Heads up. There is a new scam - sending you a warning about a virus with icon bunny in your Windows system. It tells you to delete a file.... It is a HOAX...

My mother and I are doing genealogy on the family. Goszkowicz is listed in the Jewish archives of Belarusian names, however, the family is Polish Catholic. Some members of the family dropped the first z, to Goskowicz. other variations of the Goszkowicz that are found include Gorzkowicz and Greugowitz Goszkowicz is a name peculiar only to Portage County, WI, so any variations should be relatives. Two olympic skaters (Tony and Julie Goskowicz) should be related. Keep in touch and we can share informations. Joanne Knoxville, Tennnessee

Surnames: BURNS Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACE/1796 Message Board Post: From the Stevens Point Daily Journal [Portage Co. WI], Saturday June 8, 1901, Page 1 John E. BURNS died at his home at Junction Friday evening after a short illness with pneumonia, with which he had been suffering since the previous Tuesday. However, he has not been in good health for many years and worried a great deal over his condition. He was appointed joint agent of the Central and Milwaukee roads in 1880 and has held the office continuously ever since, except for a few months spent in the south for his health. He was a very efficient officer and served his companies well. He was also very careful of his personal finances, and although he received only a small salary he leaves considerable property. The deceased was 42 years old and leaves a widow and four children. The body was taken this morning to his old home at Fox Lake, where the funeral will be held Monday.

Feel free to run them in your printed or email newsletter, forward them to your members, or place a link anywhere on a site you maintain. If you want to expand or edit these paragraphs, feel free to visit the web sites below and select any text there that would be helpful. If this message isn't appropriate for your organization, please accept my apologies. I thought the people with whom you communicate might like to learn about these two new services at the Wisconsin Historical Society's Web site. Finally, watch for us at NGS in Milwaukee next week. Several members of our staff are on the program, and we'll be in booth 511 throughout the conference. If you'll be there, please drop by and say hello. Best wishes, Michael Edmonds Deputy Director Library/Archives Division Wisconsin Historical Society 608-264-6538 1. "Wisconsin Local History on the Web" The Wisconsin Historical Society Library recently mounted more collections on the World Wide Web for genealogists and local historians. "Wisconsin Local History & Biography Articles" (www.wisconsinhistory.org/wlhba/index.asp) contains nearly 16,000 local newspaper articles published statewide between 1860 and 1940. These consist mainly of pioneer reminiscences, portraits of community institutions, interviews with early settlers, strange anecdotes of eccentric personalities, and other grass-roots information. These real stories of real people have not been altered in any way; images of the original newspaper articles display on the researcher's screen. All of them are easy to search by personal name or a variety of subject headings, about 50,000 pages of local history and genealogy in all. There is no charge to use this collection. It is made possible by funding from the Wisconsin Dept. of Public instruction through the Library Services and Technology Act and through a very generous donation from the late Scott M. Cutlip, a UW-Madison professor of mass communications. If you have any questions about the website, contact Michael Edmonds, Deputy Director, Library/Archives Division, Wisconsin Historical Society, at [email protected], or use the feedback buttons on the web site. 2. "Order Wisconsin Vital Records Online" An online service from the Wisconsin Historical Society lets you order a search of Wisconsin's pre-1907 birth, marriage and death records over the Internet. Vital records are a fundamental information source for genealogists. They can reveal minute details about a person such as birth, marriage or death date, birth place, maiden name, and religious affiliation, as well as information about their parents. Genealogists use them as stepping stones to other valuable sources such as obituaries and census records. Requesting a search online is quite simple. After receiving your instructions and credit card payment via our secure Web site, staff trained in researching Wisconsin vital records will carefully search for the records you specify and send photocopies of their findings. All orders are guaranteed to ship within 4 weeks; rush service is also available for an additional charge. For more information, including the fee schedule, visit the Society's Online Genealogical Research Service at http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/ogrs/index.html or contact Michael Edmonds, Deputy Director, Library/Archives Division, Wisconsin Historical Society, at [email protected] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I've seen that he was supposed to be born in Indiana on the net but according to my great great grandfather's vital statistics he was born in New York and Eugenia (even though it does not mention her name) was born in Pennsylvania. I'd appreciate the information if you would like to share it. I'm about 95% positive that Wilford or Melford and Eugenia are my gggGrandparents.
