Albert G Becker's death notice should list family members who survived him, usually including the husband's name of married women, and sometimes the paper will list a place where out-of-town relatives are living. By now (30 years later), some of these may be dead and you could find them on SSDI as well. So, work back and forth between death notices and SSDI to find out who's still living. It can take several weeks to get a death certificate from Madison. If it's been more than 8 weeks, I'd contact them again. The death certificate may list a family member as the person who provided personal information. It will also list the cemetary and you could contact them to see if there's a family plot. Again, you would want to check for death notices on deceased family members. The cemetery may also have information on living persons who own the rest of the family plot. However, I don't know whether they would divulge that information or consider it private. Once you've got an idea who might be living, you can check online white pages. Of course, not everyone has a listed phone number/address, and Becker is a very common name. Good luck! Mary Popovich

Hello all again, Still looking for the Streese/Striese family of Johann Friedericke Wilhelm Streese, from Germany; apparently, his mother's family was named Meiseler(Caroline), and there were several Meiseler's who emigrated to Milwaukee in the late 1800's. . .would someone mind looking up any directory listings for that surname Meisler(or spelling Striese??). ...any years between 1880 and 1930 would be helpful. .. Thanks again so much; this list has been SO helpful and I hope I can return the favors. Sincerely, Pam ______________________________________________________
