Hi Maxine, Yes I decided to write all of the local county lists again: Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee and Jefferson/Dodge Counties...this gentleman sounds interesting--is he local to Milwaukee? What I need is somone who can read the old German Script on micofilm for a couple of days after the drowning...thye are available via the Wisconsin State Historical Library...and local libraries.
