Posted on: GreenLake Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenLake/10386 Surname: Chaffins, Krueger ------------------------- I don't really know. My Bertha Chaffins was said to have three sisters who lived "in the east" (in Bertha's obit -- she died in Spokane Washington, so just about anywhere would be "east." Seems she grew up in MN, and may have never set foot in Wisconsin as her husband, Louis Krueger, though born in Wisconsin, lived with relatives in North Dakota in his youth and was in Washington state by his young adulthood. If you find a Bertha among your Chaffins', let me know.

Posted on: GreenLake Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenLake/10385 Surname: BECZKALA ------------------------- I have my own copy of this book and can help. What you are reading is decifered like this: Mary BECZKALA married Adalbertus KREMPA at Berlin, Wisconsin on February, 3, 1891 as found in Vol 6 of the marriage books for Green Lake County this is the book with marriages (1893-1897) and the record should be on page 42. Podoll compiled records he could determine to be immigrants to a three county area, Green Lake, Marquette, and Waushara for a specific period of time. There are sections for marriages, death, and immigrations - not complete but a good overall study. He transcribed the information directly from the records. So you should be able to obtain the record. I have found the spelling was way off from what I know to be correct having grown up in that area. What I mean is that Podoll did not make a mistake, the names on the records may not have been spelled correctly and many people of the immigrant population could not read or write English therefore did not know if their name was correct or not. About these people: It is possible that they lived in another county, just went Berlin to be married near family and friends. Looks like this Mary is either a widow and remarried or BECZKALA is her maiden name and this is her first marriage. You won't know until you see the record.

Posted on: GreenLake Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenLake/10383 Surname: Betchkal, Beczkala, Bachkal, Betchka, Betchkaw, Beczka ------------------------- I have been researching the Betchkal Family name in Green Lake County Wisconsin Records and have had a fairly sucessfull time doing so but have run into a little bit of a jam. I requested an interlibrary loan for Brian Podell's book: "Prussian Netzelanders and other German Immigrants in Green Lake, Marquette and Waushare Counties, Wisconsin". Unfortunately they could only send a photo copy of the page that read the important information. Can anybody tell me what I am reading? The entry states: Immigrants (Polish Catholics) from "Prussian Poland" , "Polish Prussia", and other variants for Province Posen: / .... 4.) Beczkala, Mary- b. "Prussian Poland", marr. Adalbertus Krempa- b."Prussian Poland"; at Berlin 27 July 1891/ Vol. 6 (1893-1897), p42. The family member I am researching is Mary and Adam Beczkala . I would guess Adam is "Americanized" form of Adalbertus but what does Krempa mean or stand for? To the best of my knowledge Adam Beczkala passed away between 1886 and 1895 as the last mention of his name was in the 1885 State Census Record for GLC. The last piece of knowledge I have on Mary is in the 1900 Federal Census. I cannot find any death certificates for either one.(I have found 5 different spellings of the Surname listed above.) I have checked Oakwood, St Stans, and St Micheals records in Berlin and have found no graves. The family did appear to go St. Stans as later Family member's records are there but not Adam or Mary's. I thought Podoll's book would led me something but I don't know how to use the information? Can anyone help? Thanks Peter Betchkal peter.betchkal@kohlerco.com pbetchka@excel.net

I have been able to track the Dudley family but can find no trace of John Schermerhorn after 1870. I have reason to believe John died shortly thereafter but donot know when or where. By trade he was a millwright, served in the Civil War--was born in New York, Lewis County. Does anyone have any info on what happened to him after 1870? Thanks.

My copy of the Princeton phone book does not directly cover Markesan, but there is one listing for a funeral home that has 3 branches including this one in Markesan: Wachholz Family Funeral Homes, phone # 920-398-2991. Dayton Cemetery is not listed in that phone book, but perhaps the funeral home in Markesan can also tell you about that. To all members: I have that phone book for Berlin, Green Lake, Princeton, Redgranite and Ripon next to my computer for the next few days. Contact me off-list at gungazo@ameritech.net if you want to see if your surname has listings in the book. It's from March 1999 so may be a bit out of date.
