Witcher will recognize individuals for their excellence in genealogy. The newest member of the National Genealogy Hall of Fame will be announced; the NGS Filby Prize winner, and others who have excelled in genealogical writing will receive their awards. Our banquet speaker is Patty Loew, a renaissance woman. Patty is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, co-host of WeekEnd on Wisconsin Public Television, producer of award-winning documentaries, and recently author of "Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal." Her presentation "Seeing Red: a Family Odyssey into Native American Heritage" is an account of her discovery of the rich heritage of her Ojibwe ancestry. LIBRARIAN PRE-CONFERENCE ------------------------------------------------ Quickly becoming one of many exciting hallmarks of National Genealogical Society conferences, another Librarians Serving Genealogists Pre-Conference is being planned for Milwaukee. Coordinated by Pam Hall Cooper with the cooperation of the Milwaukee Public Library, this Tuesday, May 14th pre-conference will provide a forum for communication and networking between librarians interested in providing the best products and services to their genealogy patrons. The event will take place in the Loos Room of the Milwaukee Public Library and it is necessary to pre-register for the conference. Information on the program and registration is available on the NGS web site. Beginning with check-in and a welcome at 8:00 a.m., sessions will cover topics such as "New & Old Inter-library Loan Resources for Genealogy Librarians," "NGS Book Loan Collection," "Family History Centers for Public Libraries," the "Mid-Continent Public Library ILL Program, and "From Neophytes to Know-it-Alls: How to Help Genealogists." There will be a Minolta Microfilm Reader/Printer 7000 and Book Scanner 2000 demonstration, a tour of the Milwaukee Public Library (Including the Great Lakes Marine Collection), a Database Management Panel session, and Tour of Goethe House. A box lunch sponsored by ProQuest (HeritageQuest Online) will be provided. COMPUTER LABS ----------------------------- If you are a beginner, learn about the genealogy software now available, and if you are an experienced computer genealogist, here's a chance to learn about the latest versions of genealogy programs and tools for genealogy. Instructors will introduce beginners to programs and demonstrate their features. Intermediate and advanced users will have an opportunity to advance their skills and learn special features of their software. Participants share a Windows operating system computer. Those attending must be registered for the conference for at least the day of the lab and pay an extra $50.00 fee. Labs are limited, with two persons to each computer. NGS LEARNING CENTER --------------------------------------- The NGS Learning Center is guaranteed to be a worthwhile stop on your tour of the exhibit hall. We will be offering a daily schedule of educational activities in the form of question and answer sessions, informal discussions, and demonstrations. A small sampling of the topics scheduled include online resources; historic maps; GEDCOM; digital cameras and other imaging devices; genealogical software; the NGS Web site and the NGS Online Census Course. Visitors to the Learning Center will also have the opportunity to leisurely explore a variety of software applications under the guidance of expert volunteers and to participate in daily drawings for genealogical software and other items. EXHIBIT HALL ---------------------- The many exhibitors who fill the exhibit hall will bring many and varied products and services for genealogists. There will be software to assist not only in recording your genealogy, but also for using the Internet; CD-ROMs for researching an expanding series of publications, indexes and databases; preservation materials; books; maps and memorabilia. All in one place! What a great opportunity for hours of productive shopping. At many of the exhibit booths you will find genealogical societies and organizations offering memberships as well as products, services, and free advice. International researchers and societies are a welcome addition to the Exhibit Hall. They seek clients and new members while offering information on research in their countries. WELCOME TO MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- Ethnicity - Place Names and People --- Look at any listing of Wisconsin place names and you will be struck by the obvious variety in ethnic origins of residents of the Badger State. Menominee, Denmark, Brussels, Berlin, Oneida, New Glarus, Wales, Paoli, Pulaski, Oslo, Stockholm, Nashville, Abbotsford, Athens, Albany, Schleswig, New Paris, New Lisbon, New Haven, New Holstein, Pan Yan, Fond du Lac, New Richmond, even New Chicago! And of course we have not even touched on all the places beginning with Wau-. The names signal American Indians, Germans, Italian, New Yorkers and New Englanders, Cornish, Irish, Polish, African-Americans, Kentuckians, Slovenes, Dutch, Belgian, Swiss, the whole panoply of peoples from around the world who came to populate America's Thirtieth State. And more recently Hispanics and South-east Asian groups have added to our exciting mix. --- Genuine American --- Yes, if you have an interest in ethnic backgrounds, you've come to the right place when you come to Wisconsin. And Milwaukee, the site of the 2002 NGS Conference in the States, An American Sampler, is in many ways a microcosm of the many ethnic groups you will find throughout the state. Not only does Milwaukee still have a number of ethnic neighborhoods centered on churches, cultural organizations, and restaurants, but also there are eight ethnically based genealogical societies active in the city or suburbs. When the Convention and Visitors Bureau identifies Milwaukee as 'Genuine American' they're not kidding. In Milwaukee we've got 'em all, it truly is 'An American Sampler!' --- Culture --- Back in the mid-19th Century when Milwaukee was largely populated by German immigrants with a strong interest in cultural activities, it was known as the 'American Athens.' That tradition still exists with the Florentine Opera, Milwaukee Symphony, the jewel-box Pabst Theater, the Milwaukee Ballet, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and the celebrated African dance company, Ko-Thi. If you like museums there is the Milwaukee Public Museum with its fantastic Butterfly Wing, and you must see the newly expanded Milwaukee Art Museum which perches almost like a butterfly itself on the shore of Lake Michigan. Or perhaps you'd like to visit the 15th Century Joan of Arc Chapel, where daily mass is still celebrated, or Miller Park where the Brewers play. How about the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle plant, or perhaps you'd prefer a brewery tour! All summer-long there is a succession of ethnic festivals. And we dare you to try to eat your way through Milwaukee! There are not only a wide variety of ethnic foods, but scores of restaurants in all price ranges and cuisine are within easy walking distance of the Convention Center. --- Venue --- The venue for the 2002 Conference is the Midwest Express Center, located right downtown at 400 W. Wisconsin Avenue. Just opened in 1998, this is truly a state-of-the-art facility, but one with a comfortable feel and over a Million Dollars worth of public art on display. The Hilton and Hyatt Hotels are literally just across the street, while six more are within two blocks of the Midwest Express Center. --- Weather --- Milwaukee weather in mid-May is usually delightful. Temperatures in the 60's to low 70's, although nights can feel pretty cool as can some days down along the lakefront. Light jackets and sweaters are a good bet. You will also find that Milwaukee, and Milwaukeeans, are a pretty relaxed bunch so informal and casual attire is acceptable almost everywhere. --- Hotels and Travel --- Transportation? Milwaukee County Airport (Billy Mitchell Field) can almost make you enjoy flying again (particularly if you travel by Midwest Express!). If you don't mind changing your mode of travel, you can fly into Chicago and then take Amtrak to Milwaukee, the Amtrak Station is only 2 1/2 blocks from the Midwest Express Center. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! --------------------------------------------------- 2002 National Genealogical Society Conference in the States 15-18 May 2002 Milwaukee, Wisconsin http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/2002cover.htm ------------------- National Genealogical Society 4527 17th Street North Arlington, Virginia 22207-2399 Phone: (703) 525-0050 or (800) 473-0060 Fax: (703) 525-0052 E-mail: ngs@ngsgenealogy.org http://www.ngsgenealogy.org Membership http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/member.htm Conferences http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/conf.htm Learning Center http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/edu.htm

Is there a list anywhere of the burials in the Old St. John's Cemetery in Herman, and St. Bartholomew's Cemetery in Nehosho? Thanks. kathy

I am looking for information on the family of John NEISIUS and Mary ERNST. They were enumerated in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses in Rubicon. In 1880, there was a man living with them named Jacob NEISUS, who was listed as grandfather (perhaps father to John instead). In the 1870 census, a Catherine ERNST lived with them, probably Mary's mother. Thanks. kathy
