Looking for information and/or descendants of the TWOMEY family that settled in Tomahawk, Lincoln, WI. My direct descendancy is through Timothy TWOMEY bn Mar 1842 in Ontario, Canada, d. 15 Dec 1921 in Tomahawk and Mary DONOVAN bn 19 Jun 1855 in Ontario, Canada, d. 22 Jun 1924 in Tomahawk. Their son, William, married Mathilda Draeger. They are my great grandparents. The parents of Timothy TWOMEY are Patrick TWOMEY and Mary COSTELLO. From what I have found recently, Timothy's brother, John TWOMEY, also went to Wisconsin and settled in Tomahawk. I believe that he married Elizabeth DONOVAN. I am also looking for information and/or descendants of the Carl DRAEGER family that settled in Merrill, Lincoln, WI. Carl was a brother to Mathilda DRAEGER TWOMEY. He married Anna SAEGER in 1886. Anna died in 1905. Carl died in 1936. Thank you for any help. Chris and Shannon Lehr

Posted on: Lincoln Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/Lincoln/203 Surname: Ashley ------------------------- There is a community-area named Ashley just north of the southern border of Marathon Co. Perhaps the name has ties to the Ashley family from back in the logging days.

Yes, I responded. Awaiting your reply Harry Doering

>I am not sure whether or not this family was Protestant but an Ida Leitzke >married Thomas Ryan of Canada at Merrill Presbyterian Church. He was a >railroad engineer. Ida Leitzke would be my husband's great aunt. Let me know >if you have any possible connection. > >Beth Raasch > Dear Beth, This is pretty much all I know and it isn't really enough to make any solid connections. My great grandfather, Ed Ryan, went to Merrill with his brother (name unknown). The whole family (their father, grandfather, uncles, etc.) were railroad people in Western NY. There were Canadian cousins but they would have been Catholic. Ed's parents were Jere Ryan (b. PA 1839) and Margaret A. Chamberlain. He married Olive Baldwin in 1885 in NY and moved to Merrill shortly thereafter. They had seven children, only three of whom survived childhood and only two of whom had registered births. Ed was supposedly "the first telegrapher in the west" but I think there's some confusion there as it doesn't seem to fit the dates. First telegraph dates from 1840s & 1850s and Ed wasn't born until 1859 and didn't make it to Merrill until 1885. Thomas is not among the names anyone has turned up for Ed's brothers. We have John, Mike & George but these are from a letter in which Ed's widow is trying to recall their names. There was a cousin Thomas Ryan but he stayed in NY. Anyway, Ed & his brother were supposed to be real carousers and were known for their prowess in and enjoyment of fist fights. Evidently they were legendary. Thank you for your info.

Hello All, I am back in school to get my New York teacher certification and one of the courses I'm taking requires me to do something to "expand my own literacy". Since the time my family spent in Wisconsin in the late 1800s has always intrigued me and I am resistant to writing fiction, I am planning to force myself to write some fiction in the form of a series of "letters home" from my great grand mother in Merrill to her mother and sister back on Long Island. Now, all indications are that the family had a tough time of it and that Olive Ryan, my gr grandmother never stopped considering herself a daughter of Long Island (where the family goes back to the 1600s). This is not a happy story but I want to avoid having Olive paint too bleak a picture of Merrill. Sharon has been good enough to send me a bunch of material on Merrill and Lincoln which I have been using for general background but Feedback from others interested in Lincoln Co. during that period would help keep me honest. It would also be interesting to include comments from listers in my final report on the project. Anyone who is interested in reading and commenting on my work can email me directly for details at either <[email protected]> or <[email protected]>. As always, I am looking for any info on PROTESTANT RYAN families in Lincoln Co between 1880 and 1920. Thank you all, Margaret

REMINDER! Please stop in the Wisconsin Genealogy Chat on Sunday night 9:00 p.m. EST (adjust for your time zone).

hello Listers, I had been wondering why my Henry Coster ended up in Wisconsin. knowing that most of the time, people travel to where there are family or friends. Yesterday, I found amidst all of my papers, the reason why. There is a Gilk connection. Are there any Gilk family members still in Lincoln County? Regards, Anne Marie

Posted on: Lincoln Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/Lincoln/202 Surname: Bloechl, Schober, Edbauer ------------------------- Looking for information for Leopold (B1808-1838) and Magdelena (Schober) Bloechl. They had 5 children: Joseph, Katherina, George, Alois (Aloyslus) and John (Johanne). Alois married Chrysanthea Edbauer in Lincoln Co. and John married Mary Ruprecht in Lincoln Co.

thanks to several wonderful volunteers, Betty Martz, Jean Klebenow, Kim Wright and Beth Raasch, I have placed a great deal of new information on my Marathon County and Lincoln County pages. I am still working on some of them, and have some of them only partially done, but eventually I will have the birth, death and marriage indexes online. I also have some Family History indexes up. One of the volunteers has inscriptions for many cemeteries in both counties, and this information can be found on the "lookups" page. I have only three more centennial books to index and get online. I also was given the 1890 census for Marathon County by township, and that is fully uploaded. I also will be getting back to the 1870 and 1880 census that I am doing, and have two people who volunteered to help me with them. (Thank Heavens!) It has been a busy summer thanks to the wonderful people who volunteer!
