Posted on: Pierce Co. Wi Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/Pierce/56 Surname: Almquist, Sorenson, Johnson, Wennenberg ------------------------- Gustaf O. Almquist homesteaded in Pierce County Wisconsin. He came from Sweden on the Nymphen in 1871 with his wife, Helene Regine Sorenson. Already settled in Pierce county were Helene's sisters, Mrs Martha Wennerberg and Mrs Christiana Johnson. Christiana was the wife of Per Johnson.

I want to thank you all for all of the VERY positive responses. Many of the mail list administrators have stated it is all right to continue to post the reminders I am choosing not too. I did not solely join the county mail lists to place a weekly reminder on them. I felt I could contribute to others research not only by having a gathering place (weekly chat), but I have also answered many questions for many different researchers on the various county mail lists. I was hoping to help others. Should anyone need information on the Wisconsin Genealogy weekly chat-I have this information posted on the Waupaca County Website at the following address http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/index.htm. I will will continue to post chat reminders on the Waupaca County mail list, WauShaOcon Mail List and Wisconsin Mail List. Hope you all break through those brick walls and find those lost ancestors-have a great week!

Hi: I have added a service which allows you to monitor changes to the "What's New" page. As this is where all updates go, you would be notified automatically by email when any changes are made to the site. It is private and you will not receive junk mail unless you choose to sign up for their publications. If you use this, I would be interested in feedback when changes are made as to how the service is working and if it is valuable to you.
