Would anyone on the list know if there is a Lutheran Church at 533 12th St., Milwaukee? This would be in the late 1890's. Thanks in advance, Wendy

What you really want to access is this book: Title: Wright's street guide supplement, Milwaukee city directory, 1930 [microform] Publication: Milwaukee, Wright Directory Co., 1931. Description: Book 1 v. ill. This book gives not only the name changes of the streets, but the actual house number changes. This book is available on microfilm, though I'm not sure the film is available via loan. There are also paper copies of this book located at various libraries. The Golda Meir Library has the film copy in their microforms room and a paper copy available in the American Geographical Society Library at http://www.uwm.edu/Libraries/AGSL/ I don't know if they would look up an address for you via email or not, but they might. Also, the Frank Zeidler Room at the Central Milwaukee Library downtown should have a copy of this book. http://www.mpl.org/File/branch_central.htm Finally, I can look up house numbers for people, as long as you don't expect me to do it overnight. Usually I can work it in without one week of your request. What I need is the pre-1930 address and the post-1930 address. mrf John wrote: >The Milwaukee Public Library, Humanities Department has a book that >cross references the old addresses to new.

Marcie, I pondered the same question as you did. The addresses were regularized in Milwaukee about 1930. What I did to compare the two addresses was to call the City of Milwaukee.

You can also try getting someone in the German department at your local college/university to help. Sometimes there are professors or German students who are willing to help you. Just call your local German department to ask. mrf Susan Nokes wrote: >Thank you, >But I would need someone who was local to SE Wisconsin--someone who could >send for the microfilm via interlibrary loan or or be able to go to the >Public library in Watertown, WI--to view the old German newspapers....anyone >out there who could help? > >Thank you, again, >Susan >[email protected] >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Pam G" <[email protected]> >To: <[email protected]> >Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 6:58 PM >Subject: [WiMilwau] Re: Old German Script > > > > >>Hello , >> >>Susan mentioned wanting to get some old German Script translated. . have >> >> >you > > >>tried any of the German Rootsweb lists??

Seeking information about Elizabeth M. BLACK. According to information I have, she may have been wealthy being able to purchase stock in a mining company about 1906. I found info on her in the 1910 US Census and some vague info in the 1920 census. Any information would be appreciated: city directories, biography, etc. She is mentioned in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court by Anna E. Durkee against the Portage Mountain Mining Co in 1906. Ms. Black was to have purchased 50,000 shares of stock in the company for $5,000.00. Ms. Black was evidently known to Anna E. Durkee. The fact that Elizabeth was born in NY as was Anna may mean a prior connection in that state. Per census records she was single. Info below from HeritageQuest: BLACK, ELIZABETH M (1910 U.S. Census) WISCONSIN , MILWAUKEE, 1-WD MILWAUKEE Age: 48, Female, Race: WHITE, Born: NY Series: T624 Roll: 1722 Page: 75 Occupation: Has own income 2 women living in house as servants Living on Prospect Avenue Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I would be happy to pay for copies, etc. Thank you! Trish Trish Neal Coos Bay, OR 97420 "For I know the plans that I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a good future.--Jeremiah 29:11

I did a quick search while at the Central Library in Milwaukee. All that I could find that was somewhat similar was; E D Bangs, Photographer, Milwaukee 1879 and Eldridge Barker, Photographer, Milwaukee 1900. That's all I could find in the City directories that were available there. There are more directories at The Milwaukee County Historical Museum. Might be worth going to their site and asking them.

On a draft registration in 1918 an address was given as 1752 22nd Street in Milwaukee. In an obituary in 1945 the address for the same family is 5934 N. 22nd St.. The numbering system changed but don't know when or how. Could the addresses be for the same house or are they two different places? Appreciate your time & thank you. Marcie

Hi Marcie- Can you supply the last name? It seems logical that they are different but the city did a huge overhaul of the street addresses and numbering in the early 30s. I can check the city directories or the censuses to see if they are the same or different, all I need are the names of the head of house. Here's a link that helps with the street name changes. It didn't help with your question, tho. http://www.linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/mkestreets1.html John On Sat, 19 Feb 2005 14:48:04 -0500, Spud-z <[email protected]> wrote: > On a draft registration in 1918 an address was given as 1752 22nd Street in Milwaukee. > In an obituary in 1945 the address for the same family is 5934 N. 22nd St..

Hi Listers, A couple of years ago I had someone researching my Tuchalski line for me. They sent me some information that I kept even though I wasn't sure it was mine. I have since learned more about my lines and am pretty sure that these people aren't my line. I don't think they connect in any way unless they (the father) is the brother to my main line. So far, I've found nothing to suggest this. In any case, I have the following papers that I can send to you if you provide postage. I have spelled names the way they look on the papers and the best that I can make out. 1. Death paper for Alma Tuchalski. It's dated April 16, 1906 2. Death paper on of Theophil Tuchalski (that's how it's written). It's dated 1890. 3. Death paper on John Tuchalski. Dated 1890 4. Death paper on child of Theofil Tuchalski. dated 1885 5. Same as # 4, dated 1886 6. Death paper on Josephine Tuchalski. dated 1891 (there are 2 of these) 7. Anna Tuchalsky. dated 188? 8. Death paper on Josephina Tuchalski. dated 1902 9. Death paper on Leokadya Tuchalski. dated 1903 If any of these fit your lines, email me off line. Rhonda
