Today, the anniversary of the great San Francisco earthquake, brings to mind the letter and article about Fond du Lac's civil war hero, Gen. Edward S Bragg. He and his wife were returning from Hong Kong, where they had just spent three years in the United States diplomatic Corps, and happened to arrive in San Francisco to experience that fateful day 100 years ago. Here on his biography page, you will find links to the two articles that appeared in the Fond du Lac Daily Commonwealth, which detail their story of the earthquake, their return to their home in Fond du Lac, and some other opinions that the General brought back on trade with China. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wifonddu/resources/bios/gen_bragg.html tracy

Passing this anonymous one along, from a surname list-- Found it both humbling and encouraging-- Barb G. "THE CHOSEN "We are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. "Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. "It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. "It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. "It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. "With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. "That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those whom we had never known before." (unknown author)

Now online Marriage Records for St Matthew's Catholic Church in Campbellsport from 1869 to 1899 also alphabatized by bride and groom http://www.rootsweb.com/~wifonddu/resources/church/stmatts.html tracy reinhardt

Another list suggested trying ArchiveGrid, a search engine that is free thru at least May 31st, possibly longer. <http://archivegrid.org/web/jsp/index.jsp> Its main page says: "Thousands of libraries, museums, and archives have contributed nearly a million collection descriptions to ArchiveGrid. Researchers searching ArchiveGrid can learn about the many items in each of these collections, contact archives to arrange a visit to examine materials, and order copies." 51 items turned up when "Fond du Lac Wisconsin" is inserted; many of them are at the state historical library. More fun than [most] video games... Barb G.

Last month the Wisconsin Historical Society introduced our new Pre-1907 Wisconsin Vital Records Index, which can be found at www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords. We began the index with nearly 1 million birth records and are excited to announce the addition of nearly 400,000 Wisconsin death records. The new death index, like its companion, began as a 1970s microfiche publication. The Schoenleber Foundation of Milwaukee generously provided funds to convert them to electronic form, so now genealogists have free public access to a comprehensive pre-1907 index to Wisconsin births and deaths. Marriages, for all Wisconsin counties, are up next. You can discover ancestors by individual name, by browsing by county and year, or by exact date. Births and deaths can both be searched at the same time and then viewed separately, if desired. State law prohibits publication on the Web of original birth or death certificates, so when you discover someone about whom you want more details, you can order a paper copy of the complete certificate from the Society online. Most are delivered within two weeks, and Society members receive a 10-percent discount on each order. Or, you can use the index as a research tool that points you to the birth and death records that you need. Vital records are not the only genealogical source available on the Society Web site. To learn more about what we have online check out our genealogy page at www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy. Hope you enjoy the new additions. Melissa McLimans

Diane, Since the Surf is the culprit who is blocking Rootsweb, then The Surf is where you should continue to Complain. Complaining to Rootsweb will not do any good, and only clog up the rootsweb lines, that we need for genealogy. It is the Surf, and nothing but the Surf. They control what they block, and what they allow, and to claim rootsweb has a high spam count, sounds a bit far fetched.

attached is a link to some legal notices, found in newspapers for May 1876 http://www.rootsweb.com/~wifonddu/resources/probate/legalnotices_may1876.html tracy reinhardt

I searched for an obit for your Benedict Mauch yesterday, searching thru two weeks of newspapers following his death date. Newspapers in this time, very rarely included any obits. In this time period of two weeks, there were no obituaries at all.....the newspaper consisted of four pages, the first was all national news, the second and third pages were all advertising, and the fourth page a combination of local news and ads, as well as legal notices. However, if there were any 'minor' children when he died, your chances of finding probate records are pretty good, as well as finding a legal notice in the paper of his estate. In the two weeks following his death, I found a few legal notices for estates, and will be posting those notices on the website soon...... next time in the library, I will see whether there is a legal notice for him, although it is difficult to know just when the notice will be there (depends on when the probate proceedings were started). tracy ----- Original Message ----- From: <eevh56@charter.net> To: <WIFONDDU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 7:58 PM Subject: Obit for Benedict Mauch > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jEC.2ACE/2046 > > Message Board Post: > > Searching for an obit for Benedict Mauch - died May 12, 1876 at Campbellsport, Fond du Lac County, WI.

The first is a photograph of Susie A. DYER born Aug 9th 1850, married June 1870. The photograph was taken at the Van Dezande Studio in Campbellsport, WI probably sometime in the 1880's or 1890's with Susie likely in her 30's or 40's at the time. The second photograph is one of Carrie DYER born Feb 11th 1884 at New Cassel, Fond Du Lac Co., WI. This photograph also appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Carrie probably about 6-9 years old at the time. Based on limited research I believe that these may be photographs of the wife and daughter of Isaac DYER of Fond Du Lac, WI. I've located the family during both the 1900 and 1910 census living in Fond Du Lac with records providing the following information: 1900 census: Isaac DYER, age 53, born Feb 1847, married 30 years, born WI, parents born VT/England, a Carpenter Susie A. DYER, wife, age 49, born Aug 1850, married 30 years, 2 children/1 living, born NY, parents born France/NY Carrie E. DYER, dau, age 16, born Feb 1884, born WI 1910 census: Isaac N. DYER, age 63, married 40 years, born WI, parents born VT/England, a Flour Mill Engineer Susie A. DYER, age 59, married 40 years, 2 children/none living, born NY, parents born Germany/NY I'm hoping to locate someone from this DYER Family so that these beautiful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family.

I got it to print

I wonder if you contacted the Fond du Lac Reporter, they might consider this newsworthy and give you some publicity on it. If the descendants aren't doing their genealogy, they surely won't see it on this list. It's worth asking.

The first is a photograph of Susie A. DYER born Aug 9th 1850, married June 1870. The photograph was taken at the Van Dezande Studio in Campbellsport, WI probably sometime in the 1880's or 1890's with Susie likely in her 30's or 40's at the time. The second photograph is one of Carrie DYER born Feb 11th 1884 at New Cassel, Fond Du Lac Co., WI. This photograph also appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Carrie probably about 6-9 years old at the time. Based on limited research I believe that these may be photographs of the wife and daughter of Isaac DYER of Fond Du Lac, WI. I've located the family during both the 1900 and 1910 census living in Fond Du Lac with records providing the following information: 1900 census: Isaac DYER, age 53, born Feb 1847, married 30 years, born WI, parents born VT/England, a Carpenter Susie A. DYER, wife, age 49, born Aug 1850, married 30 years, 2 children/1 living, born NY, parents born France/NY Carrie E. DYER, dau, age 16, born Feb 1884, born WI 1910 census: Isaac N. DYER, age 63, married 40 years, born WI, parents born VT/England, a Flour Mill Engineer Susie A. DYER, age 59, married 40 years, 2 children/none living, born NY, parents born Germany/NY I'm hoping to locate someone from this DYER Family so that these beautiful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
