The oldest son is Lewis or Louis, depending on the census, and how the census taker slanted the spelling. Next child is Rosanna (My ancestor). Below is the info I found, and believe correct. I have other census records and some mortgage info later if anyone is connected to this family, but I'm still stuck on who Wilhelmina's parents are. 1880 Census, Bala, Riley County, Kansas, film T9-0395, pg 352B Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Robert SCHENK Self M Male W 47 PRUSSIA Farmer PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Wilhelmin SCHENK Wife M Female W 42 PRUSSIA Keep House PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Robert SCHENK Son S Male W 13 WI Work On Farm PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Lewis SCHENK Son S Male W 11 IL Work On Farm PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Rosanna SCHENK Dau S Female W 8 KS PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Josephine SCHENK Dau S Female W 6 KS PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Henry SCHENK Son S Male W 3 IA PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Joseph SCHENK Son S Male W 8M KS PRUSSIA PRUSSIA Regards, Diane Wolford

List, Another historical reality TV show is coming to PBS. This one is called Texas Ranch House. 1867 Texas! It originally airs May 1-4, 2006. PBS's previous shows (1900 House, Colonial House, Frontier House and others) have been excellent. Below is the PBS website for Texas Ranch House where you can find when it will show where you live: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/ranchhouse/ Although I was born in Arizona, this should be interesting, especially for those with Texas roots or anyone who had families out west in the mid to late 1800's.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1082.1.1.1 Message Board Post: One of the members of the Grant County Genealogical Society, Kathleen Wolfe, over the years compiled The Index to Parents of the Bride and Groom. The index is broken in to two separate lists. Each list identifies the father and mother of the bride or the groom for each recorded marriage in the records. The information was taken off the information recorded in the marriage records. Obviously if no parents were listed in the actual marriage record the parents will not be listed in the Index to Parents. The first list is arranged alphabetically by the mother's last name, the second list is arranged by the father's last name. It is a very helpful tool.

My g'g'greatgrandfather's name was William Carlile. He was from Platteville, WI and attatched to the 7th WI Volunteers, Co. C. He was also captured and taken to Andersonville. He was captured at the battle of the Wilderness.

Hi everyone - Please note the e-mail from Kevin Frye to the PABLAIR List. My ever-so great uncle Ben Bowmer of Grant County was taken prisoner and taken to Andersonville and I imagine other Grant County soldiers were, too. Kevin was wonderful to look up what he had on Ben and is a great resource for others who had relatives at Andersonville.

Looking for info on Willis Underwood family in Grant County WI census of 1855. Ancestry.com states he is in the census index on page 001. Is it possible to get to that index so that I can see it on the internet? Willis was born about 1796 possibly VA, and d. Feb 1872 in MO. He married on 29 Nov 1823 to Margaret "Peggy" Underwood who was a first cousin of his. Parents of Willis were James and Sarah Thmpson Underwood, and parents of Margaraet were Reuben and Sarah McCarty Underwood. James and Reuben were brothers, children of George and Mildred Rucker Underwood of VA I have 14 children for Willis and Margaret but not sure how many were surviving in 1855. Virginia WINN Parker
