May 1863 (37) married 5 yrs. b. Michigan. Parents both b. Michigan. No occupation was listed Clara (wife) b. April 1874 (26) has had 2 children, 1 survived. b. Michigan. Parent both b. Michigan. Children: Harley b. June 1889 (10) b. Michigan. Parents both b. Michigan. James A. b. Feb. 1897 (3) b. Michigan. Parents both b. Michigan. Hope this helps! ~Michelle

The Milwaukee Public Library has hard copies of just about every City Directory that has ever been published, donated to them some years ago by historic Forest Home Cemetery where I donate time. They also have most all of them, if not all, on microfilm. I wish I could go there for you and look it up but my eyes just do not let me read microfilm any longer. Maybe a request to this list will find someone headed to down town Milwaukee who would be willing to stop in and look it up for you. Bob of Brookfield

My Lucian Hinkamp was married to Marie Bertram. I think both are deceased. Marie was a cousin to my mother-in-law and I would like to finishing adding that family to our family history. I think they lived inth Milwaukee area. A daughter Linda married to Jame Malek.

You might want to write or call the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Their web page is: http://www.milwaukeecountyhistsoc.org/ They have all the city directories and are most helpful!

Hi all!! I need some direction in searching some LDS films: I went to our local LDS center regarding specifically to get batch #'s for Hamburg and/or Hanover area. The man gave me some "Europe film area" #'s to check out, but where do I put these in?? Are these different from regular film #'s on the IGI screen?? I get nothing, says no matches, and I'm not putting in any surnames. . .some examples of the numbers are 1742390, or 1045320. .. any direction on how to use these would be helpful!! thanks in advance for your time!!

Hi all, I have a zeroxed copy of the info I ordered from the online record request(fee based); they were very fast and you get all name variations on the list; sadly, my grandmother is not listed, so I'm stumped. However, if anyone would like me to lookup any births with a surname starting with ST's ONLY(only some of these), I'd be glad to check the list I have, in case I can help save someone from extra cost. . . ??!!

Am I missing something obvious to others? When I go to the site it indicates the 1850 census is "coming soon".

Dear list, If you aren't interested in the impact of technology on the present and what it means for the future of genealogy, please delete this now. I get an newsletter called The Net Economy, always well written, and often having more information on contemporary events than any newspaper or TV news I come in contact with. The latest issue is more scary about privacy as a Constitutional issue than anything I've ever read. The book 1984 has arrived, as a practical matter, and is in effect here in the USA. However, the same data mentioned in the newsletter would hold exactly the information I'd love to have for my grandparents, and earlier generations. Want to know the future of genealogy? Go to the newsletter site and read the whole issue. Your descendants 100 years from now could know every public action of yours, whom you spoke with, how many red lights you ran, where you were outdoors on any day, what buildings you entered at any time. The techniques involved, today's technology, provide the data any genealogist a century from now would delight in: a way to track their ancestors minutely and exactly thru the day and year, knowing just where those ancestors went and who they shared their lives with. Having local, state, and national governments currently able to track and hold and use that information is a most disturbing thought. Whatever the wants of genealogists I haven't met. Please, after my signature, keep in mind I didn't write the copy. The two paragraphs are pasted from The Net Economy newsletter. Go there, either with the hotlink or by copying and pasting, to read the whole newsletter, or hide under the bedcovers, as you would wish.

Should I send a check? Total amount? To whom would I make it out? Thank you so much for this reply. I had totally lost touch with this family. (He was my oldest uncle and much loved by my older siblings. I never go to meet him or any of his children.) I know he had a daughter named Marjorie and also a son named Clifford Myrick Bond but had no idea what had happened to them. I am so sorry I did not begin this research in time to get to know his grand daughter before she died (so recently). I appreciate your generous gift of time to help me. Marilyn

checked the Milwaukee CD for 1934 and no Walter, Douglas, Robert and Elise Grant in the 1934 Milwaukee C.D. Lenora from Wisconsin

Sorry, so many lookups and people dropping in for help at Forest Home Cemetery on this, my volunteer day for family history/genealogical lookups, I didn't tie the two messages together (yesterday's and today's) Dor Ernest C. Bond is buried at historic Forest Home Cemetery. He was born on April 26, 1877 and died on May 6, 1937 and was cremated on May 10th and shortly after that was interred in Lot 11, Block 20, Section 51. Buried with him are Sadie Myrick Bond (also cremated - but in Houston, Texas and later buried at Forest Home in the same lot, block and sections. Her life time dates were October 24, 1879 to 7-29-1960. And, buried in the same plot with them is Marjorie E. Chere Hendrickson who was also cremated. Her life time dates were March 15, 1906 and death on April 17, 1996. Dr. Bon bought these graves on October 22, 1929. After his death Clifford M. Bond became the lot representative on May 11, 1937. On January 3, 19651 Marjorie B. Chere became the lot representative and on January 7, 1988 Sally Chere Waraczynski became the representative. All three burials have headstones Should you want this in printed form from the burial card and a cemetery map and a section map show the exact location, I would be glad to mail it to you but the cemetery does have a $1.00 fee per name looked up: to cover copying charges, records use, paper, envelope and mailing costs. My personal research and the mailing out of the information is done as a hobby on my part and in thanksgiving for the many people who have helped me with my own research into my family.

Good Evening Marill, Have you tried writing to the Weiss Funeral Home. Most of the funeral directors I know are gracious enough to supply information to people from their archives. The address is: Weiss Funeral Home 1901 N. Farwell Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53202 1-414-276-5122 Bob of Brookfield
