Dear Patricia' Believe it or not, your husbands gggrandfather Mathias was the sister of my husband's gggrandmother, Elizabeth Flemming (Flemik)! We have a complete history of the family history and would be happy to send you a copy. The was done by a man named Kevin Fischer and was given to us by one of Jim's aunts. Also Jim has been spending considerable time at the LDS history studying the films for the Waldo area. Elizabeth Flemming married Laurentius Hela ( later Heller) and they two came to the Princeton area with their family. My husband is Jim Sobieski of Berlin, WI. His mother was Florence Zelinske Sobieski and she was the daughter of Steve Zelinske. Steve's parents were John Zelinske and Marianna Hela, daughter of Elizabeth Flemming Hela and Laurentius. Which child of Mathias and Rosalia does your husband descend from? We have the list of fifteen children and their spouses and some information about each branch as well as pictures and other written history. Maybe you already have this?? If not you will be thrilled. There is an account written by Clara Flemming of Watertown SD as told in the Spring of 1988. Her father was Mathais Flemming, Jr.and she recounts the stories he told. He was eight when his family came to America with 11 or 12 children and 3 grandchildren. There is also a story that was published in 1929 in the Correctionville, Iowa newspaper in 1929. It is an account of the life of Mathais and Rosalie in the old country and of the trip to this country in 1855. Cynthia and Jim Sobieski "Patricia R. Price Flemming" wrote: > Posted on: GreenLake Co.

If you are lucky enough to have found a village name for your ancestors, you are still not out of the woods as it can be daunting to determine where that village is or was. Many towns have similar or identical names. Here are some helpful sites: http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/index.htm If you know that your ancestors came from village "A" near larger village "B", you first locate the coordinates for village "B". Then set the mileage indicator to show the coordinates for "B", and the resulting search for "A" will show each village's distance from "B". For example, I knew that "Dzwiersno" was near Naklo. I set the coordinates on the search page for Naklo, and I found that Dzwierszno Wielkie was nearby. It turned out that that was the village I was seeking. There were many variations of Dzwierszno, all over the Polish map. http://www.feefhs.org ; large site with a great search engine http://www.mapquest.com/ ; click on Maps icon, then change the Country to the one you're searching, then search by village name http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp ; search for microfilms, the largest set of genealogy records in the world If you're seeking vital records in the old country, your best bet is going to be ordering the microfilms at an LDS Family History Center (FHC) near you. Records were often located at the nearest larger town, but unfortunately the LDS website does not show which small towns are recorded in each bigger town. The FEEFHS site attempts to index those record locations, but its list is far from complete. If you've never gone to an FHC you're missing out on a lot. The larger FHCs may have all the census records for your state, and tons of unexpected treasures such as immigration records, vital records for the US and for overseas countries, sets of the expensive Family Tree Maker CD-ROMs, the list goes on and on. The smaller FHCs can have much less data on hand, but may hold surprising things; one near my house focuses on Irish ancestry and has a lot of data not readily available even at the large FHC further away. Before going, search the Familysearch.org website shown above, and come prepared with a list of the films you'd like to see. Our small FHC was able to tell me which of the records are on permanent hold at the large FHC, saving me an unnecessary trip now and then. Renting a microfilm (if they don't already have it) costs $3.50. Some FHCs will allow you to send in your request and check by mail, saving you one visit. (There is no cost for going to an FHC, or fo! r accessing any of their permanent data collection.) Happy hunting! Deb Gunther
While researching my lines I came across these references that I had remembered seeing on this list. So I wrote them down: Jacob Jungck, pg 660 History of the Chippewa Valley Wisconsin Peter Jungck, pg 263 History of Dunn County - 1925 Hope this helps someone. Roni
