Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jEC.2ACE/2118 Message Board Post: My ancestor was married in Fond du lac County in '"a religious ceremony performed by Fr. Lanzer of Waupun." I read in a history that "the Reverend Lanzer of Waupun helped Reverend Sund serve the Cambria Lutherans" from about 1887-1889. This family line was predominantly Lutheran, so I believe all the pieces fit that this is my Fr. Lanzer. My question: What does the Fr. stand for---surely not Father in a Lutheran Church? I read another message on this board about another Fr. So-and-So, who was a pastor of a Lutheran Church at about the same time. Can anyone help? Thanks from Bertie in Idaho.

(This message is being posted to numerous mailing lists. Please excuse the duplication if you receive it more than once.) The University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac campus will be the site of the upcoming Wisconsin State Genealogical Society 2006 Fall Seminar, "Crossroads at the Foot of the Lake" on Saturday, October 14th. The hosts will be the Fond du Lac County Genealogical Society. Along with the usual array of great vendors offering genealogy-related items for sale, the featured speaker will be nationally-known genealogical speaker, educator, researcher and writer, Paula Stuart-Warren, CGSM. Paula is a former officer of the Association of Professional Genealogists and serves on its Professional Management Conference committee. She served for six years on the board of the Minnesota Genealogical Society, and has served on program committees for the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National Genealogical Society. She is a member of the FGS Long Range Conference Planning Committee and was National Publicity Chair for the 2006 FGS Conference in Boston. Paula will be delivering four lectures: * Railroad Records and Railroad History: Methods for Tracking How many genealogists have heard that great-grandpa traversed this nation as he worked for the railroad? For which railroad did he work? Where did it run? Are there railroad records still extant which may tell us something about his ancestry or where he later went? This lecture addresses these questions. Visuals and references demonstrate the wealth of historical materials available all across the U.S. When this lecture is over you will know where to turn to find out more about the railroad, its records, and how to determine current day access to the records. * Twentieth & Twenty-First Century Research Are you stumped by missing or split families, unindexed censuses, city dwellers, lack of extended family, or often-mobile families? As we now move forward in the 21st century do you need information on the more recent generation? Do you have living relatives to find? Some researchers have neglected the more current relatives thinking there aren't as many resources to use. After this session you will be prepared to find some information on those who lived or were born in the 20th century. Sure, there are fewer censuses, but the many other records that are available will help you. As the years passed by some records became more standardized. More courthouses regularly created indexes. To these we add today's explosion of online catalogs, indexes, and finding aids. Research is research, no matter the time period. Some things remain constant and some records do contain more information and may be indexed. Whether you are researching in the 18th, 19th, 20th, or 21st century you still need to link the generations by proving relationships, checking out the relatives, putting people in specific places and verifying names, dates, and places. Finding a living relative with information to share or finding out more about a relative you knew is rewarding research. * Organizing Your Genealogical Materials How tall are the stacks of your genealogical materials and in how many rooms are your papers and books stored? Is it time you made sense of your materials, organized them so they can be found, and determined what is important to keep handy? How should you store your important materials? Just starting your research? Why not organize sensibly from the beginning? This session will help you deal with these questions, and also provide easy tips to help keep you on top of your organization. We'll even discuss some "lazy day" methods to keep you on top of your filing. * A Baker's Dozen of Simple Ways to Write Your Family History Any one can write! Learn ways to get your family history in print without a lot of strain. It's not as daunting a task as you might think. A "baker's dozen" of ways to work on this over time and ideas to get your greater family involved will be shared. You may find that you are already doing some of these but hadn't realized you were actually getting family history into print! Some of the ideas lend themselves to scrapbooking techniques. Including family health history information is an important part of the process; what you share in print may aid a family member some day. Sharing and preserving the family stories, both the joyous times and the tough times, can enhance your understanding of yourself and the greater family. Visuals will demonstrate the "Baker's Dozen" and a handout will point you to further ideas and help in both print and online formats. As a special pre-conference event, WSGS Past President and NGS Board Member, Jack Brissee, will present, Looking for Ourselves -- A Workshop for Beginning Genealogists, on Friday afternoon, October 13th, from 1:00-4:00 PM. Registration for this workshop will be limited to thirty attendees, so be sure to sign up early! The UW-Fond du Lac campus is located at 400 University Drive on the northeastern corner of the city of Fond du Lac. For campus maps and driving directions, see http://www.fdl.uwc.edu/campus_map.html.

According to the FCGW website, St. John's at Byron's records start in 1847. When I called the library in Hales Corners they gave me the film number for that parish - #1862504. When I check the contents of that film, it says it only has records for St. John's starting in 1860. The marriage I'm looking for was in 1856. Were those records prior to 1860 also destroyed in a fire? Thanks again, LuAnn

Hey Mollie...Godfrey sounds really neat-O. Thanks for sharing! I'm going to the site now and check it out. And, I know me: I will pay for a subscription as it seems VERY reasonable. Maura "Hi" I belong to this mailing list. Also, I have a subscription to Godfrey. Godfrey is a research library in CT with several datatbases. One database is Newspaper Archive and selected papers go back to the early 1900's. Every state is included; but NOT every town nor every edition. Thankfully, Wisconsin is well represented and I have found several Crain & Synnott kin in these files. Also included are some papers from Ireland - Canada - UK etc. When I typed the surname Mullen into the search box for Wisconsin - Fond du Lac, there were 368 hits. Several were stories about a ballplayer on a local team......so this would account for a lot of entries. There are some going back to 1960's and 1910's. You will have to decide if the $35 a year membership is worth the cost. Go to www.godfrey.org to see their holdings. You can register on-line with a credit card or write a letter with a personal check.

Thanks John Bird. Another Lister told me what you just said. In fact, she sent me a form. I'm going to call and find out the scoop.

Thank you, Tracy, for ALL the info on DCs and Mullens. I have had a few suggestions of where to obtain the cheapest DCs and am grateful to everyone who took the time and trouble to write. I'm used to OH's DCs, where some cost a nickel each, some are free, and some cost 7 bucks and the priciest of 20 bucks each...it just depends on where you request the DC from. If anybody needs this info, just write me. Related to the Mullen family: I traced Charles back to his family and thus far don't see them in my Tree. But...they could well be as I only discovered some Mullens in Wi a few days ago. So, of course I will keep your note in reach. The Mullens thus far that I am pursuing in WI are: Michael and wife Mary, and Joseph and wife Mary. My gggGrandfather, James and Mary Gorman Mullen stayed in Cleveland. But, I think these guys may all be brothers. Thanks Tracy and everybody who is helping me. Maura

Hi, I have a few tidbits of information for you, regarding Fond du Lac Co. Unfortunately, there is no way to obtain a copy of a birth marriage or death certificate for a reasonable fee. The only way the county will issue you a record, is if you purchase a full certified copy (I believe the price is $15-17 price range) A person can look at the records and copy out the information, but no photocopies allowed. On a better note, I have a few Mullens pieces of information in one of my collateral lines. It starts with Charles Mullens, born in Fond du Lac, but who moved to Wisconsin Rapids, in Wood Co WI His wife is part of a family line that I am following. I will look through my old records here at home, to see whether there is additional information. I know that when my parents purchased their first farm in the 1930's, it was financed by Bill Mullens (don't know who he is, or how my parents knew him) but he had money to loan out, and had a large beautiful home in fond du lac.

Try going to www.antigogenealogygopher.com click "Sitemap" then scroll down to the Pico search box and type the surname. Large site with lots of links to various records. Go to www.google.com and type: death+Franz Wirtz+Wisconsin Also at www.google.com type: death+Pascal Wirtz+Wisconsin Also try google with marriage+Wirtz+Wisconsin Some of the hits are on google's 2nd page. At www.godfrey.org there are 161 hits for a Peter Wirtz, mostly Sheboygan in the 1920's and 1930's......must be the offspring. Nothing for Franz or Pascal.
