I am very grateful for the information. This information fills a big hole in the family history. I thought that Peter Weins' farm was near John Flesch's farm as Flesch was married to Peter's Mother.

Was wondering, are there any DVORAKs in that platt book? Or what about SOBEK? A great uncle of mine Frank DVORAK worked at the SOBEK farm some years ago back in the 1920s or 1930s [email protected] wrote: >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/lEC.2ACE/1065.1.1.1.1 > >Message Board Post: > >In the 1895 Plat Map found a P.

Since, Peter Weins and Margaret Heinrichs were married at Saints Andrew and Thomas Catholic Church, 101 Church Street, Potosi, Grant County, Wisconsin, on April 14, 1885, Peter Weins' farm could have been in that area as that was where Peter Weins was born. But, he left that area as an infant when his father died and his mother married John Flesch, Junior.

The surname is pronounced Wines. So, it could be spelled: Wiens, Wines, Wynes. I have seen it spelled many ways. Thank you for answering my question so quickly. At least through the 1880 Grant County, Wisconsin census he was living with his mother and step-father, Gertrude and John Flesch, Junior in the Hurricane Township, before his 1885 marriage to Margaret Heinrichs. Although, his surname was badly spelled in 1880 census. The 1895 plat book would be the only one that might list Peter Weins on his own property in Grant County.

Dear Wisconsin Researchers, Passing this information along. Certainly exciting! Roxanne The following information has been received from Michael Edmonds, Deputy Director, Library-Archives Division, Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison, Wisconsin regarding upcoming projects at the State Historical Society Archives. Please note that the last four (4) items are tentative and many months from completion, but just knowing that there is a plan to add more resources online is so exciting! Reminder: Check http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/ often for news about the Historical Society; that page changes several times a week. To see the Society's online research resources together in a single place, go over to http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp "1. Right now, we're putting the final touches on a massive vital records index that will please genealogists (http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords). Only births are there at the moment, but deaths will go up today or tomorrow and marriages in a few weeks. 2. By summer we hope to finish mounting all of our photos of small Wisconsin towns at http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/whi; there are 7,000 of them, and about two-thirds have been added in the last 18 months. 3. We're just beginning to digitize every page of Wisconsin Historical Collections and the Wisconsin Magazine of History. Late last fall we received a grant from the Schoenleber Foundation of Milwaukee, that will fund the work. We've scanned about 4,000 pages so far, and have 29,000 more to go. Then we have to figure out how to mount them in a way that's useful to researchers. My current estimate is that we will have every page available, searchable by subject matter or by keyword. 4. We may have early Wisconsin newspapers (1833-1860) available next month if our partners comes through as expected. Beyond that, we will probably undertake the following projects during 2007: 5-6. More than a million pages of Wisconsin newspapers and about 150 county histories will be converted to digital form later this year, but figuring out how to present them on the Web and doing that work will probably take us at least another 12 months. 7. We're also applying for a grant to make the core maps of Wisconsin available. 8. Another grant would mount 160 hours of interviews with survivors of the Nazi Holocaust who settled in Wisconsin. These last 4 projects will surely not go public until well into 2007, assuming we can raise the money to build them at all." -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
