Hi Group: Which (1835-1900; & pre 1907) Grant County, WI marriage index(es) list parents of couples, when known? Or are these only available in original records and marriage books? I'm debating whether to send for records, pending enlightenment on this, as I'm not sure the originals will help at all. Time to purchase some GCGS items. Also: If memory serves, Henry RISTER and Ann KITTOE's marriage (1856) is listed differently on some indexes, where his name may be spelled "Ristler" or "Risther." I may be referencing a web site, not knowing if this is just a human error/typo or if he's listed that way in the actual index. Can anyone help straighten me out? TIA!

Sue, I just found my book and this is the address for the courthouse in Lancaster. Write to: Clerk of the Circuit Court Grant County Lancaster, WI 53813 Am sure they will get it and I always send SASE. If the information requires a larger envelope they usually send yours back. They have always been great people to work with. Good Luck. Roberta Summers.

Sue, I would try writing the Court House in Lancaster and give them all the information you have and just maybe they would come up with it. I've had great luck doing that only mine was older than yours. Their charge was always reasonable but it has been some time since I wrote them. Roberta Summers.

My grandmother, Mary Priscilla Ivens was born in Grant Countyon March 15, 1895. Her parents were Charles W. Ivens and Lucy A. Collins. She had the following sisters - all born in Grant County: Myrtle b. 2/23/90, Bertha b. 6/14/93, Florence b. 2/10/02, Roxy, and Lottie b. 11/5/88. There may have been a brother. Charles Ivens was born around 1870. He is listed as two months old on the 1870 Grant County Census. His father was John D. Ivens b. Feb. 24, 1836 in England. He married Keziah C. Moore on November 5, 1858. Their children were George E., Mary P., and Charles W. I think that John D. Ivens was the son of Edmund Ivens and Priscilla Dean who were married in England about 1830. Do you have any information about these people? Priscilla Dean

I am not aware of any Kral/Slechta ties in my family, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there is not. I don't know much about the Kral line at all. My GGrandfather was Joseph Kral, who married Rosa Talasch. They were both born in Bohemia, and I don't have a wedding date for them. He had the daughter they called Mary. But she was a Kral......GGrandpa had a son he named Joseph E. Kral, who married Bertha Isabelle Sabinsonon February 24, 1903. Joesph E. Kral had a son named Joseph Kral. Joseph Kral married and then divorced, his wife having moved to Texas. Does any of this sound familiar? Also, all the children of GGrandpa changed their name Kral to the English translation when they reached adulthood. I've never heard a reason why they did this.... Mari
