Update with first names for my roll call: Parnau - ALL Giersch - John, Frank, Paul, Conrad Wicherski - ALL Felchner - ALL Melka - John Koenen - Gerhard, Jacob, John, Frank & Henry Verhalen Meurer Kriese - ALL Steinbrenner - ALL Disterheft (Duesterhoeft) - ALL Laube - ALL Some of the extended family are: Grzesiak - Wojciech Albert, Julian, Casimir, Stephen, Leonard & Henry Harthun - Ernst, Ernest, Carl & Elmer Herda - Frank & Mary Jagodzinski - John S. Karnowski - Martin As many of you know, I am a family history researcher at historic Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have also read over 40 volumes of Milwaukee history and have indexed every surname and all first names given plus maiden names found in them plus have also read and indexed about 50 volumes of the Milwaukee Historical Society historical newsletters. Roll Calls don't help me in my research, though, for people unless first names are included also. For instance, Marquardt: just at the cemetery alone we have about 20 of them and to get all the information on all of them would take just too long and then, names like Johnson, Smith, Jackson, etc. - impossible. So, any of you who have sent in names to the Roll Call, if you would send me first names I would be very happy to look up what I can find. For four years now I have volunteered to do this but have always just deleted Roll Calls where first names are not given. Help me if you want me to try to help you.
