Does anyone have an answer to this question? Thanks, Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan and Carol Getchell mailto:getcheld@cuttingedge.net To: jhufschmid@prodigy.net Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 1:27 PM Subject: Chippewa Co Question. In grandma's obit. Ella (Nelson-Smith) Josephson it states, "She came to Huron country with her parents in 1908 and was married to Rev. John A. Josephson in 1909". Question is, what today was Huron country then? Thanks, Dan

Jan, Sorry to hear about your husband and your puter problems. I hope and pray everything turns out for your husband, that the radiation has gotten rid of the cancer. Hopefully you will get the new puter back soon. Debie Blindauer Calumet & Sheboygan County

Thanks for adding us to the WIGenWeb Tina...... Really appreciate that. Sorry to be kind of silent lately - but - hubby has been going thru radiation for cancer, (last treatment tomorrow and I believe it was caught early and things are gonna be okay) trying to type a zoning ordinance as we're going into our own zoning where I work and then to top it all off my new (5 month old) puter flatlined on me, so having to take it to an authorized dealer for warranty work, which they say will be 3-5 weeks. So I drug out the old puter and starting to get caught up.... <GRIN> (Is there such a thing?) Jan Visit Jansdigs for History & Genealogy http://www.jansdigs.com/

This came from Tim Stowell last night: Fellow volunteers, The USGenWeb Advisory Board is working on the application for registration of our name (USGenWeb) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). To properly accomplish this, we must hire an attorney to review the paperwork and advise us as to proper procedures. The application fee is $325 but the real cost will be the attorney fee. With attorney fees running upwards of $75 per hour we are uncertain of the total amount needed for the filing. We already have pledges from 60 members amounting to $2067, probably more than enough to accomplish this very important task. But the Board feels that everyone should be given the opportunity to participate in funding this effort, and I agree. It is my sincere wish that we could join together and, ideally, that each member would pledge $1.00 toward this very important goal. This would be a wonderful way to bring all into full participation in protecting our name through PTO registration. When we are certain of the total cost and the total number of persons making pledges, we will call in pledges based on the maximum amount needed per person, but in no case exceeding the amount of anyone's pledge. For example, if $18 per person should be necessary to cover all costs, those who pledged less than $18 will be asked to contribute their pledge amount and those who pledged more than $18 will be asked to contribute only $18. If you would like to join in this effort, please send an e-mail by February 1 to Joe Zsedeny, jzsed@westelcom.com, with a cc (carbon copy) to John Schunk, jschunk@skpub.com, with (1) the amount of your pledge (any amount from $1 on up) and (2) a yes or no as to whether it is OK to add your name as a pledge drive participant at http://home.kscable.com/jschunk/pledge.html). We would like to allow everyone who wants to participate to do so. Won't you join in this very important endeavor?

I see that I am not the only one that has FOOD on the brain, it is definitely my Wisconsin upbringing... Don'tcha know everything is solved by FOOD... at least my grandma thought so!!! OK OK, I am still getting trash over the cows, but cow butts are BUTT UGLY, I know as I used to have to milk the stinky things (COWS not their butts!!! Where are your minds) (grinning as I duck) Nance, great minds think alike... (grin)... And it really doesn't' matter who had the original thought, as long as it is acted on, that is reward enough. A dear friend of mine said to me once (when I was having problems with my bosses hogging the credit for my ideas..) who cares who thought of it as long as you get your way (grin) - after I thought about it, I had a good laugh - now that is a SMART woman, no wonder she made full bird Colonel in the Marine Corps... Tina, I see you are trying to rope in ideas and concepts... I will be doing the dissertation writing all day Tuesday and meeting with the chair on Wednesday, so I will be happy to be at the chat room, if I remember and don't fall asleep (grin)... I am really excited about having a "Celebrate WIsconsin" featuring the different counties... I am constantly shocked (in a good way - hmmmm delighted, bedazzled - much more better - grin) when I visit (when you can tear me away from what I am focused on long enough - grin) the other CC's sites at how much we have done in the last five years!!! More later, as I am going back to the couch to finish hand quilting my quilt. HA HA HA, it isn't out of dedication, just sheer survival, as I can keep warm doing it (LOL)... R/S MAK Hey MAK, 40 DEGREES!!! Same as us up here today. Saw the neighbors getting their jet ski's out! Sure I can't send you a nice truck load of snow for your front yard so you can experience the full pleasure of northern living?? Don't forget the Brautwurst Festival, Saurkraut Festival, Garlic Festival (known for miles around), Hamburger Festival (Seymour, WI), Sweetcorn Festival, and Oconto County's Copper Fest (Hmmmmmm, always did march to a different drummer). Sunning in Suring!
