>From a correspondent - wants to know who the current State president is of the Wisconsin Genealogical Society is. Secondly, is anyone else who has their site at Rootsweb having problems with the counters not working - ie a message of 'timeout locking file'? Tim

Hi Tim, Yes to question number 2. Both Calumet and Sheboygan are having the timeout locking file message. Once I hit refresh and it did lock in and register, but only once. I went to the other county and couldn't get it to register. Glad to know it isn't just me, Debie Blindauer Sheboygan & Calumet Counties

I have just uploaded a transcript of the 1855 State (Wisconsin) census for Marathon County. In 1855, Lincoln County was part of this large county. Marathon was later split up into Lincoln, (1874) and parts of Taylor, Price, Vilas and Oneida. Also, check out the Family Trees pages of these two counties. If you want, send me a brief tree of your family - with NO living descendants, and via e-mail, so I can cut and paste them, and I will put it on these pages. Shelley

Here is something really different to get on the site. Any ideas?

At many researchers request, a new HELPME page for searching surnames on the internet can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/x-helpme/lessons/surname.htm While there are many places and ways to search, these are my words of wisdom based on people researching using our WoodCoWI and PortageCoWI sites (other sites may or may not be similar).

Thanks Tina... dropping the ball seems like what I am best at lately. I did want to add that Holly is making flyers for each state that has all of the county URLs and stuff on it, so it didn't seem necessary to try to cram them onto the brochure. If someone thinks there really should be something else on the brochure, I think we still have time to make some changes if it happens quickly!

>From the Crawford County mailing list: from the Wisconsin State Journal, Thursday, January 18, 2001 page B1 Courthouse cleanup continues by Richard W. Jaeger / Regional Reporter Prairie du Chien- Imagine taking thousands of file folders, removing the dozens of papers in them and handscrubbing a sooty film from each sheet. That is the scene at the Crawford County Courthouse, where work crews continue to clean up after a Jan. 3 fire that damaged the clerk of court's offices on the second floor. "We probably won't have everything cleaned and ready to return until late February," said Donna Steiner, clerk of court, who along with her three-member staff, are operating out of a tiny meeting room on the first floor. The Register of Probate staff and a judicial assistant also were displaced by the fire that was confined to the court offices. They are sharing offices with juvenile officials in the courthouse basement. County Clerk Janet Geisler said damage estimates are not available. There was no actual fire or water damage to the office and its equipment and files. An overheated electric motorr malfunctioned and spread heavy smoke throughout the offices. The fire was discovered by a county maintenance worker when he arrived at work. Steiner said the state quickly provided her offices with replacement computers so the office could return to work the next day. "We were able to rescue some of the current court files immediatedly after the fire and have cleaned them ourselves so the judge could continue with his cases," the clerk said. She said there has been some problems meeting requests for older paper records. "We had one man come in and want a copy of his divorce for his marriage liicense application," she said. "We had to take his name and will have to search for the record which is among those being cleaned by a professional cleaning company." Records and computers are not the only things that will need replacement and cleaning. The area needs to be deodorized, the ceiling tiles have to come down and some walls need repainting.

My Grandmother's parents came from Hurron Co., Ontario, Canada. Ontario is pretty much right over WI, and I think that would have been an entry point to the US. (I think) I have the flu and I can't pull the info out of my feeble brain at the moment, but I think that was it. I think even. SHEESH. <cough> K. > Question. > > In grandma's obit.
