I had found information somewhere about Charlie ERNO owning a tavern in Milwaukee, in the first part of the 20th century. (30's to 50's?) I don't know what became of it. This would be the grgr grandfather of my child. Would someone have old directories to look up ERNO or any of the following they have time for? Is there an on-line death index for Milwaukee County? Other names in this family include: BOUCHARD,ALMQUIST & AUTHIER. I know little on any of them. Sonja

Hi, I've got a few more suggestions for those having trouble researching Milwaukee or anywhere, great for those on a budget and working from home. As may have already been suggested, join the Genealogical or Historical Society for the area that you are having the most trouble researching. Usually the benefits outweigh the membership fees and you don't have to be located there to be a member. USE INTER LIBRARY LOAN to obtain historical/biographical books/city directories when possible. Find a resource by looking through historical society libraries on-line, public libraries on-line, and from lurking on lists. I've done this hundreds of times and it is cheap and easy.Yes, Milwaukee is more expensive than other area for inter library loans of microfilm, etc. but it is cheaper than hiring a researcher, especially if you want to make discoveries yourself. Details on using ILL below. If you need and obituary and you have the death date, there are several ways to obtain it if you have a death date and if the obit actually exists. Details on obtaining obituaries are also below. Lastly, if you are burned out or discouraged I have a list of a few things you can do to get you through those slow times! Some of it has to do with ILLs and obits already mentioned, but you may want to look at it anyway. It is also included below. . Barb Thomas bthomas@wport.com INTER LIBRARY LOANS: Find a resource that exists, either from on-line library catalogs, historical society holding, or resources that you find out about from the lists you subscribe to. Then go to your local library and request the resource through their inter library loan department. Their inter library loan department will be able to search for a source of the item if you don't know what institution actually has it, and it will be loaned to you through your library, usually for a short time, in-library use only. Be sure to ask that microfilmed/fishe resources, such as newspaper, census records and some historical books, be sent to a library local to you that has a microfilm reader/copier that you can use. There will probably be a small fee. If a resource you need is reference item only, such as city directories usually are, you can request for the lending library to photocopy pertinent information for you for your particular surname or location. I always include that kind of information on my request form, just in case, as I want to make sure the entire ILL procedure is as fast as possible. If you live in a small town with a library that tells you it doesn't "do" inter library loan or doesn't want to do it (probably because they are unfamiliar with the procedure), try to speak to someone else in the library system who is higher up OR go to the next biggest library (like a regional library) if you can, and make your request there. ILL is a normal, widely used mechanism for obtaining items from long distance. Library systems all over the US participate but costs and availability of personnel to actual perform ILL requests do vary. OBITS: Personally, I really enjoy the excitement of obtaining obituaries myself WHEN POSSIBLE. Try all of these options - they all have worked for me in the past. 1. The obituary daily times indexes CURRENT obits. Go to their website and do a search: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Obituaries/ Most major newspapers have people listing the obits at this site. It will tell you the name of the newspaper if you follow the link to find out. Then go to step 2 2. If it is a current obit, find a newspaper from the area and see if they have their current obits on-line. Many do. There is a list of newspapers at this URL with links to the papers if they have a web page: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Obituaries/ 3. If the obits are not on-line then write to the local library (which you can find on one of the on-line directory services). List the date of death or better yet, list the obit date and newspaper if you have that information. Offer to cover copy costs and send a S.A.S.E. They usually will do it with precise information and charge you a dollar or two. Many will do old obits also or have a researcher/volunteer who works there do them for you. 4. If you are looking for older obituaries, then go to your local library and request a newspaper from your particular area for a particular date range. Their inter library loan department will be able to search for a source of the newspaper and it will be loaned to you through your library, usually for a short time, in-library use only. Be sure to ask that it be sent to a library local to you that has a microfilm reader/copier that you can use. There may be a small fee. ****If you are researching in KS or MN, they have great historical societies that have newspapers microfilmed and list them on-line. 5. There is a list on rootsweb specifically for obituary lookups. The rootsweb information page with links is at this URL: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Obituaries/ There are links to the pages for lists of volunteers for specific areas. If there is not a volunteer listed for a specific county/town where you need a lookup, then you are free to post your request on the list. The URL at rootsweb above that gives instructions on subscribing to the obituary lookup list and it's use. Also, if anyone has personal experience with obtaining obits and know of a great historical society or university library, etc that has a substantial newspaper collection on microfilm (any state), I would like to know about it! Thanks so much! Good Luck - these ALL work for me! DISCOURAGED? SIX specific things you can do! I've been doing genealogy for 5 years. There SURE ARE up times and down times! There are somethings that I do to help fill in the down times. Some may not apply to everyone but the they all have worked for me at one time or another. Most research I had to do almost entirely from home, as I had small children to take care of. The first thing to remember is that the internet won't do everything we want it to do for us. We still need to use other sources for uncovering our family's history. These things below ALL have worked for me. IDEA #1 There are all kinds of library catalogs on-line from across the country that you can access through the internet. University libraries, County libraries, Historical Society Libraries, State Libraries. Find new resources for your towns, counties, states of interest (microfilmed records, reference books, state censuses, microfilmed newspapers) and go to your local library and request these resources through inter library loan. My library system allows me to request things on-line and I don't have to leave my house. They notify me when the items arrive and I go down and view them. Most of the time there is little or NO CHARGE to me, but your library might be different. ALWAYS indicate what information you need (i.e.. surnames you are researching) in case the library who has the resource won't lend but will photocopy for you. IDEA #2 If you can't go back any farther on your direct line, start researching your collateral lines. These collateral lines often lead to new names, and other researchers who may know more about your direct line that you do now. For more uncommon surnames, use an internet telephone directory and find out how many of those surnames NOW reside in your town/county of interest. If the number is not large, write them all a letter and tell them you are researching your family history and ask for their help. Tell them that if they are not interested in corresponding with you, please could they give you a name of someone else in the family who would be willing to do so. If you get a genuine response from a genuine relative, you may have hit the jackpot. (THIS WORKS!) IDEA#3 Get obituaries for ALL of those deceased relatives. You never know what tidbit of information they might have that you don't have. There are many ways of doing this. Newspapers on microfilm through inter library loan is one way. If that doesn't work, try writing to the local library in the town that the person died in. Enclose an S.A.S.E and offer to pay for copy costs. Usually you get a response and a bill for only $2-$3. It is best to have a close if not exact date. Check the obituary daily times URL on the web and see if anyone in your area of interest has died recently and has a familiar surname. Get their obituary and perhaps it will be a relative (the page and date are included in that database). (OBITUARIES CAN BE A GOLD MINE!) IDEA#4 If you are like me, you MAY have a little bit of genealogical filing piling up on your desk somewhere. A teeensy, weeensy bit? Mountains, that's me! Each time I sit down to tackle my filing, I start sorting out the papers and I always run across something that I was going to follow up on but didn't. Then I do. Try it. IDEA#5 Rootsweb has such a great SSDI that allows you to post post-it-notes on a person's record. Go to the site and lookup up each of your relatives on the SSDI and post your name, email address and US Mailing ADDRESS (in case your email address changes in the future) so that anyone else looking up those people will now you are a fellow researcher. (I am just starting to do this myself) IDEA#6 There may be a query board or two on the internet where you can put queries and surnames that you haven't found yet. I place queries or at least my surnames (collateral lines, too) of interest at every site that I can. If my people lived in six different states, I have a query in each county in each state that they lived in. Here are a few: genweb sites for counties, rootsweb surname query boards, Family Tree Maker's genforum query boards for surnames, as well as states, counties, "Genealogy's Most Wanted," Ancestry's Familyhistory.com forums for locations and surnames, Rootweb RSL, rootsweb's worldconnect. !

To All Milwaukee Researchers, I belong to the Milwaukee County Historical Society. I do not live in Wisconsin. They have been very helpful to me over the last 10, plus, years. They have a wealth of information and can do a lot for you through the mail (U.S. Post Office). One of the things they did for me was to look up listings in City Directories. I think that now they do extractions as they dislike putting the books to the strong light of the copy machine. They will also look up your ancestor in a whole list of places for, I believe, about $5. This includes naturalization papers, court documents, incorporation papers,....it's a long list and you really should write to them for an updated list. They are at: 910 N. Old World 3rd St. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203 (414) 273-8288 Possibly a quick answer could be obtained from: Molly Hannan Publications & Public Contact Molly Hannan <mchs@execpc.com> And if you are lucky enough to spend some time in Milwaukee, they have a huge photo file in the library and will let you look at it...plus they are very near to Mader's.

My grandmother, Flora Boughton Bond, died in Milwaukee 7 Feb 1925 as a result of peritonitis (appendix rupture). The obituary said her burial arrangements were made by Phillip J. Weiss of Milwaukee. Since she lived in Cumberland, Wi., died in Milwaukee, and was buried in Iowa Falls, Iowa, I am at a loss as to where to begin. I have not been able to locate any vital records on Flora (I do have her marriage certificate and it does not indicate her parentage or place of birth) Can anyone check to see if there is a death record for her in Milwaukee? Thanks

I wasn't sure what to make of all of it! (messages exchanged earlier concerning Wisconsin residents & those now living in other States...) I must say based on my own research, I have found that getting information from Milwaukee, WI is more difficult & more expensive than any other State I've needed documents from so far. I'm simply stating it as fact based on my own experience. I have yet to even be able to make a trip there to research but the idea of needing an appointment in advance to due research makes it difficult for us living in other states. What makes it frustrating is that this is the only State I need information from since his grandparents were immigrants and all of his ancestors are deceased. So, it is extremely slow to learn about his family. If it weren't for the kindness of other researchers on this list I would not have made any progress on my husband's family. So, I just want to say thank-you, once again to those who are so kind!

Hi Lon; Thank you so much for sending me the list for my SCHULZE family! I had no idea there were so many Schulze's listed! When I tried to access the site a few days ago there was only eight records - not 40! I notice that it says 'View Complete Record' after the name of each person. I am definitely interested in Friedrika Schulze, died April 10, 1880, St. Mark. She is my g.g.g.grandmother. Would you mind emailing that page to me? Thanks for all of your help!!!! By the way, is there an address given to write for copies of the death cert? Cristy in Washington State ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Can some kind lister please do a lookup on Ancestry.com (of which I am not a member), in the St. Louis, MO. Death Records 1850-1908, which appeared in the July 18, 2001 newsletter. Apparently Ancestry.com no longer allows free access to their new databases to non-members. The surname I am interested in is SCHULZE and there are eight listed but I am unable to access the information. I realize this list (of which I am a member) is for Milwaukee research but I really need help with this family. Much obliged!!
