Marcie had a question about Granville, Wisconsin. The Town of Granville was a township just west of the Town of Milwaukee. If you can get hold of a plat map for the County of Milwaukee, you will be better able to understand. The Milwaukee County Historical Society would have plat maps. The Town of Granville was annexed by the City of Milwaukee back in the 1960's. The Town of Granville was bordered by what is now West County Line Road (north boundary); North 124th Street (west boundary); North 27th Street (east boundary); West Hampton Avenue (south boundary). If you have a City of Milwaukee map today you'd be able to find it by those streets. Any events that would have occured in the Town of Granville, would be registered at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, and if not there, in the local churches. I think the majority of the churches have had their records microfilmed by the LDS Church. Hope that helps you some. >From someone who lives smack dab in the middle of the Town of Granville. Janice

Hello Janice: Want to tell you how much I appreciate receiving the information on Granville. The ancestor that I inquired about had siblings and I had them all listed as being born in Milwaukee (no documentation). I'm sure now that some/all of the siblings were born in Granville. Thanks for the contact information re the Historial Society and the County Court House. I have a map of the City of Milwaukee but it is not large enough. The only street I could find was North 21st Street. Would you or anyone else know anything about the Union Cemetery? Was that also in Granville or was it always in Milwaukee? Thanks again for your help.
