Would there be records of births in LaCrosse county? What type of records do they have there? I have been trying to find information on the Tschakert(Schackert/Shakert/etc.)family from Bohemia. They were living in LaCrosse or Onalaska sometime after 1867-1880. My husband's great grandmother Mary Tschakert was born in LaCrosse or just outside, also her brother Frank Joseph and possibly one more sister. Thier parents were Lawrence(Lorenz)and Theresia Tschakert. Also living with this family was Rosalie(Lorenz's mother)Tschakert. They were of Catholic religion. I have tried writing to LaCrosse Library and they could not find anything on the family. I have no idea what occupation Lawrence Tschakert was involved in while living there, but they moved on to Dakota's and he was a farmer there. Mary Tschakert was born in 1870 or 1871 and her brother Frank Joseph was born abt. 1868. Birth records are of utmost importance, but if there are any other records that may be housed where you are going that may pertain, I would be most interested. thanks for any help you can give, cindy
