    2. Thanks to all who responded to my plea for help. Once I found out what it was, I was prepared to go into UW to see if I could get there that way. But, upon advice of Shelley, I tried again today, and lo and behold, I was able to get it. Must have been just a temporary thing with my server. Thanks again. Meg Nelson

    2. Cindy Johnson
    3. Hello again everyone! I have some very exciting news for all! I have been asked to take over the Wisconsin history/genealogy site on the American Local History Network ( http://www.rootsquest.com/~amhisnet/index.html )!!! I am sooo excited to have a new pet project in the makings. Right now there are just a few links and historical articles on the site. I would like to take the chance now to invite everyone that can to donate some piece of historical or genealogical information to the site. This is the first site on the internet to combine history and genealogy together. We do not want to take away from Rootsweb what makes it special. We are trying to add to the resources that are already available. Please take the time to stop by the site and give it the once over and tell me what you think. And also, please stick to the copyright laws - do not want to step on ANY toes! Let me know what you can donate to make the site as special as my Wisconsin Family History Page is. Thanks!!!!

    1. [WILINCOL-L] TB Scott Library
    2. I wrote to the TB Scott Free Library to see if they had microfilms or books available for interlibrary loan. Their response was that no microfilms were available, but some books that are not reference books would be available. I was referred to a site http://wiscat.brodart.com/ where I could search Merrill and get a list of what was available. Unfortunately, I can't get that site. Would it be possible for someone to get it for me and send me a copy? My snail mail address is: Margaret Posey Nelson 772 El Nido Court El Dorado Hills, Ca. 95762

    1. Re: [WILINCOL-L] Lost in Tripoli, WI 1920-1930
    2. Cindy Johnson
    3. Yes, Tripoli is a very small town. When you come into it there is a small school for elementary children, a small store and , I think, a gas station. It has been awhile since I was there - 10 years. If and when you drive through it, do not blink, as this will cause you to miss it. There is a beautiful lake there. It has cabins around it for summertime vacationers. I do agree with Richard - check the courthouse in the county seat. They should have a plethera of information for you to check on.

    1. [WILINCOL-L] Lost in Tripoli, WI 1920-1930
    2. Hi All. I am searching for additional vital or otherwise information on the town of Tripoli, outside of Tomahawk in search of my ggrandfather John SMITH and wife Eliza. I checked: Census 1920, but they will not appear as they arrived 1921 in Tripoli. Not in phone Directories as they did not have a phone I was told their were no city directories for Tripoli 1920-1930 No church records or Bible records kept, At one point in time I did a diligent search for local Methodist Churches, with little success as I was told they were advid church goers. I wrote them all. Land records uncover nothing as the property was sold and they moved in the 1930's What might be availabe for the town of Tripoli? Any TIPS are appreciated! Help...lost in [email protected] [email protected] .

    1. [WILINCOL-L] Reid Family in Tomahawk, WI
    2. I would like to hear from members of the Reid family. My father was raised by his uncle Sid Reid who lived in Tomahawk in the 1940-70's. He moved around from WI to Colorado, and finally died in Las Cruces, NM. I have a postcard from him dated 1958 which shows a picture of a motel/motor court/coctail lounge called "The Bridge". On the back it says "This is Edna and Bob's place in Tomahawk". Does anyone recognize this place or this family? My father lost touch with them about 40 years ago. His mother was Maude Reid Smotherman Fendall. Please e-mail me. Valencia R. Smotherman [email protected]

I'm wondering if any of his descendents are doing family history. I would like to establish a link between our Bartenhagens. Here's what I know about Claus from his obituary in the 14 March 1916 (page 4) and 16 March 1916 (page 5) Merrill Daily Herald: b. April 27, 1838 in Germany; m. unknown date to Maria Schlichtman in Germany; d. 13 March 1916 in Merrill, Wisconsin. Living children (at the time): Henry Bartenhagen of Payette, Idaho; Mrs. F. Berlun (Bellin) of Nebraska; Mrs. Julius Pophal of Scott, Wisconsin; Mrs. Frank Schultz (Schult) of Scott, Wisconsin; Mrs. Carl Lotholz (Lodholz) of Wausau; and Mrs. Closs Ritter (Ruether) of Maine, Wisconsin. I have been in contact with a descendent of Henry Bartenhagen in Wyoming; the names in brackets, i.e. (Ruether) are from that family tree information. I would like to know the names of Claus Bartenhagen's ancestors and where in Germany they came from. I would also be happy to visit with any descendents of Claus and share the family tree information I have from the Wyoming/Idaho line.
