We are looking for the grave of my husband's great great grandparents. We have a picture postcard, presumably taken before 1915 somewhere in Wisconsin, of their very substantial tombstone. I am sure that it would have survived to this day -- somewhere. It reads: Donahue "May God Have Mercy on Their Souls" James Donahue, Died July 10, 1883, Aged 61 years Margaret Donnelly, His Wife, 1829 - "Natives of Co. Cork Irld." According to a notation on the back, Margaret died in 1915. Until recently we thought they were buried in Fond du Lac County, but (thanks to the census rolls on-line!) we have now found them in the 1860 US census and James in the 1875 state Census in Lyndon, Juneau County. (And we anxiously await later Juneau County US censuses.....) So now we suspect that they are buried in a Catholic cemetery in the Lyndon area. I'm not sure what cemetery that would be; I THINK I have looked through all the cemetery records on-line with no luck. Does anyone have a record of these cemeteries and/or have knowledge of such a headstone? Also, if anyone has ready access to the 1870 or 1880 US census for Lyndon, I would appreciate any information.... (I am leaving on a business trip Tuesday afternoon, and will be back Saturday night. While I will not be able to respond during that time, please understand that I will be most grateful for any information and will respond quickly upon my return.)

This is a really neat site for finding places. You can type in a town or city or name of something and find locations for cemeteries and landmarks. Follow the directions on how to enter places. I looked up our town and found our house, it is just a dot but it's there. Use settings 1:25,000 and large to zoom in. Have fun. http://www.topozone.com/find.asp Peggy :) Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly! :)

Kathleen sent me the following, FYI: ****************************** I have started a new mailing list called WI-Cemeteries. It is a mailing list for anyone interested in locating, and preserving historical information about, Wisconsin cemeteries or sharing information about them.

--part1_70.3165af6.26f62fa1_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello Everyone, I need your help!!! I belong to a list for Hamilton County, Illinois. We are having a major problem. Two men in Iowa are stealing FREE information from a wonderful lady that belongs to the list. They are copying and pasting her information onto their site then CHARGING $45-50 to us to see the information. If you would would you read the letter below and do what your heart tells you to do. Please don't let this past you, it only takes a couple of minutes to write a letter and send it to the Attorney General in Iowa. One they are violating copyright laws and two they are committing fraud! Please help this also involves you, because these two people might be stealing your information and putting it on their site! Thank you for your time Michelle James Researching::Perry County Indiana......James, Goffinet, Sprinkle and many other branches of the tree that seem to never end. Researching::York, Austin, James from WI Hi Gang, Well, here we go again. He is back, now with his own domain: http://www.FamilyDiscovery.com I received a message from a lady who is trying to stop this fraud. Please visit her site and then click on the "attorney general" link which will allow you to send a complaint to the Iowa Attorney General. Maybe if enough of us complain, they will do something. Your message need not be long. Just state that the web site Family Discovery is committing fraud and are violating copy right laws and that you support free genealogy on the web. Please give your name and address. http://hometown.aol.com/vikkigray/saguachecensus1.htm Again, right now you go through the backdoor and view his Alabama site. You will see that he has "copy and pasted" info. directly from my Standerfer site and posted the info. on his site. I have changed the URL's for the links so that they no longer work. This is only a temporary measure and I can't keep changing them for the Standerfer or the Hamilton County site. If he is not stopped, he will no doubt collect a large database of Genweb info. and personal homepage info. http://128.121.230.66/Records/states/alabama.htm There is a telephone number for Mr. Abodeely that is listed and I tried to call. It is a Carpet company who has never heard of Mr. Abodeely or Mr. Cook. Please take the time from your busy day to do this.

No that would be ok.. I think.. but you have to get to the parent directory of his site.. where he wants to charge you for what you can get for free with a little bit of searching.. or a whole lot of searching sometimes. <g> But why should someone make money from others hard work and many like me have a web page that is full of what information I have and will gladly s

Hi Jackie, The disclaimer only appears on a few pages and not on the title page where he states that this site contains genealogical databases....of course he has: OURS. I don't know if the IA Attorney Gen. will do anything or not. But maybe it is worth a try. I don't know what else to do. Carol ______________________________ - ----------------------------

Hi all, The White County Historical Society has a few of Pat's books for sale but she sells most from her website at http://scribers.midwest.net/patdavis. She ran out a while back when her copier broke down and she tried getting parts, but she purchased a new machine and is back in business. I think she is going to be at the GSSI meeting 10/14/2000.

Carol , My complaint has been filed. I had noticed a day or so ago that he "WAS BACK " but saw no further mention of it so I did not say anything. From now on I will. Maybe this will help take care of him for good. It would be a shame and a great loss for many of us to no longer be able to recieve the wonderful information both you and Misty provide .

Question: Is it really fraud when the disclaimer states the page only contains "EXTERNAL links which are not owned or operated by Family Discovery. This is merely a search engine that takes you directly to the information skipping all the time consuming steps"? Don't get me wrong, I positively abhor what this site is doing. Personally, I'd like to string up the people responsible for these type of sites. But will the Iowa Attorney General be able to do anything? Jackie Wilson Smith ______________________________ - ----------------------------

Carol, I checked this morning to see if he had any of my info and I didn't find any, but I did just now find some of your marriages on his KY page. What a rat.

Thanks once again to Joan Benner the 1895 Summit census is complete and online. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wijuneau/ Jackie FYI - I will be out of town from Sep 6th until the 13th.

I just found out that the dates of some of the marriages are wrong, and Ancestry.com is working on correcting them. Jackie

Is anyone researching a W. D. Peaslee or Edwin Peaslee from Necedah? If so there is a wonderful letter for sale on Ebay.com at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=422518580 dated 1867. Jackie

Sure I haven't even finished the Juneau Co. births and deaths and now here is the marriage index :-) Jackie WISCONSIN MARRIAGE INDEX, 1820-1907 This index contains more than 920,000 individuals married in the state of Wisconsin prior to 1907. Wisconsin is one of few states to have a widespread index of records prior to establishment of a state vital records office. However, it is important to note that some records do exist at the county level and that these are not included in this statewide index. Taken from the index created by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Vital Records Division, this database lists only those counties indexed by the state of Wisconsin. The entries for Racine County are incomplete, and all counties following Racine in alphabetical order are not included in this index. Source Information: Ancestry.com.
