I'm recently new to genalogy research but I'm trying to find information about Shirley Siebeck(er?). I have that she married a Wally Zirk and they had 3 children. I've recently been told that Shirley is/was married to John Brand as well. Shirley's parents are Agatha Joas and Gilbert Siebeck(er?). She has a brother, Ronald, but I haven't found an informaion about him either. Any information that anyone might have would be much appreciated. Thanks! - Amanda __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com

FYI: Forwarded from another list: The free lecture on Indian Mounds in Wisconsin, which was to have been offered the week of the September 11 bombings, has been rescheduled. Lake Park Friends in Milwaukee is bringing in the authors of the recent book about Wisconsin mounds, Robert Birmingham and Leslie Eisenberg. Eisenberg just returned from New York and was quoted in today's Milwaukee Journal in an article about the difficulties of identifying the many dead there in the World Trade Center collapse. She acts as a forensic pathologist for the State Historical Society and volunteered her time for several weeks to assist in the extraordinary efforts necessary following this disaster in New York. Birmingham also works for the SHS of Wisconsin, as the state anthropologist. Please mark your calendar for 7 pm on October 17. That's next Wednesday. The lecture will be given in the community room of Lake Park Pavilion, where the Bistro restaurant occupies the first floor. The Pavilion is off the east end of Newberry Blvd, a few blocks from UWM. Parking is free, the lecture is free too. For more information, please call Delores, past president of the Friends, at 414) 332-0994. ===== =========================== MAK = "Mar sea ah Ann Keel" WI ACS http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigenweb/ MAKs Sites http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/links/MAK.html =========================== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Has anyone seen a death record for a person who was mauled or killed by a bear in the 1890 to 1920 time period? I know today that with the national tragedy recently, they are issuing death records, without a body, so the families can go on with their lives. Susanne [email protected]

A BIG BIG Thank you to Joan M Benner who is transcribing the 1860 census for our WoodCoWI pages. Awhile back, she completed Hemlock and Dexter. Today, I just finished uploading PART of Grand Rapids for her. It is kinda big, so loads a little slower than the others. But it is worth the wait if your ancestor is on it... Check it out at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/census/1860-gr.html Other links made available by Joan, are at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/resource/BENNERjm/l-joanb.htm Again, thanks Joan.

Hi I'm investigating a murder that happen in 1876 in the town of Wellington. My GGGrandfather, Dewitt Perry, was shot and killed by his Brother-in-Law, Frank Burris. Does anyone know where the court records from that time are being kept? Thank you Steve Arndt

I have extensive information on these lines. The Larue line is the greater portion, with the other lines having married into the Larue line. I am interested in tracking all know descendants in the James Larue line, and would love to hear from others in this line. The Larues and the related lines came into Monroe County @1855-57 and most lived around the Dorset/Wilton area originally. Denise Denise

This last week, we have all experienced tremendous shock, pain, sadness, and disbelief. We each have dealt with this tragedy in our own private way. For me, it was a time of inner reflection. This is the memorial sent to my friends and family, and now, I share with you: http://www2.bluemountain.com/cards/boxb226668c4/dermxs42p2ai9rs.html Please feel free to share with others.

Hi Danielle, Thanks for the information on the location of Trout Falls. We have an ancestor whose place of residence (farm) was Trout Falls in the late 1800's and I wonder just what it might have been --a village, post office or just a "wide spot in the road" before it was destroyed. Does your dad remember anything about what it used to be like? I do not have access to the Monroe Co. Pictorial History 1976 book you mentioned. Do you have a copy of the book I could purchase? Or do you refer to a copy of the Trout Creek photos you would be willing to send? Either way, I appreciate your kind offer and will happily reimburse you for all costs. Please do let me know. Thank you again so very much. My mailing address is: Larayne Carey 4610 Richey Rd. Yakima, WA 98908

There is a Trout Falls in the Fort McCoy area. My dad says it isn't anything like it used to be. In fact, I have my Aunt's copy of the Monroe County Pictorial History 1976. It has some photos of Trout Creek around 1900. According to the book, it was destroyed by artillary fire of training troops. If you don't have any access to this book, I would be willing to send you a copy.

Does anyone know whether there is or ever was a place in Monroe (or neighboring county) called "Trout Falls"? Thanks, L. Carey of Washington state, researching BOWLER and STACK of Sparta- LaFayette area in Monroe.

I am looking for information on the children of Emil and Chloe (BAKER) HUNT who were living in Monroe County from 1914 until their deaths in the 1960's. I have ancestral information to share/swap if you are interested. I would greatly appreciate any help you are able to offer.

For those of you who received a ton of email or sent email asking about the Rootsweb Boards and Ancestory.com, there were problems this weekend with some people not being able to get to one, the either, or both. Appears that everything is resolved temporarily, however, For future reference, refer them to: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ Rootsweb is usually pretty good about posting what is going on there...

To paraphrase an old Radio/TV program: Those Are My Lines.....! Patsy: We've corresponded before, so you have my connection to the BRAMAN/SPOONER lines in an E-mail from last June. If you can scan the photos and send them to me, I will be happy to identify the ones that I know. I would assume that we have similar photos, as our families were close and exchanged things frequently. I can't remember where you live, or even if I have an address for you, but if you're anywhere near Tomah, Wisconsin, there are a couple of other ways to identify your photos.... Did you ever check on the reference I mentioned to you in June? The Elder John Crandall Of Rhode Island And His Descendants - by John Cortland Crandall - New Woodstock, New York 1949 - has quite a bit of data concerning our older BRAMAN and SPOONER relatives. I've done a bit of work with that book, but because I've been focusing on the more recent generations, haven't spent a lot of time on it. For some reason or other, my BRAMAN family focused on Roswell Emerson Braman and Chloe Spooner's descendants, and primarily on those who remained in close touch with Tomah! By the way, did you see the Editorial concerning Tomah in the Friday New York Times? Interesting..... It mentions the Tee Pee restaurant, and that was a theater that my grandfather, Roy Smith, built in the 1920's. It was a stable, but my grandfather and great grand uncle, Mark Johnson, turned it into a movie house during the days when they had stage shows (Wild Bill Hitchcock, Dunninger the magician, etc.) as well. He was in the theater business for many years. Perhaps that's where I got the notion! Best wishes.

Patsy, Ask and relatives still living, old friends of the family, old neighbors, (anyone old) who might know who they are. I don't know if the MCLHR has a spot, but some places will allow you to put them on display with a sheet of paper underneath for people to look at and jot down their comments. Compare with old photos of people you do know - you may be able to then at least determine which family you are looking at. A good resource for trying to pin the date the picture was taken and other clues within is called "Unlocking the Secrets in Old Photographs" by Karen Frisch-Ripley. It is in paperback and can be ordered through ancestry.com and probably most bookstores as well.
