Hello Jan I checked the Dodge County births from 1875 to 1924 and there were no Brackenbury/ Brackenberg's. I also checked the marriages from 1875 to 1910 and there were none listed there either. And there were no deaths from 1875 to 2004. I don't remember if I told you the Dodge County courthouse burned down in 1875 so they don't have any records before 1875. When I go to Fon Du Lac I can check for a marriage between William Brackenberg and a Mary before 1880. I can also check for children of William and Mary from 1870 to 1895. I can also check for a marriage for Elizabeth after 1865.
