It is New Year's Eve 1852 and an ancestor sits at his desk by candlelight. He dips his quill pen in ink and begins to write his ten New Year's resolutions: 1. No man is truly well-educated unless he learns to spell his name at least three different ways within the same document. I resolve to give the appearance of being extremely well-educated in the coming year. 2. I resolve to see to it that all of my children will have the same names that my ancestors have used for six generations in a row. 3. My age is no one's business but my own. I hereby resolve to never list the same age or birth year twice on any document. 4. I resolve to have each of my children baptized in a different church -- either in a different faith or in a different parish. Every third child will not be baptized at all or will be baptized by an itinerant minister who keeps no records. 5. I resolve to move to a new town, new county, or new state at least once every 10 years -- just before those pesky enumerators come around asking silly questions. 6. I will make every attempt to reside in counties and towns where no vital records are maintained or where the courthouse burns down every few years. 7. I resolve to join an obscure religious cult that does not believe in record keeping or in participating in military service. 8. When the tax collector comes to my door, I'll loan him my pen, which has been dipped in rapidly fading blue ink. 9. I resolve that if my beloved wife Mary should die, I will marry another Mary. 10. I resolve not to make a will. Who needs to spend money on a lawyer?

Does anybody out there know if voter's registration records are available? I'd like to see how my great grandfather voted, or if he voted, or where the voting booths would have been located, if he lived in Muscoda, Grant County, WI at the time, this would be anywhere between 1881-1927. I'd appreciate any help that anybody could give me on this matter. HAPPY NEW YEAR! John in Michigan

Kendalltown is located between Belmont, WI and Darlington, WI (located in LaFayette County). Today it is referred to as Truman, more so than Kendalltown. You probably would not be able to find it on MapQuest as it really is just an intersection of two country roads. Deb Peterson

Thank you Ellen. I spent my first 19 years in Platteville. We didn't have a car in the early years so we didn't do much traveling. I have heard of Truman.
