Re: blwyddyn newydd dda a Pasg ddedwydd (Welsh)-- "Happy New Year and a Blessed Easter" (English) To John of Racine, primarily---> over the past several months, you've complained about MUCH that I've posted on the WiMilwau list, and I really don't understand your need to keep harassing me. Please now have the good sense to direct any future bellyaching not to the list as a whole, but to me personally and/or the list administrator, Cheryl (WiMilwau-admin@rootsweb.com). Apparently, John, you've rather childishly blocked me from responding to your gripes off-list-- so, unless you remove this block, there's no way I can respond to your continuing obnoxious behavior in a private email-- even though I'm no longer very likely to respond to you either on-list OR off-list. Am I pretty much fed up with all this? Yes. And where is it written that we cannot have a little fun & a few lingering mysteries on these RootsWeb lists? Or are you demanding, John of Racine, that we NEVER include any German, Polish, Croatian, etc., references in any of our Milwaukee posts? And can we not occasionally deal with bigger historical subjects than whether Aunt Millie was divorced in 2004 or 2005? Seems unlikely-- but maybe you're upset, John, that the subject line (in Welsh) of my last WiMilwau post included a few spelling & grammatical errors (as I later realized), and I now feel that the subject line would have been better as "blwyddyn newydd dda a Pasg ddedwydd" ("Happy New Year and a Blessed Easter"), as above. In any case, I clearly indicated that my last WiMilwau post was in the Welsh language, and I pretty much roughly revealed its meaning as well. But, John, if you truly had any curiosity (which I view as highly unlikely) about the EXACT meaning here, you could easily have checked standard references, perhaps via Google, such as InterTran (http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translations.htm) or the Cardiff (Wales) website (http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/fun/welsh/LexiconForms.html). I strongly recommend your considering spending less time bellyaching via RootsWeb, and more time on genealogy. Incidentally, John of Racine, your strange one-sentence post earlier yesterday (re: Maerzke) at GenWisconsin (http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GenWisconsin/2007-03) makes absolutely zero sense to me, while the follow-up of Kathy (at lenerz@worldnet.att.net) provides valuable access info on HeritageQuest (http://www.eogen.com/HeritageQuestOnline). Recently I found that HeritageQuest has some valuable Revolutionary War (and other) databases that Ancestry.com apparently does NOT provide. And I find that I can remotely access HeritageQuest via my local library (at no cost), typing in the coding imprinted on my library card. (And I see, brother Bill, that all Georgia libraries that are part of PINES provide in-home access through GALILEO. Only a library card and password are required.) My 3/24/07 post in Welsh began as a private response to a cousin of mine, an Episcopalian Rector-- who's also head of the Waukegan (IL) Episcopal Deanery. He's now studying Celtic languages as a hobby. And just as I was about to send out my email to him, it occurred to me to me that my email might also be of some interest to the WiMilwau list, along with a few other relatives of mines. So I decided to type in a few extra email addresses-- possibly a minor mistake, judging partly from the latest complaint (below) of Mr. Nice Guy, John of Racine ...............John (in metro Chicago) ___________________________________________________________________ Subj: Re: [WIMILWAU] blyddyn newdd dda a 'n ddedwydd Pasg Date: 3/25/2007 9:22:05 A.M.

Don't include the word "The" in your search on the Schwartz website.

I've mostly had almost zero access to the Internet for the past several weeks as this Senior Citizen, with minimal computer savvy, has been trying hard to switch over from dial-up to high-speed. AT&T predicted the whole process would not exceed one hour, which has proved to be wildly optimistic in my case. Below is a partial summary of transoceanic ship travel by Danish engineer Asger Eilersgaard (1882-1966) + Mildred Magie (1890-1929), as currently reported by Ancestry.com. More details later from JQM. Did Asger and Mildred divorce before Mildred died (of what?) in Chicago on August 23, 1929. Also, was Mildred Asger's first and only wife? And was Charlotte "Billie" (Eilersgaard) Roberts the only child of either Asger or Mildred? As Spring approaches, I'm still hopeful I can soon give the Rev. Bill Roberts (Episcopal Rector at Deerfield, IL) and his wife Ingrid a tour of Section 33 at Forest Home Cemetery, Milwaukee-- unless they have already done so. Section 33 includes the unusual above-ground grave of Bill's grandmother Mildred, along with the headstones of her parents and our mutual ancestors Jonathan and Almira (nee Eldred) Magie. This section is probably now the most expensive and attractive area at Forest Home--one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the Midwest. The empty burial lots in Section 33 were all paid for by our family well over a century ago, along with the annual flowers that I try to water in the heat of mid-summer. In the event that Bill does not become the next Episcopal Bishop of, say, San Francisco, I remain hopeful that he might consider Forest Home as a final resting place for his young family. Forest Home (founded in 1849-50) is still carefully maintained by St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Milwaukee's oldest Episcopal congregation. It's clear that St. Paul's was at the very center of the lives our Magie and Eldred ancestors (beginning in the 1840s), and the finest of the expensive Tiffany glass windows in the present Richardsonian Romanesque edifice on Knapp St., as erected in the early 1880s, appear to have been generously donated by our Eldred ancestors ............John (in metro Chicago) _______________________________________________ New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Name: Mr. Asger Eilersgaard, Danish Engineer Birth: abt 1882 Last USA visit: 1906 Departure: Cherbourg, France Arrival: 9 Feb 1907 - New York, New York Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934 (in German) Name: Asger Eilersgaard Birth: abt 1882 Departure: 3 Sep 1912 - Hamburg New York Passenger Lists, 1820-195 Name: Asger Eilersgaard Departure: Copenhagen, Denmark Home: South Shore Country Club, Chicago [also the Chicago home of William A.

I let my ancestry sub lapse, due to not having the funds at the moment, but I sure do miss having it and will be reinstating it at my earliest opportunity. Sure, they're a business, but where else can one get all that information so easily? Worth it to me. By the way, there is an interesting article about Ancestry on Wikipedia.com -- for those interested in the business wheelings and dealings. mrf Cindy Dooley wrote: > I'm aware this isn't exactly one Milwaukee Subject, but it seems to be > something that has been mentioned.

Maybe you can help me Cindy! I have a major problem that I can't seem to solve. Don't know if it can be solved in Ancestry although I do see a lot of Letiz surnames. I have or should say had a great grandfather married to Euphemia G. Tweedie and they had two children according to the 1900 hundred census in Hennepin County. Margorie (think it's misspelled) Letiz and William T. Letiz. The Letiz could be misspelled too. My grandmother spelled it Litz. It listed Euphemia as a widow. William was born in Jan 1895 in Minn. and Margeorie May of 1893. The Letiz in question has no first name and I can't find a death date without it. He would have had to of died maybe in 1894-1899 time line for her to be listed as a widow. You would think that maybe a marriage lic. or obit would be able to be found. But alas I have come up with nothing. If this is something you may want to pursue I would greatly appreciate any help here. Let me know if this is something you could research on Ancestry.

Does anyone know of a place that might have a list of women from Milwaukee who served in World War One? I recently found someone who is interred in the Central Wisconsin Veteran's Cemetery, and it says that she served as a PFC. I know the woman was originally from Milwaukee, and I'm curious as to whether there might be a list of female service members somewhere. Thank you. Kathy Campbell Jacksonville, FL

Hello all, This is from another list. . . Not sure if this has been posted yet, but apparently as of April 1, 2007, there will no longer be free access to Ancestry.com databases at Family History centers. Apparently, this letter was forwarded as a response to many requests as to the reason for this. . .just FYI. The below is from a letter Tim Sullivan, CEO of The Generations Network sent to Ancestry employees. The full letter was placed on the Genealogy Blog by Leland Meitzler. http://genealogyblog.com/ancestrycom/another-side-of-the-ancestrycom-removal-from-the-family-history-centers-5877I also wanted to share a few thoughts with all of you on another topic. Forthe last seven years, our company has provided free access toAncestry.com<http://ancestry.com/>inside the family history centers ofthe LDS Church. During this time, we'vedone this without any formal agreement or compensation. Several months ago,we informed the Church of our desire to craft a formal relationship thatwould allow us to continue providing this free access. This is similar tothe way that we license Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com/> to over 1400public libraries in the U.S. and U.K. We do this for a license fee whichlets patrons of these institutions use our service for free inside theirfacilities. As you can imagine, this is a very popular program amonglibraries. Unfortunately, we were not able to come to agreement with the Church on theterms of this proposed relationship. We ! are disappointed by this, as we knowthat patrons of family history centers valueAncestry.com<http://ancestry.com/>,and we think our institutional licensing program is priced very fairly. Weremain willing and eager to have Ancestry.com<http://ancestry.com/>available in family history centers, and we areeven hopeful that at somepoint the Church will reconsider their position and decide to give patronsof their family history centers access to the world's greatest onlineresource for family history research. We will continue to provide access in family history centers to a smallnumber of databases which are covered by other agreements, and none of ourother many agreements with the Church are impacted by this change. Wecontinue to have a number of mutually beneficial agreements andrelationships with the Church, and as two large players in the familyhistory space, we share a common goal of getting as many people as we caninterested in their family history. Our relationship is a go! od one, and weare always looking for ways to cooperate with the Church in order to growour business and ignite more interest in the category. I'm sharing all ofthis with all of you because I am sure that there will be some unhappypatrons of family history centers, and I wanted everyone to understand thatthis was not a one-way decision on our part. Finally, I am constantly asked whether we think of the Church as acompetitor. The answer to this really depends on the underlying assumptionsof the question. Are we competing for dollars? No. Do we have exactly thesame goals? No. Are we unfriendly? Absolutely not. Is TGN committed tomaking sure that Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com/> remains the #1 resourcefor online family history? Absolutely. Is Ancestry going to continue to bethe home of the world's largest online family tree? Yup. Should we be ableto innovate faster than anyone on the planet in this space? Of course. Arewe two large players that each have done tremendous things to help peopleunderstand their family history? Yes. Can we continue ! to cooperate with theChurch to get millions more people interested in family history? We can, andwe will. I think we have a pretty good game plan for continuing to grow a trulygreat company. Thanks, TimI don't have any further information, Pam

Ancestry has an affiliate program. Put Ancestry advertising on your site and you $X dollars for each person that signs up for a subscription through your site. Very typically the sites with the largest ancestry advertising are actually usually owned or directly affiliated with Ancestry.
