Gordon-- if you reread some of the postings that Ashley has sent and received over the last few days, I think you'll see quite clearly that she is a Wisconsin resident. In any case, does this list not welcome contributions from Japan-- or even Minnesota? I feel it's also reasonably obvious that, for comic effect, Ashley has exaggerated some of the research difficulties that she has had in Wisconsin. I, for one, have really appreciated the humor she has injected into this often rather dull WiMilwau list over the past few days. .........John (a Chicago alien) __________________________________________________________ << Subj: Re: [WiMilwau] G word: resources in Mo and IL and PA Date: 7/26/01 2:24:26 PM Central Daylight Time From: alamo94@execpc.com (gordon gehrig) To: WIMILWAU-L@rootsweb.com Ashley where do you live-I think once you stated JAPAN-are you a foreigner-have you ever lived in Wisconsin.for those who moved and now live in Wisconsin,I consider them to be Wisconsinites and do not care for the comments you made-If you can not say anything good about our beautiful state then clam up gordon milwaukee wisconsin >> __________________________________________________________

Come on folks, Lets get things back on topic. Everyone knows what I mean I hope! Thanks, Bob

I wasn't sure what to make of all of it! (messages exchanged earlier concerning Wisconsin residents & those now living in other States...) I must say based on my own research, I have found that getting information from Milwaukee, WI is more difficult & more expensive than any other State I've needed documents from so far. I'm simply stating it as fact based on my own experience. I have yet to even be able to make a trip there to research but the idea of needing an appointment in advance to due research makes it difficult for us living in other states. What makes it frustrating is that this is the only State I need information from since his grandparents were immigrants and all of his ancestors are deceased. So, it is extremely slow to learn about his family. If it weren't for the kindness of other researchers on this list I would not have made any progress on my husband's family. So, I just want to say thank-you, once again to those who are so kind!
