Re: Waukesha Freeman Judy found the answer some time ago, I thought she had posted it to the list. Maybe she posted it to the Waukesha List. Here is what she said: "After chasing my tail for awhile and trying to find a phone number for ancestry (which is actually kind of hard to do). Talked to a guy in technical support. He said ancestry doesn't own the newspaper information. They only lease it from the newspapers. So the old Waukesha Co newspapers (whoever owns them) has the say on what goes to ancestry. They can add or take away at any time." After I recevied this from Judy, I contacted the Waukesha Freeman to see who I would talk to about getting the information back online. I never received an answer. Ellen- www.LinksToThePast.com *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 12/29/2006 at 9:03 AM Mary R. Frank wrote: >The Milwaukee directory is still there.
