Surnames: KRAFT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0EC.2ACE/624.1 Message Board Post: There is a Gottlieb and Willameina Kraft that can be found in the 1910 Census for the town of Merrill, page 3B. He looks to be about 69 years of age and she is is 65. They've been married for 44 years and it looks she had 9 children of which 8 are living. Their is a daughter Marguerite also living with them. She is age 22. Looks like they immigrated in 1888 and are not yet naturalized. Marguerite must have been a newborn since she was born abt 1888 also and the Census indicates she was born in Germany. He is a farmer not a tailor though. Hope this helps. There is also a Gustav Kraft located in Merrill that probably is a son.

I got this letter, which I am forwarding to the list in hopes that someone can help Ric. Please answer him directly. [email protected] (that is l-r ) Date: 12/28/01 4:37:33 PM Central Standard Time From: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> my name is Richard (Ric) A. Berglund, I'm a high school science and math teacher for gifted students in New Mexico. All my roots go back to Lincoln and Oneida counties 1880 - 1939. Both of my parents came from these counties. I was born in Wausau in 1939. My great grand parents, Martha V. Radzinski and John J. Radzinski owned the "Coffie Pot Dance Hall and Tavern", I think around 1935. I though this was good, but am getting hints of a "Off Limits" place to family, I am dying to find out what this means. My fathers brother, Malcus O. Berglund, age 9 drowned in Bundy Lake on August 16, 1906 or 1907??? ( I can't find the name of this lake {maybe Pine lake} on my maps). My father and his brother and sisters, Malcus & Bror born in Sweden) Harry, Roy Caby Carl, Karl (Carl my father) and Amberg Maria Berglund were born in County of Lincoln, Township of Harrison, Village of Bundy, I think now know today as Jeffries or Jeffris. Just found out today, Amberg Maria Berglund taught school in Boulder Junction (do you know where that is?) She had two children but died at the age of 27??? Most of my ancestors are burried in the Forest Home Cemetery in Rhinelander,(I think), would you know of someone i could contact for some inforamation on this cemetery? Ric
