Does anyone know why a group of people would migrate from Maine and NY to live in Wisconsin in the 1800's. My family did this but would like to know why they did. Thanks

I saw this on eBay for auction. Thought someone might be interested from the PALMER family. Karla http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=286826127

I saw a postcard for auction on eBay that someone on this list might be interested in. I have no personal interest in it so if you have questions please contact the lister. Karla http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=286446700 It is being sent to a Fred Ebel in Pendleton, OR. and it appears to be written to "Dear Papa," I can't make out on the photo who it is signed by. Description: Great real photo postcard showing a company of soldiers marching to the Tomah, Wisconsin, train depot. Writing on the back tells this company is headed for Camp Douglas in Arizona and then to Mexico for the Mexican War. All soldiers carry a rifle and a bed roll. Young boys run along side, older men are walking along with the company. A boy with a bass drum is in front. An American flag is carried ab the back of the company. Unique card depicting some forgotten United States history. Card is used with 1916 cancel. Has a bumped corner, but otherwise in near good condition.

- Plans Finalized to Dispose of 2000 Census Paperwork In the December 18, 1999 edition of this newsletter, I wrote about U.S. National Archives and records Administration's plan to dispose of non-essential paperwork created while creating the 2000 census. In that article, I wrote: The National Archives and Records Administration has received the records disposition schedules for the records that have been and will be created as a result of the Census 2000. They are contacting many constituent groups, seeking public input. The National Archives also published a notice about the same topic in the Federal Register on Dec. 13, 1999. In short, the Year 2000 census will generate a lot of paperwork. Genealogists will be quite aware of the records produced that list names, addresses and vital demographic material. However, many hundreds of thousands of other documents will be produced, including address lists and map update records, block canvassing, special place and group quarters inventories, local updates to census address lists, new construction lists, updates or revisions to census maps in electronic format, update/leave questionnaires, urban update/leave questionnaires, list enumeration and address registers, updates and revisions to the Master Address File, questionnaires, maps, and address registers created for special enumerations, respondent data collected by telephone assistance and through the Internet response program, operations and control records, electronic images of scanned paper questionnaires, unprocessed electronic source files of information captured from the electronic images, the Decennial Response File, the Census Unedited File, the Census Unedited File Sample, the Census Edited File, the Census Edited File Sample, the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (ACE) address lists, ACE telephone interview records, personal interview records and maps, dual system estimates, ACE support and management records, Census 2000 contracts and related records, census pretest records, research, evaluation, and experimental program records, and records created using electronic mail and word processing applications. (Whew!) The U.S. Census Bureau, not the National Archives, conducts the census. However, the National Archives will be storing the records for use by future generations. Their big question is, "Which records are worth keeping?" Storing everything will require more storage warehouses to be built at taxpayer expense. Keeping every scrap of paper is simply not practical. Someone has to make a decision as to what to keep and what to throw away. The National Archives is inviting public comments in order to help in that decision process. Genealogy societies are especially invited to comment. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has now completed the appraisal report and the revisions to Disposition Job No. N1-29-00-02, a comprehensive record schedule that proposes dispositions for 62 series and subseries of Census 2000 records, including the scanned image files of the paper questionnaires and forms. The proposed final report is available online at: http://www.nara.gov/records/schedules/census2.html

Dear Audrey, I sent you an e-mail but not sure if you got it. Please excuse if you did. I was hoping I could get a copy of the wedding certificate and birth of the children born in Wisconsin. Thanks for your time and effort. Please let me know how much it will cost and I will send the check immediately. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 13, 2000 3:27 PM Subject: [WIMONROE] Rich/Boynton Marriage date > Subj: Re: Fwd: [WIMONROE] Rich/Boynton > Date: 3/13/00 10:24:28 AM Pacific Standard Time > From: [email protected] (Audrey Johnson) > To: [email protected], [email protected] > > Mr. Spencer > The marriage took place on October 7, 1860.

Hi, how close is the cemetery from you? I had a contact with someone who lives close but haven't heard back. If I can't contact her could I get you to take pictures for me? I will compensate you for your time.

Hello! Since there seem to be people on the list who live in the WI area, I thought I would take a stab at this. I am having a hard time finding out anything about my grandparents. Every time I come upon a new name, it's just as hard as the previous. Anyway, I was curious if anyone knows of any families with the names RAYMOND, NOYSE or KEHTEL? My grandmother, Grace Elizabeth RAYMOND was born in Sparta, but was not registered. She was born in 1900. Her parents were Charles Henry RAYMOND and Harriett NOYSE RAYMOND. (I am waiting for the 1900 census index to come in.) I am assuming (I know, I know!) that she got married there also. I really have no idea and neither does the family. It would possibly have been around 1921 or so, as their first child was born in APR 1922. I was wondering if there was any way I could find out what Methodist Churches existed at each time? I know she was very devout in her faith, although she converted to Catholic when she married grandpa. I don't know which she would have been married in? Any clues or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Donna Austin, TX [email protected]

Rollie, again I want to thank you so much. It was Clark Co. I remembered a referenece to Neilsville. Monroe County just never sounded quite right to me. So now I am at least in the right county. Thanks to you for answering my question. Judy

There is a Boynton family cemetary also near Tunnel City in Monroe County.
