Experts from the Netherlands and the U.S. will work side-by-side with local historical groups and historians to present a picture of the vibrant Dutch-American culture which thrives in Wisconsin. These experts will include Dr. Robert Swierenga and Dr. Elton Bruins, Research Professors at the Van Raalte Institute, Hope College, Holland, MI; Dr. Hans Krabbendam, Assistant Director of the Roosevelt Study Center, Middleburg, Netherlands; Dr. James Schaap, English Professor, Dordt College, Sioux Center, IA and Yvette Hoitink, Project Manager at the National Archives, The Hague, Netherlands. These researchers will be joined by others who will discuss Dutch immigration history, the various settlements throughout Wisconsin, differences and similarities between the Dutch Catholics and Dutch Protestants, the! Dutch language as it exists in Wisconsin and Dutch-American authors discussing their influences and publications. Participants will be able to envision what it was like to live in the Netherlands prior to emigrating. They will understand the fear of a new world and a different language, but also the stories of strength and success as the new immigrants settled in Wisconsin and formed new communities. Conference sessions will be held at The Bull at Pinehurst Farms in Sheboygan Falls, WI. The third day will consist of a Genealogy Contact Day, where organizations and individuals from around the state will showcase their resources and research. Genealogy workshops ranging from reading Dutch documents to internet resources available worldwide will be offered. There will also be historical bus tours throughout Sheboygan County highlighting points of interest including cemeteries, churches and early settlements.

You might want to look at the La Crosse Public Library site. They have a genealogy section which will allow you to enter your family names that will bring up obits, marriages etc. You can get a copy of the record for only $1.00 and a stamped self address envelope. They will do 50 at a time! Hope this helps. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

I am looking for information on some of the children of Catherine and Christopher GANNON, who came to La Crosse County between 1850-1860. They first settled in Wauwatosa, near Milwaukee, when they came from Ireland in 1849. By the 1860 census, they were in La Crosse County, where they stayed from then on. Their "missing" children are: Owen GANNON (b abt 1813) and his wife Mary Peter GANNON (b abt 1832) Bridgit GANNON (b abt 1837) John GANNON (b abt 1838) Elizabeth GANNON (b abt 1844) These (adult) children all disappeared after 1850, except Peter, who disappeared after 1860. I assume Bridgit and Elizabeth married or became nuns (if they did not die of something), but have no way to know their married or "nun" names. There are Owen, Peter, and John Gannons elsewhere in the later censuses, and in Civil War records, but I have no way to tie them to my family. The siblings I do know more about are Luke GANNON (married Mary McCORMICK and stayed in La Crosse), Julia GANNON (married Matthew NEWMAN in Ireland, then died shortly after coming to America), Patrick GANNON (married his brother's wife's sister Anne McCORMICK and stayed in La Crosse), Lawrence GANNON (married Kate Hannegan and lived in Howard Co, Iowa), and Catherine "Kate" GANNON (married Nicholas GRAF, stayed in La Crosse a while, then moved to Howard Co, IA). Hopefully someone knows some of these missing people. I will share what I have with anyone who thinks we are related.

The name Kirking was changed from Kirkeng and perhaps Kirkeeng during the early 1900's. Most Kirkings in the U.S. are descended from the Kirkengs or Kirkeengs of that region of Norway. I am just beginning what I know will be a deep dive into murky waters in trying to construct the family tree. Family oral history tells that further back, the Kirkeng/Kirkeeng family had its roots in Northern Scotland. I hope to be able to trace our lineage back that far if possible. - Kevin Kirking kevin@bronzewest.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Elissa, I have transcribed all of the biographies in the 1881 History of La Crosse County, as well as the full-book index at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilacgs/ Click on "Research Resources", then "La Crosse County", then "Name Index to "The History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin," 1881". The book has been scanned and posted at: http://murphylibrary.uwlax.edu/digital/lacrosse/laxhist1881/0002000B.htm so once you find which page(s) you want to look at, it's right there for you.

I have been trying to get my Mueller's back to Germany but have had many problems due to their common first and surnames... so I am now trying to find more information about them by searching for the families they married into in hopes that they married people from the same origins in Germany. It may be a long shot, but here goes: Adam Kroner (born approx 1848) married Minna Mueller Anton Hacker (born approx 1846) married Anna Hirth (also his siblings Franz Hacker (married?), Carolina Hacker (married?) and Catharina who married John Beddessem) Anna Keppel (born 1832) married Wenzel Netwel (her possible brother Johann Gottlieb Keppel who married a Maria Schwab) and lastly Frederich Sprehn/Sprain (born 1825) and married a different Mueller, but I believe a related family, this family's patriarch is: Adam Mueller (born 1804) who married an Elizabeth - I am trying to difinitively link him as a brother to my Johan/John Mueller and Juliane Schneider/Snyder... The Mueller family was one of the original settlers to the Barre Mills area and married a lot of similar original settlers. A lot of these people came from the Hesse Darmstadt area and I am hoping that by tracing these more uncommon surnames I will find my people. I would appreciate any help! Also, does anyone happen to have copies of the Biographical Histories of La Crosse county (one was published in 1892 and another in 1881) as I am trying to see if entries in them may help me.

Another large group came from Bohemia and settled in Bostwick Valley. Is this also Barre Mills? My ancestress is Eleanora Mueller, daughter of August, and married to Wenzel Hoetzel. They are identified as coming from Austria, and one census states that they came from Bohemia. Their daughter, Mary, married a descendant of Bohemian families settled in Bostwick Valley. While having NO scientific or other credible proof of this, Wenzel may be a name common in Bohemia because all my Wenzels are from Bohemia. I have German ancestors from the Rhineland and from Darmstadt, Hessen, and I am trying to think of a Wenzel among them. I have no good method for this, but sometimes I have this sense by first names and last names as to which families come from Germany and which from Austria. I am sure these theories of mine could be debunked easily, but it is worth looking into the Bohemian group.
