I have two old photos that I can't identify. If you have ties to Ontario or St. Mary's Ridge, Monroe County, Wisconsin, USA, I would appreciate it if you would take a look at them. They are from the estate of Amelia (Schmitz) Williams. Her family came from the Ontario and St. Mary's Ridge area. Related family names are Schmitz, Brueggen, Rademacher/Radamacher, Williams, Alton.

Though I do not have family in this cemetary that I know of, I think the format and display of information is wonderful. Congratulations on a job well done! Diana Tom and Diana Morse Rayco Award Ribbons http://www.prizeribbon.com

Kitty Rose Sorry, but I don't think you can do anything about the census. I was wondering too how they would put the information on forms for the genealogist in the future. I would guess they are not too concerned with it. At least we do keep records now and the computer will make it easier. Don't give up hope. And for your family today, just keep good records to pass on.

Hi Verna, I was just cleaning out my email when I came across this again. I just took the time to try and find what little I have on Hotelling (Houghtelling etc.) but I didn't find much. My father's grandmother was a Houghtelling. There are a number of spellings. For some reason I believe that they came from New York. In the Monroe Co birth records I found Hotelling, Ada Isabel b. 14 Aug 1875 (vol. 44, page 77) and Houghtaling, Adrian Dewey b. 24 May 1898 (vol. 49, page 228). In Monroe Co. Marriages I found the following: 1. Hotailing, Lydia Ann, m. Robert Hall (page 125, vol. 1) date 4 July 1864 2. Hotelling, Isabel, m. Parmer Van Vorhees, (page 17, vol. 2) 7 Nov. 1869 3. Houghtailing, Minnie F., m. William A Fliedner (page 400, vol. 3) date, 19 July 1901 4. Houghtaling, Barney, m. Gertie Woodward (page 358, vol. 3) date, 3 July 1900 5. Houghtaling, Henry, m. Hannah E Brown (page 88, vol. 3) date, 27 April 1893 6. Houghtaling, Henry F., m. Samatha Wilson (page 189, vol. 2) date, 23 Jan 1890 7. Houghtaling, John, m. Ida M. Flick (page 128, vol. 3) date, 11 July 1894 8. Houghtaling, John, m. Lydia Hillyer (page 70, vol. 3) date, 11 Oct 1892 9. Houghtaling, Mary, m. James Kenyon (page 65, vol. 2) date, 25 July 1876 10. Houghtaling, Nancy, m. Samuel E. Brooks (page 114, vol. 1) date, 25 Oct 1863 11. Houghtelling, Frances, m. Edward J. Williams (page 84, vol. 2) date, 18 Dec 1878 Number 11 is my great grand mother. My dad's mother was a Fliedner so number 3 is probably a shirt tail relation. The only other thing I've done so far is check our USGENWEB and I found some listed in New York as I thought I might (I just don't remember why I thought they came from NY). In the Mt. Albion Cemetery, Rt. 31, Town of Albion, Orleans CO, NY I found the following: 1. Houghtaling, Charles S., b. 24 May 1866, d. 30 Jan 1910 in N.Y.C., NY (husb) 2. Houghtaling, Clara M., b. May 1856, d. 6 Nov 1922 (wife) 3. Houghtaling, Sheldon E., b. 30 April 1815, d. 14 July 1880 in Albion, NY (father) 4. Houghtaling John E, b. 1848, d. 1 Dec 1853, (son) 5. Houghtaling, Mary E. Powell, b. 1 Jan 1822, d. 25 Aug 1890 in Albion, NY (mother) >From the first Federal Census in 1790, in the area that became Delaware County NY in 1797: Column 1 gives the enumerator's number in each township. Column 2 lists the head of the household. Column 3, Free White males of 16 years and upward including the head of the household. Column 4, Free White males under 16 years of age. Column 5, Free White females including heads of families. Column 6, All other free persons. Column 7, Slaves. 1. 264 Houghtaling, Hermanus 1 1 2 0 Kortright 2. 265 Houghtaling, Jacob 3 0 5 0 Kortright 3. 263 Houghtaling, John 4 0 3 0 Kortright I also found a listing for an Edith Grace Houghtaling, 2nd wife of Herbert Leroy Mason (from WI). Her parents were Aaron Houghtaling, b. Albany CO. NY, her mother was Ursula Hawes, b. Lorraine Co., OH, d. 5 Feb 1887 Oxford, WI, age 43. Edith and Herbert were maried 13 May 1894 and lived in Jackson. I also have some from the 1800 Federal Census in NY and some that were with the 144th NY State Volunteers if you want those. Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Maybe what I have will give you some things to look at anyway.

Hi Everyone.. Many of us and our fellow genealogists helped Colleen win the last round of the contest. http://members.aol.com/whopbof2/vote.html to check out the final winners.. Colleen's is: Bowers Family Homestead.. for any spelling of Bower, Bauer etc.. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/4501 We are ready for the final contest... Let's support her and genealogy by Voting at the times she has listed below on Wednesday ONLY>>>>>> Look at the web counter at the bottom of the main page.. Colleen has lots of traffic and for good reason~ Thanks for helping and all your support last time as well as this time Brenda K. Wolfgram Moore http://members.aol.com/kingsley/mailist.html [email protected] __________________ Hi Family, Okay cousins, everything we've been working all month for is now before us. The second round of the site fight began this morning at midnight. Tomorrow [Wednesday] is the day we all need to vote for our home. I'm sending this message out today because some of you wanted to have time to tell your friends, relatives and coworkers. Here are the guidelines: The voting site is at -- http://members.aol.com/whopbof2/vote.html If you have multiple e-mail addies you can place a vote using each address. AOL members can only vote once with their AOL addresses; however, if you have web based e-mail address[es], you can use them. Note that there is a number counter just below the voting form. You'll need the number from that counter to put on your form. If you vote using multiple addresses, you'll need to MAKE SURE THE NUMBER COUNTER below the voting form CHANGES each time you vote. Just hit reload and the page should change numbers. If the number doesn't change when you hit reload [or refresh] close out the page and go back in - that should do it. Voting is from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. EDT tomorrow [Wednesday] ONLY. For you international cousins, I'll copy and paste the hour differences [from the first round we were in] between your country and the US east coast at the bottom of this message. [For our newbies] - If you or anyone else wants to see the Homestead, it's at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/4501 Please ask everyone you know with an e-mail address [or two or three] to vote for the Homestead, okay? We can use all the support we can get! You'll have to use your fingers [and maybe your toes] to take it from here to get yourself ahead or back to U.S. EST time ~~ At 11:35 a.m. U.S. EST on Tuesday, 29 February it is: 08:35 a.m. in U.S. PST and in Canada [BC] 09:35 a.m. in U.S. MST and in Canada [MT & AB] 10:35 a.m. in U.S. CST and in Canada [SK & MB] 01:35 p.m. in Canada [NS & NF] 04:35 p.m. in England, Wales and Scotland 05:35 p.m. in Germany and Switzerland 06:35 p.m. in South Africa 03:35 a.m. in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday, 1 March 05:35 a.m. in New Zealand on Wednesday, 1 March I _think_ that covers everyone in the family! The idea here is to gear your time to anywhere from 12:01a.m. to 11:59p.m. 5 April in the U.S. eastern time zone for this voting. Colleen If you have any questions, I'll stay online and keep my e-mail open tonight till 11p.m. MST and will be back online Wednesday from 7a.m. till 11p.m. We can do this! :) Colleen

Hello, I'm about to get windy,but can't help it. I am so ticked off over this 2000 census? that I could spit. I just finished writing to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Washington DC expressing my disgust over this 2000 census, As an Historian I was wondering if you could tell me how to generate a letter campaign complaining about the prejudice against women, and vital information, like place of origin ,maiden names, and the like. I filled out the worthless piece of paper and sent it back but I am real ticked off about it. Sorry Audrey but your the one I thought of, as might knowing how to get something started.

REMINISCENCES OF A WISCONSIN PIONEER MISSIONARY Emigrating in 1848 from North Brabant, Holland at the age of seven, Chrysostom Verwyst arrived at the port of Boston and eventually made his way to Wisconsin. This database is a narrative written by him and originally published in 1916. It contains his account of settling in Brown County, attending Catholic seminary near Milwaukee during the Civil War, and joining the Franciscan order in 1883. Chronicling his pastoral travels, it provides descriptions of such communities as New London, Keshena, Hudson, Seneca, Duluth, and Superior. Additionally, it recounts a variety of festive celebrations and agricultural practices. For those Ancestry.com patrons attempting to better understand the life of Midwest Catholics in the nineteenth century, this can be a helpful narrative. Source Information: Library of Congress.

Hi everyone, just touching bases with the list. Audrey at the Monroe Local History Room is willing to do some look-ups, when they have the time. NOW>> in order to have this service the things to help them ... help us...... please follow these steps to insure an answer First, be as complete in your query as possible: example Looking for::::::::: BIRTH RECORD for Emil/Amel Wolfgram date: possible 1857 parents, if known:::: They don't need a long story.. just the essentials. ONLY >> ask for one or two things in a query...... The policy of the Local History room is to send 3 or 4 pieces of paper.. as it gets mailed for one postal stamp. After that they need to have postage and copy fees paid. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS like >>>>>>>>> "Please send me any information on My Relative." "Who is my grandfather" "Send me all you have on this family" NOW>> in my opinion.. if the History room is able to help supply you with paper data, the least we, as genealogist, can do is reply with a donation. Amount depending on what they do for you. Never forget... you cannot drive there and back to your home for the monies you are paying any person who does lookups for any of us. Again, this is my opinion. Now.. to send donations .. use this address Audrey Johnson, County Historian Monroe County Local History Room 200 W.
