    3. I have just received some information from the 1880 Census of Liberty, Grant County, Wisconsin from Pat Smith. It lists my GGgrandfather Ludwig and Gggrandmother Catherine Julius, my Ggreat-uncle Louis and Ggreat-Aunt Elizabeth Julius and family; and my ggreatgrandfather Henry and Ggreatgrandmother Anna and family as being in Liberty. My confusion comes because the family history that I have says that Gggrandfather Ludwig, Gggrandmother Catherine and their children lived for awhile in Liberty upon their arrival in America, but later moved to Stitzer. The family history shows Ggreat-uncle Louis marrying Ggreat-aunt Elizabeth in the Methodist Church in Stitzer. The information also contains some information on a possible link between the Juliuses and Henkels. The Henkels are listed as being from Beetown, Grant County, Wisconsin. If anyone has any information on the descendants of Henry and Elizabeth Henkel I would be very interested as it was the family of Katherine and Heinrich Henkel that helped compile the information for the family records in 1967. I know that this is confusing, as I am confused by it also. As far as I know, none of the family remains in Stitzer or Liberty. The descendants of Louis and Elizabeth Julius have settled in Eastern Wisconsin, the descendants of Henry and Anna are scattered between Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. I have been able to contact several of both branches, but have not been able to make a connection with the sisters of Louis and Henry. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Beverly Miller
