After just now looking at the 12/27/06 Mary Frank post (below), I wonder whether my 12/21/06 posted response to PAT (also below-- to obmijtap@sbcglobal.net) had gotten somewhat lost in the shuffle, very likely because I had changed the subject line on 12/21/06-- to give my response more specificity. I've complained to Ancestry.com several times about this, but Ancestry still does not provide a single online 19th century directory for Chicago (America's second most populous city in 1890), unlike New York City, Philadelphia, and even then tiny Los Angeles, all represented by several directories-- and also unlike Milwaukee, represented by both the 1889-1990 directory (http://ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4749) and the fine Milwaukee Elite Directory for 1891 (http://ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=5259). One thing I noticed several months ago that you can do via Ancestry.com's two-year Milwaukee directory database 1889-90 is that, once you've received the address of one person your interested in, you can then find the names of all others (or at least all adult males) living at that same address by going back, clearing the boxes, and adding only the address under "KEY WORD(S)" (possibly no surprise to many researchers) .............John (in metro Chicago) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Subj: Re: [WIMILWAU] Question Date: 12/27/2006 11:21:52 A.M.

I saw this on another list and tried it out. Use the link below to go to the ancestry site. When you get to the ancestry page, click on the second red box that reads something like "begin today". It will take you to a page to build your family tree. I'm not big on online trees - I just put in a name and then clicked next through the next several tree building pages until it said congratulations you've built your tree. Then went to the top of the page and started searching. (Thought I'd mention that).

I am looking for a list of orphanges that were operating in Milwaukee in the 1910 period. My father, Frederick Wilhelm, and his younger brother Roland, ages 10 and 7 were sent to an orphanage after their fathers' death in May of 1910. As the story goes their stay was as brief as possible since they were not happy there and thay ran away. I have searched census records to no avail, perhaps the count was completed before their attendance, and am certain they were gone before the next census. Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Ken Wilhelm Pinehurst, NC

Ken, I found a Fred Age 10 and a Roland age 6 in the 1910 census living in Milwaukee. They are listed as Sons of John age 39 and Lena age 34. There is another sibling in the household, a sister Norma age 13. The census was taken April 27, so prior to the death of the father. They are listed in Ward 3. I will send you the census image privately. Hope that helps!

You might want to be sure to check under other spellings....I have found TWO people listed, but it was harder because their names were spelled wrong.....

Wendy--since writing you on Saturday, I too (along with Ellen) was thinking that in addition to checking Wood National Cemetery burials (which apparently do not include Daniel Boyle), you should contact the adjoining historic old Soldiers Home of Milwaukee (also formerly NW Home DVS ), now known as Zablocki VA Center. Their records might well show that your guy Daniel died there in, say, 1905-- but was perhaps buried with his wife Margaret (who reportedly predeceased him), elsewhere in Wisconsin-- maybe Marquette Co.? For what this is worth, my understanding is that the old Soldiers Home, first opened just after the Civil War, is situated (very attractively) on an very erosion resistant outcropping of a tropical, 440 million year old Silurian reef. It would seem fortunate that your Daniel Boyle, a naturalized widower, is clearly listed in the 1900 census at the old Soldiers Home-- revealing a birth date of Aug 1835 (age 64) in Ireland + an immigration date of 1860. (Maybe he's "absent" when the census taker arrived because he was getting his beard trimmed.) Presumably all this census data ties in fine with other info you have on him.

Wendy, Since your request I have been trying to figure out an answer. As I haven't found any specific information on your person, I will give you some general information on the home. My notes, although I haven't called the Veterans Administration to find out about this directly, says that you simply have to call or write to get information about the residents of the home. I also have written down that this sounds fishy since most military medical records are "sealed" and only proven family members have access to the records. With that said, the address to the VA is: Department of Veterans Affairs VA Medical Center 5000 West National Ave Milwaukee, WI 53295 (414) 384-2000 toll free: (800) 827-1000. The Northwest Home for Disabled Volunteer Soliders is also known as Wood National Home. Many residents of the home are buried in Wood National Cemetery. I looked him up for you and I don't see him buried in the National Cemetery. The homes were run in military fashion and men could admit themselves to the home voluntarily and could request a discharge at any time. Only soldiers were admited. No care was given to the Wisconsin families of the soldiers until 1887 when a home was opened in Waupaca, Wis. to accomodate widows and families. I would take the "absent" to mean that at the time of the census Daniel had checked himself out of the home temporarily. Maybe spending time at home with the family because he was feeling better, or perhaps he had a family function to attend. I have some information on the home's history here: http://linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/soldiershome.html As far as a death certificate, there are two indexes available for Milwaukee county. The statewide register which is available as a database on the Wisconsin Historical Society Website and the County. I have found that sometimes people are recorded in one but not the other. I am not sure about the records of Jefferson county. It could be one of those missing in action certificates. Deaths were not always recorded where they happened, but in the county of residence of the individual. Could be he died in Jefferson County and his residence was the home, so they didn't know what to do with it! If you can't find official birth certificates you may want to check the church where they may have belonged. Perhaps there is a baptismal record or something else that would indicate the birth. Margaret is listed as being born in Mass. Do you know when she moved out this way? Could any of the marriage records or birth records be out where she is from? I don't know if he is your Daniel, but there is a Daniel J. Boyle in Milwaukee in 1890 His occupation was Collector and two addresses are listed. Location 1: 17 Iron block Location 2: 504 Cass. Hope that gives you some more clues. Good Luck in your search!

CST From: wdanderson2@peoplepc.com Reply-to: wimilwau@rootsweb.com To: wimilwau@rootsweb.com I decided to repost this request as I felt that the original may have been lost in the "Bicker Fest" that has recently been occurring on the Milwaukee list.... Sorry to be redundant, for those who saw but could offer no help, and those that had no part of what was going on.....Wendy **I need a little help. Does anyone know how to access records for a person who was in this home? (Northwest Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers) My husbands gg grandfather Daniel Boyle is listed in the 1900 census at the home. The census then goes on to state that he is "absent". I can not find a death record/burial for him but believe he died Nov 5, 1905. I was hoping that maybe records still existed for men at the home. I am having quite the time with this family. Daniel Boyle married Margaret White Oct 1865 in Watertown Jefferson, Wisconsin. I can not find a marriage record. They appear on the 1860 - 1880 census as living in Douglas, Marquette, Wisconsin. During that time they had at least 7 children, Mary -15 Oct 1866, John William 16 Nov 1868, Tressie 1870, Julia 1874, Maggie 1877 & Eugene 15 Jan 1880. But.... I can find NO birth, death or marriage records for anyone in the family. I have no idea who Daniels parents are. He was born in Ireland. Hence the hope of a marriage record for Daniel & Margaret. >From what I can piece together from pension records Daniel had an accident with a streetcar May 30 1893 in Milwaukee. I have no idea if he was living in the home at that time or perhaps in Milwaukee. I do know that by Oct 1893 he was living in Briggsville, Marquette, Wisconsin. So I think that he was probably just in Milwaukee for another reason. Just a guess. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I agree that it does take a lot of time to help others & that the photos & items do belong with the proper families instead in some archives, where even the proper families would have a hard time finding them... I'm sure that most people that receive the photos from Shelley are the proper families & are very grateful to her for finding them....she should actually be given a finders fee for them.... But SHE doesn't ask for anything!!!! (postage should ALWAYS be paid by the recipient). YES, there are some dishonest people out there that do seem to betray our trust, but most people would only want the items if they were researching ther family.... We must have Faith in mankind & hope that Shelley's kindness is not abused..... There are MANY of us out here that help strangers every day...... Why would anyone even think of questioning WHY we do it???? HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL Faith in Milwaukee

On my website, I have a section called Lost Memories. What I put on that page is photos of family photos that are unidentified. Based on the fact they were taken by a Milwaukee Photographer they have a Milwaukee connection. I am hoping some day someone will come across that page and say hey! I have a picture like that and the families will be identified. With that said, if anyone has any photos they would like to add to that section, feel free to email me privately. If I get enough of them I will change the section to a photo gallery for easier viewing. Here is the Milwaukee page: http://www.linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/mklostmemories.html and the Waukesha: http://www.linkstothepast.com/waukesha/lostmemories.html and my counterpart in Manitowoc has one as well: http://www.2manitowoc.com/whorthey.html She was able to make a match very recently so yes, it is of value to share photos Ellen- www.LinkToThePast.com *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 12/23/2006 at 6:34 PM JJones0001@aol.com wrote: >Pam: > > What a wonderful story.

Pam: What a wonderful story. I too am happy there are people like Shelley who will take the time to capture these wonderful old pictures. June of Ca.

Wendy, Did you check any church records for Watertown? http://library.uww.edu/COLLECTN/ChurchCemeteryRec.htm Here is another page with information about the Area Research Center that includes Jefferson County. There is email contact information at the bottom. They "might" be willing to look for you, or they may do this for a fee--you could email them. The films they have would be the same ones as held by the library in Utah--if you have a Family Research Center nearby, you could get the films themselves, but they'd be identifed with a number. You can go to www.familysearch.org and look through their catalog to find the information they have on Watertown records--did you do that yet? 1865 is about the time they "started" to keep the official records--you'd probaby have better luck with the church records. mrf Quoting wdanderson2@peoplepc.com: **I need a little help.

Regarding old photos....... I too am in that same predicament. My mother told me of a beautiful photo album of her mother's that had wedding photos etc. My mother was raised by her grandmother, after her mother went ill. My mother's grandmother died and gave the albums to her sister, (my mother's great aunt). The great aunt has long been deceased and her daughters are in their 70's. I am guessing someone has the "Tacke/Hottinger/Willemsen" photo album in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I too would love to find these treasures or see if someone gave them to a local library. I have checked the local historical center for pictures and nothing. My great grandmother's name: May WILLEMSEN - married to TACKE, then divorced and remarried to JUERGENS May had a son: Edward TACKE - married Clare HOTTINGER. May's sister to whom the albums went to: Lillian WILLEMSEN - who married Clarence ARMSTRONG If anyone has any connection, information, photos, I would love to scan them in and correspond with you. Thanks, Laura
