I'm looking for the cemetery/cemeteries of my ancestors and some of their children. I've checked for the ones available online, and if they were buried in a public cemetery, they're not available yet. Thanks for reading. Diane Michael SCHENK b ABOUT 1804 Württemberg, Germany; d BEFORE Mar 1878, probably Ellenboro, Grant County, Wisconsin. 2nd wife: Catherine b Germany, d AFTER 1878. Last census record: 1870 US Census, Post Office Ellenboro, Ellenboro, Grant County, Wisconsin, roll M593-1716, page 105, dwelling 7, family 7: Michael Schenk, age 65, Farmer, born Württemberg, Germany Catherine, age 55, Keeping Home, born Baden Carl, age 25, born Württemberg, Germany, Mary, age 15, born Wisconsin, Bernard, age 10, born Wisconsin, I know Michael was married before Catherine, and I suspect she died in Germany, during the emigration or soon thereafter. Perhaps Carl is of that marriage. Other census records list older men, too: Charles, Joseph. There is also my ancestor, Robert Schenk, who moved away from Wisconsin, lived in Illinois, Nebraska, and Kansas. Robert married Rosa. Any information about the Schenks from Ellenboro is greatly appreciated.
