Even though the record at the court house says "Gadner" for the last name we are trying to prove she was a Fairbanks. I asked to see the original marriage record and they could not find one. All the family history says her father was a Fairbanks but the records are just not helping. I was hoping there was a family member out there who could help us. Karen

The pre-1907 marriage index indicates it was GODUER. Wisconsin Marriages 1835-1900 Name: DAVID McCORD Spouse: ELIZABETH GADNER Marriage Date: 20 Apr 1856 County: Grant State: WI Wisconsin Marriages to 1907 Name: Elizabeth Goduer Marriage Date: 20 Apr 1856 County: Grant Volume: 02 Page: 0173 The 1860 census indicates that Elizabeth McCord was born in NY about 1841. I'm just guessing that her surname might have been Gardner. Have you already tracked Elizabeth through subsequent censuses to see whether a member of her family of origin might have been living in her household, providing a clue to her maiden name?

Surnames: Rogers, Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1026.6 Message Board Post: Todd, I have quite a few SMITHs marrying into my lines in and around Grant County. Let me know if you recognize anyone below - and I'll try to give you an idea of where they all ended up. James ROGERS married Elizabeth SMITH (sister of George SMITH). They had 4 children that I know about, and were buried in Parker, Turner County, South Dakota. Jennie ROGERS married Lafayette SMITH (b. 05 Jul 1859, d. 15 Nov 1914). They had 5 children that I know about, and were buried in Mount Vernon, Davison County, South Dakota. Emma ROGERS married George SMITH (brother of Elizabeth SMITH). They had 1 child that I know about, and were buried in Emmetsburg, Palo Alto County, California. James, Jennie, and Emma are all siblings with roots in Grant County. I don't know if this helps you at all, but shows a little bit of migration with the correct surname. Roxanne

The Wisconsin Historical Society is very proud to announce the Dictionary of Wisconsin History (http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/dictionary/). The online dictionary gives more than 2,000 brief lives of famous Wisconsin people (and many not-so-famous ones). It provides the exact location of every community and civil township in the state, and explains how every county and 800 cities and towns got their names. You can even display a map or satellite image of any city, town, or village with a single click. The dictionary includes mid-19th century descriptions of about 500 Wisconsin cities and towns from contemporary gazetteers and travel guides, too. You can imagine how this could help your genealogical research or just give you some interesting facts about Wisconsin history. We also encourage you to submit entries to help us grow the dictionary. The Society has also been busy adding 3,500 entries to the Wisconsin Name Index (www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni). For those of you unfamiliar with the name index, it was started about 1870, when WHS staff made a catalog card for every biographical sketch in each new Wisconsin county history. They made a similar card for every obituary added to the scrapbooks they called the "Wisconsin Necrology," and frequently added cards for magazine and newspaper articles about Wisconsin residents. After more than a century of such work, the data on the original cards was typed into a database that you can search online today. This time we have indexed Wisconsin World War Obituaries, a three volume scrapbook, containing newspaper articles and obituaries about the men and women of Wisconsin that served in the military during World War II. The index is available for you to find listings of your ancestors at your local library, through library loan or you can order copies from our Wisconsin Genealogical Research Service (www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/ogrs). Please forgive the length of this post. I hope you have found it useful. Best, Melissa

Hello, Sorry to butt in. Wife and I have visited all but 4 WI. court houses after we were told there were a few years the State Vitals office did not require the county offices to forward vitals. I know not everyone is able to travel to all court houses in America! Maybe we need more vols to do your research for you when you are unable to visit court houses? Duane -- Donna & Duane DeVoe Come Visit Lena, Illinois! http://www.villageoflena.com >>> [email protected] 01/19/06 8:22 PM >>> JoAnn, Grant Co., WI began recording deaths in 1876. There may be a few pre-1876 deaths in the records, but they would be the exception. The State of Wisconsin began recording vital records in 1907. However, many of the early 1900 records are missing. I can't be sure, but suspect the 1876-1907 death records probably only contain 30-40% of the actual deaths. Marriages are the best of the early Wisconsin vital records. For them, I would estimate 95% from the 1850's were recorded in the County and/or State records.

Duane & List: I rarely request records from the State office, but instead deal almost exclusively with county courthouses. It's not necessary to GO to the courthouse; a quick phone call to inquire about fees, followed by a written request with check and often an SASE will do the trick.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ROBSON, METCALF Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/862.2 Message Board Post: Matthew, In Jan 2005, I was in contact with you in answer to your message #1785 on the Genforum.com Metcalf Family Genealogy Forum. James METCALF Jr. b. 1842 England was my desceased brother-in-law Jim McNETT's GG grandfather. The Clifford O. METCALF that you speak about was actually Clinton O. METCALF b. 16 Jun 1876 WI, d. 23 Feb 1968 Cuba City, Grant Co., WI. Clinton's sister, Alma Ann METCALF b. 14 Oct 1865 WI, d. 1933, was married 12 Feb 1885 in Lafayette Co., WI to William ROBSON b. 19 Aug 1863 WI. William & Alma were my brother-in-law Jim McNETT's great grandparents. Jim named his youngest son Clinton after Clinton METCALF. Jim told me the story below about William ROBSON's father, Thomas ROBSON, & how he came to the United States in 1849. "Thomas Robson was of Scottish descent. On Robson's voyage from England to the United States in 1849, the ship that he sailed on became lost in a storm and sailed into the Gulf of Mexico. The ship's captain sailed the ship to the mouth of the Mississippi River and forced the passengers ashore and left them there. Robson and some of the other passengers cut timber for a raft and loaded it with their possesions. They purchased a horse to pull the raft with a rope from the river bank. When the horse could not be used, they used poles to push it. When they got to the present day location of Dubuque, Iowa, they found a sign that read "Free land --- 17 miles". Robson and the others walked the seventeen miles and homesteaded land there. Robson's father gave him a gold coin when he left England to come to the United States in 1849. He never spent the coin and the family of his great-great grandson James D. McNETT has that coin today." Jim always called his GG grandfather "Pa" ROBSON. Pa used to go to ND & capture wild horses which he brought back to WI. There he broke them & sold them. Pa bought some land just outside of Cuba City, WI & built a small cabin on it. The family called the property "the 80 acres". Later on, the family bought (or built) a house in Cuba City & moved to town. On occasion, Pa liked to take a drink & smoke his pipe which his wife Alma disapproved of. So Pa would go out to the cabin until things cooled down. Jim told of going to the cabin & finding Pa sitting out back in his rocker smoking his pipe. Pa would say " Sit down Jimmy" & they would sit & talk. The Fever River ran through the lower part of the 80 acres. The river was called the "fever" river because the water caused typhoid fever. I know that my nephews would like to have copies of the photos & family histories that you have. Sincerely, Fred Downs
