I don't know if that is the correct John Horman If you look in the 1920 census you will find another John 7 months old with different parents. Bart and Mary L. That child is 7 months old, census was taken in January. I didn't find the article or obit yet but I did find an article in the Sheboygan Press dated Sept. 22 1943 that lists Casualties in the European area. Included was John R. Homan father Frank P. Homan, Milwaukee In the 1930 census there is Frank Homan age 44 in Milwaukee, wife Margaret, but no children are listed. Looks like there were a lot of John Homans.

Greetings fellow listers, I am looking for assistance in finding an obituary for: 2lt John R Homan, USAAF WWII, who was killed when his B-17 went down in the North Sea on 19 August 1943. His body was never recovered. He is listed on the web site that lists casualties from Wisconsin (the name escapes me at the moment, but I think it is Milwaukee links to the past). I believe he was born in the Menasha area possibly in 1919. I am looking for leads to who his birth parents are. Does he have siblings, etc. Menasha city directory listings from 1941-1944 of any HOMAN's would be helpful too. His name is listed on the memorial for the missing of WWII in Holland. Any help is appreciated. Happy New Year David R. Homan Email: drhomanjr@aol.com

Here on the WiMilwau list apparently the only way to successfully deliver a message is to just keep repeating it. So below is a duplicate of some Milwaukee orphanage info I posted over a year ago (in turn, a repeat of much older posted info from me.) St. Aemillian-Lakeside, Inc. (http://www.st-al.org/history.htm) at 8901 W. Capitol Drive in Milwaukee has told me that almost all records on Milwaukee orphans since the 1840s is at their campus and/or the adjoining St. Rose campus. I'm unclear on their policies on sharing this info. But why so few WiMilwau listers apparently seem interested in all this remains a mystery to me .................John (in metro Chicago) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Subject: Re: Milwaukee orphanages since 1848 Date: 12/8/2005 4:15:08 A.M. Central Standard Time From: JQMagie@aol.com To: JanThatcher@charter.net, WIMILWAU-L@rootsweb.com Many thanks for your note below, Janet. Actually I've been somewhat surprised that, as far as I know, no one else has expressed any interest in my WiMilwau posting of Dec. 2 on Milwaukee orphanages, plus my follow-up posting of Dec. 5. In an old scrapbook begun in the late 1840s by my Milwaukee great-great-grandmother Sarah Ann Eldred (nee Higby), 1802-1879, there are many ancient Milwaukee newspaper clippings on her helping organize the Milwaukee Protestant Orphan Asylum in 1849 and on the subsequent substantial volunteer involvement in that institution by both her and her children. Sarah and her husband, Elisha Eldred, 1796-1860, a leading early Milwaukee real estate and railroad developer, had moved to Milwaukee in 1842 from the Cooperstown, NY, area. I TOO became curious about what had happened to the above orphanage, plus St. Aemillian and St. Rose (both originally Roman Catholic), and I was surprised to find that all three continue to exist OVER 150 YEARS LATER-- even though their mission today is essentially no longer the custodial care of orphans (now mostly in foster homes). St. Aemillian was actually located south of Milwaukee (in St. Francis, WI) from 1854 to 1930-- and presumably several other Milwaukee County localities had separate orphan homes. I suggest you first check out the helpful website of St. Aemillian-Lakeside (http://www.st-al.org), including the list of staff, and then call them at 800-840-1880 or 414-463-1880. I haven't yet visited their main campus at 8901 West Capitol Drive in Milwaukee, and I just noticed that they maintain branch facilities at Racine, Waukesha, West Bend, and Sheboygan-- all outside of Milwaukee County ......John __________________________________________________ -----Original message----- On 12/7/05, at 11:26:49 PM CST, JanThatcher@charter.net writes I noticed the following posting on the Milwaukee Rootsweb list. .....Your post was incredibly important to me because I did not know what happened to this institution. It looks like it was renamed Lakeside Children's Center in 1943 and then merged with St. Aemilian-Lakeside.

Central Standard Time From: JQMagie@aol.com To: WIMILWAU-L@rootsweb.com St. Aemilian-Lakeside, Inc. There are probably many people who know more about all this than I do, but I feel confident that almost all Milwaukee area BOYS in orphanages since the late 1840s were tied to what is now known as St. Aemilian-Lakeside-- a 1989 merger of two large institutions, one Catholic and one Protestant. Also, my guess is that most Milwaukee area GIRLS in orphanages since 1848 were tied to what is now St. Rose Youth & Family Center-- now an independent, nonsectarian, nonprofit organization that was formerly tied to the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese and known in the 19th century as St Rose Orphan Asylum. But maybe there have been other Milwaukee female orphanages over the years, including possibly St. Vincent.

In the 1890s and for many years thereafter, St. Rose was located at the NW corner of North and Lake Drive, just east the Milwaukee Protestant Orphan Asylum (renamed Lakeside Children's Center in 1943). Meanwhile, from 1854-1930, St. Aemillian was located South of Milwaukee on the big extant lakeside campus of St. Francis Seminary ......John >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Subj: Milwaukee orphanages since 1849 Date: 12/2/2005 7:27:35 A.M.

St. Aemilian-Lakeside, Inc, of Milwaukee, to which my Eldred and Magie ancestors supported, especially in its early years, in extensive volunteer labor and substantial financial assistance, apparently remains an incredibly important repository of Milwaukee orphanage records since 1849. http://www.st-al.org St. Aemilian-Lakeside, Inc. 8901 West Capitol Drive, Milwaukee, WI 53222 (414) 463-1880 or (800) 840-1880 (414) 463-2770 fax The Milwaukee Protestant Orphan Asylum that my family helped organize in 1849 was formerly in a large 1887 building at the NE corner of Prospect and North avenues in Milwaukee. In 1943, as foster care became more important, it was renamed "Lakeside Children's Center." St. Aemilian's Orphan Asylum had been founded by Milwaukee's Roman Catholic Archdiocese in 1850. And the two large and ancient institutions formally merged on January 1, 1989, as ST. AEMILIAN-LAKESIDE, INC-- a private, not-for-profit, non-sectarian, residential treatment center for boys. I'm not clear on this-- but I think that, while the emphasis over the years at both institutions has been on boys, this may no longer be true. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Subj: Re: [WIMILWAU] Help Date: 12/30/2006 5:31:16 P.M.

Ken, Because they are minors there aren't many places their names would show up between censuses, even if they had parents. Perhaps they lived with another relative of their father's? An Aunt perhaps? Or maybe a relative of the mother? When he joined the navy did it give a next of Kin on his papers? Or perhaps a residence address. You may be able to cross reference that information with the address of who they was living with assuming they were together. I have a list of orphanages on my site. It is an early list, some of them were still in existance in 1910, but I don't have a current list to help you for the 1910 time period. http://linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/mkebenev.html Good Luck in your search.

http://www.htrnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006612290501 This link leads to a story about the Bubolz farm in Reedsville, WI (Manitowoc County). I am proud to note that the 25-year-old Mike Bubolz mentioned in this story is my former student employee (and still a friend). I encouraged Mike to get involved in genealogy and he has been the Bubolz historian ever since. He produces a periodic newsletter for his family (I haven't even managed to do that yet, and I'm a desktop publisher!). Anyway, for those with an interest in eastern Wisconsin, or an interest in family farms, you might want to check out the above link while it's still active. I think it's important to find younger genealogists when we can, and to encourage them to adopt genealogy as an avocation. mrf

Re: Waukesha Freeman Judy found the answer some time ago, I thought she had posted it to the list. Maybe she posted it to the Waukesha List. Here is what she said: "After chasing my tail for awhile and trying to find a phone number for ancestry (which is actually kind of hard to do). Talked to a guy in technical support. He said ancestry doesn't own the newspaper information. They only lease it from the newspapers. So the old Waukesha Co newspapers (whoever owns them) has the say on what goes to ancestry. They can add or take away at any time." After I recevied this from Judy, I contacted the Waukesha Freeman to see who I would talk to about getting the information back online. I never received an answer. Ellen- www.LinksToThePast.com *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 12/29/2006 at 9:03 AM Mary R. Frank wrote: >The Milwaukee directory is still there.

The Milwaukee directory is still there. Click "Search," then click on the Wisconsin map, and then look under "Wisconsin Directories and Membership Lists." As for the Freeman, this is what I found for the years they have: Waukesha Daily Freeman newspaper was located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. This database is a fully searchable text version of the newspaper for the following years: 1882, 1937, and 1945-55. If they had more than this in the past, I wonder if they purchase this from another source and the other source changed? Lenora, did you ever email Ancestry to find out what happened?

You can check out their website at: www.dodgejeffgen.com To send an email with a question djcgs@dodgejeffgen.com If they have info for you, there is a small fee if you're not a member. They've been very helpful to me in the past. Hope this helps.

You are welcome. First guy listed under 1878 was a clerk. I forgot the "k" and just put "cl." But I still don't know what they meant by "bds." It was common enough to be listed in the table of abbreviations at the front of the book. Anybody else have any idea what they might have meant by "boards"? mrf JAMES BOETTCHER wrote: > Thank you Mary for all your work. This answers mulitple questions. Pat > > "Mary R.

Terrie is the last word on one line and Lois is the first word on the next line.] mrf sandisgifts70665@peoplepc.com wrote: > Could I get a obit. lookup for a John B Davis, born abt. 1918 Oklahoma , > died Dec. 2 1974 in Milw.
