Surnames: Glynn, Welter, Loweth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/364 Message Board Post: Still looking for Glynn's in Wisconsin. Know of a Tresa (Theresa) Glynn buried in Hazel Green, WI, deceased 1937, daughter Clara A. (believed never married) buried in same plot, deceased 1933, Eldest daughter, Secelia married to Charles Loweth, died 1919, buried in Philadelphia. Tresa lived in Hazel Green for probably 30-40 years. Information we obtained shows a Marriage Record in Grant County of John Glynne & Theresa Welter on Oct. 4, 1884, this sounds close enough to be correct. Husband John also lived in Grant County, WI, believed to have been killed in Wisconsin, Do not know where he is buried as Tresa apparently came to Hazel Green alone. Tresa and John's son, John Glynn came to Alberta Canada in 1912 at young age. Family is trying to trace roots to Wisconsin and then back further. Having a tough time getting any info so all anyone can tell me would be most welcome. Anyone with ties to the surnames Welter or Loweth relating to Wisconsin, give me a call, please. Thank You

I found both alphabetical ordering and physical ordering of the townships in other counties, depending on the census year. Bill Smith Solon, Iowa BSmithIowa@aol.com

Thanks Kin I did have someone find them in Iowa, they were living next door to My family Esther and Richard Faull as William and Mary Toulds, exact ages and places of birth and not to mention middle initials all matched up. Thanks for searching. In 1870 Nuate/Nate Beeman is 3 yrs and with Elizabeth Faull Grant Co while Henry is still in the Civil War and in 1880 Uriah W Beeman age 13 with Henry Beeman and Louisa (Caunt)Beeman and they have been married for only a very short time at that point. Then Uriah W Beeman is in Oregon after Henry's death as in the obituary I posted for Mary Kinney Faull. A whole gang of my family went to Oregon, including Jeffers Faull McCloud Crow and Beeman. I may have found out why. However, I did know Mary Faull Jewell Beeman passed away in 1869, thanks to David. By the way that was a very well writen welcome to our new member! Cheers!

Phyl, Thank you! Your unknown family search to find which Parker kin are yours is a daunting task, I'm sure. One I have to undergo, as soon as I find the last hair on my head to pluck out! LOL I guess as we track our ancestors further back in time, the records become so scarce that a search like that you describe sometimes becomes almost necessary. This happens a lot when we have to look for that pesky female ancestor whose maiden name is an educated guess or location (in state) is unknown. Yikes, I'm not looking forward to that! I don't believe our local FHL has the book indexes either, sans a Civil War hardback (if memory serves) which I've already scanned and likely will have to use again, as I find more need. It's good to know those are available. I wonder, after looking at Bob's post on the 1870 townships, if they didn't stick to an alphabetical order to the townships? Gosh, that would simplify things. I did read on the Ancestry site, that the URLs used include the roll numbers, so I will pay more heed to those web addresses and see if that idea holds true. It will take some time to actually check it out, specifically to come to a confirmed conclusion. I may make that a project to start Monday, if something doesn't crop up to make it unnecessary. (knock on wood) Thanks again, Phyl!

Welcome Terri, I go by "Kin" or "Di" on this list. I'm one of those who likes off-list replies to go to my other address (kindet@ yahoo .com) [no spaces], because I hate spam and have filters on the addy I'm subscribed with. Some folks don't like this, but tough! LOL It keeps the spam down to a manageable level so I can read all day and almost keep up with the genealogy, let alone other important email. <G> I know you'll find a lot of helpful folks here. Our listmom, Mari is great, and we have a cast of list characters that puts many to shame. So just pull up your keyboard and mouse, and enjoy the journey! We all started out as newbies, whether off-line researching for years before the advent of mass numbers of puters or those who began thereafter. Some of us, like myself, will probably be newbies for another decade. <GG> It all depends on the access you have to sources and guides and how long you have to dedicate to the research. It helps me to know if you're also a newbie to online. I don't want to use shorthand or emoticons that will confuse you. (smile) You've done well to introduce yourself. In future posts, it will help those looking for your names, for you to capitalize the surnames both in subject line and the body of the message, thusly: BEDWARD, DAILEY, COPUS / COPOS, GILKES ...as you've stated are your names of interest. Also note that there's nothing wrong with using alternative spellings, and actually very helpful, as I'm sure you'll find in many records and searches. You are lucky to start with folks who lived late enough and arrived early enough to likely be listed on the 1900 and 1920 federal census, which recorded year of immigration and other very helpful details. Even though your notes say the year of immigration for your BEDWARD & GILKES folk, it will help to confirm this and locate them with their families and find out other information. If you search were mine, that's likely where I'd start out... Searching for Edward BEDWARD (giggle on the rhyme) in 1900 census for the state, county and township where your notes say he would have been. There are several ways to do this. Have you ever visited an FHL? Family History Library. Are you familiar with some of the major online search sites? Well, as you can see, there are some questions we need answered to know how to help.

Sandy, I looked for her under all names given, as well as for William Faull, Thomas Jewell, & Vernon Kinney. No luck for any census after 1850. I looked for Beeman and there were more than 400 for all census, but no Mary. There sure were a lot of McFaull & McKinney folk in many census... Maybe they were over the border in IL or IA.

Seems like today is my day for having list subscribers jumping in and doing my job before I get it done! <smile> Not meant as a slam, but as a word of appreciation for those who have been willing (and able) to help others! I would like to comment on one thing that Di has mentioned here. That is, the "off spelling" of Surnames. Don't ever discount a possible connection because you think the spelling is wrong. My Chapman GGgrandfather and his son both were listed in the Census as "Chatman". My husband's forbearer were listed as "Maudlin" rather than the latter used "Modlin". Remember that of those of the earlier dates, many were what we would term "illiterate".....not being able to write their name. During those times, it was even an insult if you asked someone to spell their name, because it would expose their "lack". As a consequence, many census takers just wrote the names down as they sounded. Having been from NC, and most probably with an English/Southern accent, it isn't any wonder that the name was written "different", and various ways. From Maudlin, Moglin.........and changed eventually for the latter century persons as Modlin. I still don't know/haven't learned why the name was "officially" changed. My father-in-law never mentioned that the name had evolved in spelling.......not even sure he knew. I questioned my mother-in-law about it, and she'd never heard of the spelling having been changed either. Anyway, my point is, that though the name may be spelled on the Census as different from that as you know it, doesn't mean that there is no connection. Study the dates, the given names......you may find a whole new line to follow!

Hello everyone, I subscribed to this list a few days ago, and I have already learned alot from reading the posts from the past. My name is Terri Zielke, and I am from La Crosse. My mother is originally from Wauzeka, and most of her roots are from Grant County, hence the reason I have subscribed. I am very new to family research, but I have a experienced friend that is guiding with me for my first project. So please excuse me for sounding like a newbee, for I am. The names I am researching are Bedward, Dailey, Copus, and Gilkes. It seems that most of the Bedwards in the area descend from the same couple, Edward Bedward and Harriet Gilkes, who immigrated from England in 1891. Edward's son, George married Cora Dailey, (11-12-1919) who's parents are Steve Dailey and Rose Copus (maybe Copos). My mission is to find out who these people were. I was told by my Great uncle Edward Bedward of Woodman that Rose Copus (he spells it Copos) was a full blooded indian, and that Steve Dailey was french or italian. Other children of Steve and Rose Dailey were Arthur, Arnold, and Ethel Dailey. Ethel married a Speise (not sure on spelling). Does any of this connect in with anything anyone else is working on? Thanks in advance. Terri Zielke

Hi - The index does not give townships in order, but I just finished listing Parkers in Ohio in 1850 - county by county - I may have mentioned this before. It was very time consuming because I have no idea of the family I am looking for. So, one by one, I put them in the county, and then the number after their name lists the page they appear on (in most cases). Those numbers then have a township after them. Am I repeating myself?

George then married Christina McKnight who raised Mary and siblings until 1884 when George murdered her. I have a newspaper account of this murder. Her father came to America about 1860 from Germany. Landed in Liberty, Pa and in 1867 came to Wisconsin. Mary's siblings were: Emma, Katie, Edward, Amelia, Melissa. The newspaper article gives outstanding facts and information, will share more if interested.

Mrs. Mary Faull Hillsboro Independent, Oregon Thursday, March 2, 1933 Funeral services for the late Mrs. Mary J. Faull, who passed away at her home here on Friday morning, were held from the Donelson & Sewell chapel Saturday afternoon. The Rev Henry S Maller, Congregational pastor, officiated. Mrs. Faull was born in Vermont, April 4, 1817. Her husband, William Faull, died in 1927. The Faulls moved to Hillsboro from Dallas, Oregon, 18 years ago. One brother Vernon Kinney of Wisconsin, a neice, Mrs. Gertrude Cochran of Dishman, Wash; a nephew, U. W. Beaman of Portland; a foster daughter, Mrs Josephine Graap of Hillsboro and her daughter, Miss Norrige Graap of Portland, survive. The deceased was a charter member of Women of Wooderaft of Dallas, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of that city. This obituary was transcribed as it appeared in the original Newspaper, any errors were not corrected to keep the authenticity. This is one of my great aunts, who was married in Grant County, in 1875. I did find out that she was born in 1857. _____________________________________________________________ Sign up for FREE email from The PI Directory at http://www.pi-directory.com
