You may want to stop by the ARC in Platteville on Sunday afternoon, they are open on Sundays. This is where you would find older naturalization records. http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/archives/arcnet/index.html http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/archives/arcnet/plattvil.html http://vms.www.uwplatt.edu/~swwis/ Their card catalog is also on-line. For library material use the Platteville Karrmann Library card catalog. http://www.uwplatt.edu/~library/ For archival items use the ArCat catalog http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/archives/arcat.html ... limit your search to Platteville ARC if you wish.

Your vital records that you may access at the library will only be pre-1907 (Sept 1907). http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/genealogy/vitalrecords/access.html You could access after 1907 at each individual county courthouse.

The Memorial library would be open, if you are interested in using some of the foreign family books. They hold Deutsches Geschlechterbuch, these are families lineage books of 209+ volumes. Each book has it's own index in the back of the book. http://feefhs.org/de/pom/gi/dgb-137.html Some of these volumes indexes have been put on-line on the FEEFHS site. http://feefhs.org/ Go to 'web portal index' link at top of page and enter the family name. You may find other books you might get a 'hit' on this search are held in the Memorial Library. Be sure to bring a photo id, such as a drivers license, to get into the Memorial library. Your photo copy card will work in both libaries (historical & Memorial). Card catalogs for both the Historical Society and the Memorial Library are on-line. Save time during your trip and have your searches already done from home. This is the exact same card catalog you would use while in the library. http://madcat.library.wisc.edu/index.html This is the 'guest' access link. The call number CS621 D5 is for Deutsches Geschlechterbuch. "Die Ahnenstammkartei". http://feefhs.org/fij/ahnstamm.html Use the 'guided' search, not the basic if you are looking for Deutch? and genealog?. The ? will truncate your words so you can look for both genealogical and genealogy. Also in the same stack area are other lineage books in French, etc. > Given I will be there on Sunday and the Historical Society Archives > are closed, what other resources are available? >

In a week or so, a friend and I are planning a Friday, Saturday and Sunday trip to Madison, Wisconsin for research. To prepare I have made a list if items to research, these include items like: obituaries, census, marriage/death, early naturalization records (from before Wisconsin was a state) and land records. I do have some questions however, and hope someone on the list can assist. Given I will be there on Sunday and the Historical Society Archives are closed, what other resources are available? How difficult is it to use the collection of German newspapers? Were people ever naturalized in territories? Were civil war enlistees ever naturalized at the time of enlistment? Are there tips or suggestions to make the trip more efficient? Are there message boards at each building so I can leave a note for my fellow researcher if I cannot find her and am leaving the building, etc.? Eileen Saint Paul, Minnesota

>I would use saturday to ID where the local burials are, and sunday I would >use my camera to photo the headstones if possible, and the local areas, like >homesteads,,,, Regarding burials (in Grant County), an alternative would be to contact the Grant County Gen. Soc. in advance and get locations for your surnames by mail (if there's enough time between now and then). This would free up your Saturday to research the newspapers, obits, etc. ======================================== If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. --Marcus Antonius-- ======================================== Mary Thiele Fobian Writer/Editor Pacific Grove, CA
