Pam, etc.-- I've frankly held back on answering some of your postings in the hopes that you would eventually reduce or stop the apparent advertising that seems to be added to the to bottom of all your WiMilwau postings. Whether it's technically SPAM, I don't really know. And I guess I don't really care all that much one way or the other. I personally have found an almost overwhelming amount of valuable historical and genealogical info on the rapidly growing mass of databases that Ancestry.com keeps placing online. Although I still prefer freebies and dislike bill paying, I expect I'll soon get around finally to subscribing to Ancestry (actually quite a bargain, I think, and for me at least), rather than depending on Ancestry's occasional free trials-- and also, to be candid, devising schemes that formerly succeeded almost flawlessly in skirting around their security checkpoints. Even Senior Citizens, like myself, can enjoy the challenge of some occasional computer hacking. Sadly, Ancestry's security has been getting more sophisticated lately-- and finally paying the piper would probably be a nice gesture on my part anyway. But, in the meantime, I seem to almost totally excluded from Ancestry.com's databases. However, I have just succeeded, probably very temporarily, in accessing the following ZIPFEL info from Ancestry's online Milwaukee directories of 1889 and 1890. My guess is that these Cherry St. addresses haven't changed much since the 1860s, except that (even though there is probably no East Cherry St.) the 1890 home of John Zipfel might now be 1229 West Cherry St. Cherry St., is an east-west street that is one block north of Vliet St. and less than a mile north of Wisconsin Ave. Unfortunately I wasn't able to check the various Cherry Street addresses below to locate people with other surnames who might live there-- something I formerly could do very easily. Also, even though Ancestry has very little post-1860 census data for Wisconsin, I can't now seem to get back into data. Also, below I'm adding some STREESE info that I downloaded for you a few weeks ago when I had total access to almost all of Ancestry's databases. I then forgot all about this download, but fortunately had retained it on a floppy disk. .........John =================================================== http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4749.htm Milwaukee directories for 1889+1990: 147772 listings for businesses + heads of household (about 72176 for 1889, plus about 75596 for 1890) Milwaukee Directory: Alfred G.
