Susan, I have belonged to the Milwaukee County Genealogical Society and the Milwaukee County Historical Society for many years. They have both been well worth it. In 1985 when I wasn't into the computer, I did a lot of research via regular mail. Both of these groups were VERY helpful. I even met a woman through the gen group who did research for me at various public repositories. I paid her, but it also was well worth it. I also belong to the Bay View Historical Society. Bay View was a small village of it's own but was annexed to Milwaukee, I believe in the 1880's. But they have a strong neighborhood and I've enjoyed reading their publications. If you aren't sure if you want to join, write to the historical society and ask them what sources they have available via the mail. They have done look ups in city directories, coroner's reports, various indices, court records (what a surprise to get the court documents from a court proceeding for my family from 1890!) naturalizations, even census look ups. I really believe that any time we can join a group in an area where our ancestors lived, it helps us to get a feel for the place and also small groups do a lot of "group research"....that might be difficult to obtain from any other resource, i.e. recording cemeteries or transcribing the census. Good luck with your research.

Wondering if anyone might have easy access to any of the census' years between 1900-1915 for either of these 2 names/addresses in Milwaukee: Loeffler, Friedrich, Green Bay Rd., just north of Capital Dr(from 1858 plat). Zipfel family (Gottlieb?), 5600 N. Port Washington Rd. Thanks in advance for any help!! Pam

Hello again, Looking for any leads or family connections out there for the FRIEDRICH LOEFFLER family; they had a small farm on the west side of Green Bay Rd, just north of Capital Dr(from 1858 plat), and had a child Emilie who married GOTTLIEB ZIPFEL, who had a farm at the spot of Kohl's grocery, 5600 blk of N. Port Washington Rd. Thanks for the great support on this list!! Sincerely, Pam

Hello, would like to get a catalog code, or author, or publisher or whatever I need to identify the book by this title above, to see if I can get this on inter-library loan??

Dear Vicky, What years does your Granville book cover? My Kents and Schmidts were in Granville between 1850 and 1860 (approximately). Wonder if you find a Lewis or Louis Kent, wife Margaret or Martin and Sophia Schmidt or Smith. Thanks in advance.

Happy New Year, This is a question that may have been asked and answered on this List before, but I don't recall. I have relatives buried at Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery and I wonder if anyone knows if they have an email address so that I can ask them their charge for research and copies. Or maybe someone on the list knows their charges. I have their address and phone number could just write or call, but was trying to save the time for snail mail back and forth. Thanks for any help. Best regards, Laurel Campbell Researching Kent (Kampf or Kountte), Bleyer, Elsner, Vande Velde in Wisconsin _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

I have a book on Granville -- there are a lot of the Schwarts/Swarts name in it. Are you looking for a specific family? Vikki

I have access to the 1880 Census CDs produced by Salt Lake. Here is the only family I could find. There were no listings under Schwartz. I hope that this is of help.

John, Those were very good resources for Milwaukee. Thanks much.

Can anyone give me an idea of whether or not there were German language newspapers in the Milwaukee area in 1875? If so where are they available perhaps on microfilm? What churches might have been attended if a family was Lutheran there? Fraternal organizations? Many thanks Nancy

There were quite a few German Lutheran churches in Milwaukee by 1875. What was your family's address at that time?

To Ryan Jackson, etc.-- it looks like Edward Austin was living at about 3416 West Wells in 1889 + 1890. He was then apparently working for the North Western Mutual Life Insurance Co., still one of America's largest insurance companies ("the Quiet Company"). ..........John (in Chicago) _______________________________________________________ http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4749.htm http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1890milwauwi&gs=austin Milwaukee directories, 1889 + 1890 Name Occupation Location 1 Location 2 City State Year Edward A.

does anyone know the name of the catholic church located across the street from Calvary cemetery. I thought it was Holy Cross but went by there today and there was a different name. Lenora from Wisconsin

My address list has Holy Cross at 5424 W. Bluemound, which would put it very near if not directly across from the cemetery. However, a number of parishes have merged in recent years, and in some cases these parishes took an entirely new name. My notes indicated, for instance, that St. Barbara was merging with Holy Spirit and St. Ignatius to become St. Raphael.
