Surnames: Head Classification: Census Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4EC.2ACE/967 Message Board Post: Reply to: Annette Campbell <anncamp@linkny.com+++> Contrary to popular belief - not all webpages are attached to a search engine, depends on what server, the services offered, and the webmaster. With FREE genealogy, you get what you pay for (grin)... Even with a search engine, the service depends upon the webmaster and the server, as when new pages are added, the search engine has to be re-indexed - so, it might take a few hours, to a few weeks, depending upon the schedule. However, If you check out the main pages of MonroeCoWI http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe - there are three separate search engines - if you don't find your surname name - it doesn't mean they were not there, only that the information may not be on the website. In addition, you can search all Rootsweb server at: http://rootsweb.com/ Go to Search Engines and databases.

NEWLAND LOIS BELLE HEAD 8 Nov 1877 Monroe WI Be sure to check out Monroe County Local History Museum and Research Room http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe/MCLHMaRR/ They are a non-profit organization - and will do lookups - I suggest you snail mail with SASE. They are free, but gladly accept donations - all donations go to support their work.... Be sure to give them given names and approx dates to help narrow the search. I am not related to nor have any additional information on these surnames. If there is a question of error in this transcription, please consult the original documents. R/S MAK http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe +++ I have looked all over all these various Monroe Co, WI websites for a search engine to search the cemeteries. I can't find one, can you tell me where to look for it. I know there must be one as no one posts all these cemeteries without one. All I found was one that searched the census. I already have all that at me disposal. I need to find the family of Alanson HEAD and his wife Lucinda and their children who all lived in Monroe County, WI, coming there from my home state of New York. Thanks for any help.
