    1. Re: Where did settlers move? (Schenk)
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Schenk Prawn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1026.5 Message Board Post: My ancestors, Robert and Wilhelmine (Wilcena) Schenk, moved from Grant County to Illinois sometime before 1869. (They were married Dec 1856.) After a year, they were in Riley County, Kansas. By 1877, they were in Iowa. A few years later, they were in Kansas again, then Nebraska. (If you believe census reports) I could never figure out Wilhelmine's true birth name. On county marriage license, she is listed as Wilcena Prawn, daughter of George and Christiana Prawn. However, I cannot find a George or a Prawn that fits the spelling or variation of spelling in the 1860 Grant County census. Other county 1860 census on Ancestry.com did not yield results. If the county clerk misunderstood Wilhelmina for Wilcena, what was the original name that would have been guessed as Prawn? A later census states she could not read or write English (she emigrated from Prussia) so everything about her ancestry is up in the air right now.

    1. Re: Migration patterns from Grant County
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Klein Kline Youngblood Jungbluth Becker Huenefeld Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1026.1.1 Message Board Post: My great-grandparents, George and Caroline JUNGBLUTH Klein moved from Grant County [Lancaster/Boscobel area] to Custer County, NE in about 1885 where they homesteaded in the Stop Table area about 12 miles southwest of Callaway, NE. Family legend says that George worked for a family name Huenefeld and he went with them to Nebraska. Caroline Jungbluth Kleins parents were in the Liberty area of Grant County when George and Caroline married in 1881 in Boscobel. By 1882 her parents and younger siblings were in Wood Co., Marshfield, WI area where Christine BECKER Jungbluth lived until her death in 1914. Adam Jungbluth [Youngblood] died from in 1882 when a horse kicked him in the head. George's younger brother Andrew went to Dawson County, NE and was there at the time of the 1880 census as a single farmer. It is believed that he, too, had been in Grant County as in 1881 he went back to Grant County where he married a Louise Huenefeld. They appear to have spent at least 20 years somewhere in Nebraska, and perhaps 30 years, as their 9 children that I have identified seem to have all been born somewhere in Nebraska. I am still trying to determine where they lived in Nebraska. They moved to the Olympia, Thurston Co., Washington area in about 1912 where they used the surname KLINE, instead of Klein. There still appear to be some descendants in the area of Olympia, Thurston County, WA. Even today, Custer County, NE is a tough place to live in and in the homestead era of the 1880s it must have taken extreme courage to survive there, as George and family did for 30 years before moving to Tabor, Iowa. I am attaching a picture of the Kleins in front of their soddy taken in about 1895. Ron Klein

If you can post a list of Edward & Catherine's children's names and approximate birth years, it may be possible to find marriages. I seem to recall from the censuses that some of the girls had somewhat unusual names. Do you subscribe to ancestry.com?

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1026.4.1 Message Board Post: Thanks again for the new information! I hope there are some descendants that in time will see this. All this is but an attempt to research my Smith line by working down collateral line to find others who have done additional research. It was very unusual for anybody to leave Kentucky and wind up in Wis., so thought that very striking. Most of our out migration was to Missouri, points west. Some went to Illinois, Kansas, and a lot went to Texas from here as well. Thanks again, Todd

    2. David W. Taft
    3. Ron, I'm not sure I understand your comments. I have used HQ for years as well. Originally through my membership with the NY Genealogical and Biographical Society and most recently through the Godfrey Library (Godfrey is ending this service for new members). As I learned though this link, I can now access it free as a TX library card holder. I love it. The images are sharp and can be saved as PDF files. Those print great for the early census records. For the 1900-1930, I do save the images in TIF format and then insert the image into an 11 X 17 Word Document with minimal margins to print. Granted, I have to print any of those at the office since my home printer won't handle that size paper. Who is your HQ service through? HQ doesn't offer subscriptions to individuals, only through institutional members. You may want to try changing providers, but that shouldn't account for problems with image resolution. For me, it's been great and much cheaper than Ancestry for their census package. Granted, I do use Ancestry for their indexes in the years HQ doesn't have indexes available. Dave Taft

    2. 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/1026 Message Board Post: I am following the trail of a gr.gr.gr. uncle who left Kentucky, was briefly in Indiana and appears in the 1860 census of GRANT CO., WIS. There the trail has grown cold, and I assume they moved west. EDWARD SMITH (b. 1812/KY) and his wife CATHERINE (Parks) SMITH (b. 1822/KY) and their several children were in the 1850 census of Brown Co., Wis., and finally would up in Grant. They seem to have vanished without a trace and no other data base or researchers for this fairly large family have been found. Can anyone tell me what the general migration pattern was (if you can say there was such) for that part of Wisconsin? Is it possible that they went up into Canada, or was that not a trend? If anyone can give me some feedback on the concept, or certainly if anyone should have a connection with this family, I would appreciate hearing from you. Todd Moberly

    3. In case you have never used it, HeritageQuest has digital images of the 1790 - 1930 census. Additionally they have over 25,000 digital family and local histories. Better yet, many individuals are eligible to get free in-home access. Below is a link describing access information by state. If your state doesn't offer anything for you, the listing also includes numerous genealogical societies who offer free access to their members. The cheapest genealogical society is $27/year including HeritageQuest. Not a bad deal for such a great database. http://www.eogen.com/HeritageQuestOnline Enjoy, Dave Taft Arlington, TX
