    3. Looking for Bob of Brookfield Bob While lurking on the net I have noted your messages and realize that you are very knowledgeable of the ins and outs of Milwaukee. I expect to be in Milwaukee around the 20th of August and would like to do some family research and could use your advice. My father was born in Milwaukee in 1900 and moved to the Detroit in 1926 and remained there until his death in 1964. His father died in 1910 while living at 627 Lloyd in Milwaukee and my father and his younger brother were put into an orphanage at that time. My grandfather was born in Davenport, Iowa in 1870 and moved to Milwaukee ? He married my grandmother in Milwaukee in 1895, ( she previously lived in Manitowoc), they are both buried in Union station along with a child that died in his youth. * Where do I go for the best source of records.I'll be looking for census records. * Do you possibly know where there may be some records as to what orphanage he may have been sent. * Is it safe to go into Union cemetery? Are there records kept there? * Do I need an appointment to visit these places. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ken in North Carolina
