This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Robson Temple Metcalf Bainbridge Bewick Gibson Scheel Beyler Lutz Solevsky Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lEC.2ACE/1079 Message Board Post: Hannah J. Robson, born 1878, was the daughter of Thomas Temple and Elizabeth Bainbridge Robson. Thomas Temple Robson, born 1843 Middleton in Teesdale, Durham England, was the son of William and Hannah Temple Robson. This Robson branch also resided in the Lafayette and Grant county areas of Wisconsin beginning in the late 1840's, with the males of the line being mainly miners. I have a Thomas Robson, born September 7, 1822, spouse of Mary Ann Bewick, listed as the son of James (born about 1797) and Elizabeth unknown, born 1797. Elizabeth, Thomas, and additional children named Rueben (sp. Rosa), James (Mary Ann Hird/Hurd) Ann (John Dawson), and William were residing in Benton, Lafayette county, WI in 1850, but no James Sr. I have been trying to connect William and Hannah Temple Robson to the Robson branch above, (later connected to the Metcalf line through Thomas' son William), but no luck so far. Will be happy to share; I am researching for friends new to genealogy who would be delighted to find any family connections. Diane

I just wanted to share another great research resource. www.genealogytrails.com This is an all volunteer group and they started out with Illinois and have now expanded to include the US. I am not sure if Grant County is online yet but I know that some of WI is so far. Just wanted to share this. Carrol Mick --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

He spent the first winter at mining; then rented a farm for five years; began $500 in debt, and at the end of two years began the butchering business, which he carried on together with his farming until the expiration of the lease. Mr. Chapman is a veteran butcher of Grant Co., he having followed the business steadily from 1841 to 1874. John Watkinson was his first partner. In 1853, he formed a partnership with J. F. Kirkpatrick, which partnership he continued up to the retirement of both from business. Mr. Chapman is the owner of several farms---one of 340, and one of 140 acres in Platteville, 80 in Smelser, 160 in La Fayette Co., 160 in Iowa Co., 240 in Kossuth and Wright Counties, Iowa, and a farm of 140 acres, part in Platteville and part in Harrison. He married Sarah Kay, who died leaving four children---Robert, Elizabeth A., Mary J., and Sarah M., the later died in 1880. The second wife, nee Elizabeth Richards, died also, leaving four children---Sarah M., John, William, and Nora. All the children were born in Platteville. The present Mrs. Chapman was Mrs. Fannie S., widow of John Bonson, one of the pioneer settlers of Platteville. Mr. Chapman served one year as Assessor of this town; Treasurer two years, and Supervisor six years. He is a member of the Primitive Methodist Church, and is a Freemason. His home is now outside the city limits of Platteville, where he has 13 acres, in addition to the hundreds mentioned above. ==== WIGRANT Mailing List ==== Please remember to respect the copyright laws.

Hi Eileen, Unfortunately, there is no rule of thumb that I am aware of. I did some checking in the index, searched by date and name variations and came up empty handed. I know that it was in the 1880s when the state starting to really stress the need to register births, but even then, countless births went unregistered. Sometimes, the youngest child was registered and then the other children were registered at that same time. I have seen many children registered on the same day, although they were born years apart. In this case, it just might be that your great grandparents simply did not register the older children, but then made a decision (perhaps the church became more compliant or there was some sort of local campaign to get births registered?) to register their youngest. It is so interesting to try and comprehend why some things are registered and some are not, but it can be frustrating as well! Good luck in your family research and let me know if I can help futher. Melissa >>> "Eileen and George" <[email protected]> 04/04/06 7:01 PM >>> Melissa, I have a general question about the birth records. My grandmother Rose Ehrenreich was born 07 Oct 1901 in Rib Lake. Her brother, Ignatius was born20 Jun 1900 and another brother, Anthony in 09 May 1903. Yet, their sister, Mary born Sep 10 1907 is listed. Is there a rule o thumb here? Or, is this a situation where the children were baptized, but not registered with the state? Your insight is appreciated.

Thank you Susan for all the information. Yes, a great deal of info with lots of clues. This is much appreciated. Sincerely, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Campbell To: [email protected] Sent: 04 April, 2006 4:51 pm Subject: Hiram Stevens The information was from the researcher on Jonas Stevens. I got to thinking about the death date also. Perhaps it is a typo, seeing as Adelphia died May 14, 1901. If you could locate an obit or death record for her it might clarify if May 01 is the last heard about Ernest. Adelphia remarried to Henry S.

Eileen, In 1907 the State of Wisconsin began officially recording vital records. Prior to that, I would say marriage records were recorded in the County and State at...oh...about 95% accuracy. As for births and deaths, I can only speculate, but doubt they cover 15-20% of the total. Probably less. I've transcribed some pre-1907 births for Grant Co. and all recorded pre-1907 births and deaths for Crawford Co., WI. In both cases, the numbers were quite low. I have no idea what prompted a record with the County/State. Just one of those things that frustrate researchers. Personally, I think it was probably into the 1920's before "99%" of these were officially recorded.

My line is a Marie Elizabeth Riedel who was born about 1802 and she married a George Garbisch & they immigrated from Prussia (Klein Ujeschutz Silesia) about 1840 - they came with Lutherans anyway, this couple & their children lived in the Mequon area of WI and lived out their final days with daughter Johanna Garbisch who married a Wilhelm WEGNER (William Wagner) - in the 1870s and 1880s, you can find George in the home of Wilhelm - so because of the Riedel Ties already, and because some of the Garbisch line ended up moving to Clark CO WI, Grant and Granton areas, when I see RIEDEL names up there, I have to wonder, are they not related to my Marie E? It is always worth asking - and finally DO YOU HAVE PHOTOS - I have a book called the Garbisch garden with much info but no photos of George & Marie Garbisch or Johanna their dau who married Wilhelm Wegner (if I remember right - lots of photos in there, but the further back we go, there are just not much in the way of pictures/portraits) So anyone with info on the Riedels, please write Or if you happen to have photos on any of the above mentioned people & their line would love to hear from you as photos are the absolute best thanks for listening SUE

Riedel Garbisch I have little info on Johannas parents, mentioned in her OBIT as having settled in Milwaukee - I tried finding more info on them in the Milwaukee area but so far, nothing I noticed that there were other schriebers up in the Granton area & wonder ARE THESE SCHRIEBERS RELATED TO MY LINE OF SCHREIBERS - & if so, do you have more information on Johanna Dorotheas parents who settled in Milwaukee? Or info on perhaps some of Johannas siblings? OR perhaps which boat she came in on with her parents? At my grand dads funeral (richard john garbisch) Held in Granton in 1952 and he is buried in Windfall cemetery........his funeral book is signed by TWO SCHREIBERS, an Oscar and a Fred I have to wonder, were they relatives to Richard John, since his mother was Johanna Dorothea Schreiber Garbisch - I just have to ask because perhaps someone out there can tie my Schreibers in to theirs & share some new info with me about this line PHOTOS - I have no photos either of my Schreibers so anyone with photos, this would just make my day - thanks for listening & hope to hear from someone sue

I don't have a birth date for Ernest that is even an approximate one. A living aunt says that Ernest and Ina's brother, Lewis, were close friends. Lewis was born in 1871. Ernest and Ina had one child born 8 Sep 1886. We believe Ina died late 1897 early 1898. Can't find record of death or burial but believe she may be one of the unmarked headstones in Coleman-Whittaker Cemetery. Sometime in early 1890's, they either divorced or he just left. Can't find record of divorce. Lewis was in contact with Ernest but would never reveal where he was. Even on Lewis' dying bed, he would not reveal anything about Ernest to my grandmother (Ernest and Ina's daughter). Some believe he may have gone to Canada. A brick wall for many years and also trying to find him 'before' marriage is brick wall even after learning his parents names through the marriage certificate. Some info below: Sincerely, Mike -----------------------------\ (Ina Brown) In the 1880 Census she is living with her parents in Haney, Crawford County, Wisconsin.
