Hello Everyone, Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Are you ready for some relaxing and productive days in front of the computer, hunting for those ancestors? November and December brought many additions to our site, so stop on by with a mug of hot cider and stay awhile. Here's what's new: Cemeteries: Added Paulina Schachenwald Schwanke's obit to the Newton Township cemetery file and tombstone photos. Census: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarque/cenplacesm.html The 1860 Springfield township census is now available, my big project for the site for the past couple of months. County History Biographies: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarque/cohist.html CONTRIBUTOR Suzanne Folk sent three more county history biographies: Alexander Paterick, Ansel Shaler and Chandler Wheelock. I typed two more of the biographies, for Henry Hubbard Eaton and Chase Sargent. I would welcome more help (yours!) with this typing project, if you can contribute your ancestor's biography from the 1890 Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara County History or would be willing to type a few pages snail-mailed to you, please contact Joan. Historical Markers: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarque/histmkrs.html NEW CONTRIBUTOR Roberta Johnson sent a photo and text of the Russell Flats historical marker. Newspaper Articles: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarque/marqnews.html CONTRIBUTOR Phylis has been creating quite a gift for all of us, combing through multiple years of the Montello Express newspapers and typing the local news items. You'll find everything from township election results, house fires and jury lists to births, deaths and marriages. CONTRIBUTOR Lois H. sent some local news items gleaned from a 1906 Montello Express. I typed and added these three newspaper articles: a jury list from 1922, the 35 persons received into membership at the Westfield Presbyterian Church in 1922 and the 1923 Westfield High School Honor Roll. Photo Album: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarque/phoalbumm.html Added a photo of the Christof Schrank family to the phtoo album, sent by NEW CONTRIBUTOR Fredrick Schrank. Thank you to our contributors and volunteers, and Happy New Year to all, Joan Coordinator Adams Co. WIGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiadams/adams.htm and Marquette Co.
