Now when you are faced with this situation, there is an easy way to solve the problem. Simply type in the town's name and a list with links to the states/counties in which there is such a place will appear. Shelley

Dear Historians, Is there, or was there ever, a Seventh Day Baptist in Merrill, or near Merrill, Lincoln Co., WI Thank you, Linda a

Hi I had a wonderful lady who was entering the obits from my local newspaper in the GenConnect system for me. Notice the word "HAD"! She can no longer help, and I was hoping someone out there who loves to type, and has lots of spare time could volunteer to take over her job -- or even several someones! If there is someone out there who could help, please let me know. Shelley Green [email protected]

Hi I have recently completed a new addition to the Lincoln County Wis. main page. It is a link to the page that has the names of the veterans of the Civil War from the 1890 Special census. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol">Lincoln County Wisconsin WiGenWeb </A> Mary Saggio sent me the copy of the census for the page, and I thank her for it!

--part1_69789282.24565248_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I don't know if this is true, but it makes sense to me! << Just thought you would appreciate this interesting historical info about Life in the 1500's: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the b.o. Baths equalled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually loose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water". Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets... dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs," There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big 4 poster beds with canopies. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor". The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold". They cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes... for 400 years. Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers - a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trencher were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust". Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake". England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and re-use the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer". >> --part1_69789282.24565248_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <[email protected]> Received: from rly-zd03.mx.aol.com (rly-zd03.mail.aol.com [172.31.33.227]) by air-zd02.mail.aol.com (v59.4) with SMTP; Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:30:38 -0400 Received: from relay.langley.af.mil (relay.langley.af.mil [131.6.84.71]) by rly-zd03.mx.aol.com (8.8.8/8.8.5/AOL-4.0.0) with ESMTP id LAA19983; Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:30:02 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lfi-ms-ims.langley.af.mil (lfi-ms-ims.langley.af.mil [131.6.116.21]) by relay.langley.af.mil (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA28703; Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:29:58 -0400 Received: by lfi-ms-ims.langley.af.mil with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id <JJT9WW24>; Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:29:52 -0400 Message-ID: <[email protected].mil> From: Johnson Pamela J Maj ACC/IGIX <[email protected]> To: "'JBOWMAN'" <[email protected]>, "'JMUMM'" <[email protected]>, "'LFOWLER'" <[email protected]>, "'LPULASKI'" <[email protected]>, Morgan MaryDarlene Maj 5 SVS/CC <[email protected]>, Duncan Marc B LtCol 42ACCS/ADO <[email protected]>, "'PJVASQUEZ'" <[email protected]>, "'RRAMBERG'" <[email protected]>, "'SGREEN'" <[email protected]> Subject: FW: Life in the 1500's Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:29:47 -0400 Return-Receipt-To: Johnson Pamela J Maj ACC/IGIX <[email protected]> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Reply-To: [email protected] Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just thought you would appreciate this interesting historical info about Life in the 1500's: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June.

Hi everyone -- first of all I want to say that I will be gone from March 20 thru the 28th. We are going by amtrak to New Orleans -- unfortunately The City of New Orleans is the train we were taking back from there! I don't know what is going to happen with that - but my excitement about the trip is diminished now. I have been working on learning how to upload files to the Archive system. This system is for files that will be "owned" by the internet. The way I understand it, is that the information I have on my page is owned by me. If someone takes over the page, he can delete anything he wants. If the information is in the archive system, no one can delete it. T o access this information, there is a USGenWEb archive, a Wisconsin Archive and now a Lincoln and Marathon County archive. ( of course there are all the other states and counties!) The most recent one I uploaded was an index that I did from a book sent to me by Bob Stephan about the Presbyterian Church of Abbotsford. There is also the list of Marathon County postoffices ( which I have on the Marathon County page too) and some cemetery information is on both county archives. This was sent to me by Duane DeVoe. I will list the URL's - if you access the county pages, go to the Lincoln or Marathon County Archives and click. To reach the Table of Contents directly, go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/marathon/marathon.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/lincoln/lincoln.htm For the county main pages: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/ <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol">Lincoln County Wisconsin WiGenWeb </A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/">Marathon County Wisconsin Genealogy Wigenweb</A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/marathon/marathon.htm">USGenWeb Marathon County, WI Table of Contents</A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/lincoln/lincoln.htm">USGenWeb Lincoln County WI Table of Contents</A> I hope I did that right! But this system seems to be working, and more and more information is being put out there. check the Wisconsin archives, and the Usgenweb archives -- lots of stuff! And if you have any to send me, please do so. It should be in text form if possible. I'll do it when I get back! Shelley

Angel, please write to Sharon Karow about your request. [email protected] thanks, Shelley

Hello everyone! http://www.usgennet.org/~alhnwius/WI_index.html Just wanted to let you know that I have added a few more links on the WI State Topics page. And, the new sites from now on will be marked with a red asterisk to make it easier for everyone to find them. I have also added a few sites on a few county pages. These new sites will be marked with the words NEW SITE!!! in red also. New to the Adams Co. site is the Adams Co. Historical Society site. I urge you to check this site out as it is a great site with lots of local information to be seen. And if you have any links that you would like to add to the site, please email with the information. If you have a personal or genealogical web site that deals with Wisconsin, you can also have a link added to the ALHN WI site. (Linda - I know you want your site on there!) :) There is also a new link on the Oneida and Vilas Co sites for look ups that are offered by a volunteer. If you can offer to do look ups and would like me to create a page with your information on it, please let me know. I will be more than happy to work with you on something. Whether you charge for your help or not, is up to you. I would just like to give folks you need help in Wisconsin a few places that they can count on getting some correct information through. Our ALHN WI page is nearing 5000 visits! Yipee!!! Not too long ago we were only at 4000. I have also included a new webtracker on the main pages of the ALHN WI site. This way I can keep track of what the most popular pages are and where people are coming from. This tracker will even tell me what country visitors are from. I want to thank everyone that has taken the time to visit the site. It wouldn't be there if it weren't for all you wonderful Wisconsinites and your ancestors!!! Please take a few minutes to check out our updates at the American Local History Network - Wisconsin site. -- Cindy Johnson :0) NEW SITE!

I have been posting obits from the Wausau Daily Herald to the Lincoln County obits page, and have a wonderful lady from Tenn. who is posting the Marathon County obits for me. also, I do some posting of Lincoln County biographies from the History of L.C. book. and thanks to Gerry Dalum who sent me lots of old obits--I am scanning them into the Marathon County pages! If any of you have any obits, or bios to add to these pages, please do so! the names are automatically sent to the archives so anyone down the road can access them, and it has proven to be a wonderful gen. resource. SO ENTER ALREADY! Use the Genconnect system. Thanks Shelley <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol">Lincoln County Wisconsin WiGenWeb </A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/">Marathon County Wisconsin Genealogy Wigenweb</A>

I have put a link to the online page of the Tomahawk Leader on my Lincoln County web page. The newspaper provides a section that accepts messages, so if any of you are looking for people of that area, this is a good place to post! It allows people with ties to the area to keep up with what is happening! There will be a major update of the site hopefully by the end of March. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol/ <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol">Lincoln County Wisconsin WiGenWeb </A> Shelley Green Marathon County WI: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/ Lincoln County WI: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol/ Personal Web Page: http://members.aol.com/sdgreen715/index.html Mailing Lists: Wimarath-l and [email protected]
