    3. Here is an interesting article (forwarded in its entirety) received from a fellow genealogist in the midwest... R/S MAK -----Original Message----- From: Historydocs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 10:03 AM To: Historydocs Cc: Michael Edmonds Subject: Wisconsin Sources Available Online Dear colleague, I thought the two short texts inserted below my signature might interest people who moderate local email lists or edit newsletters. 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. 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" (http://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" A new 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!?

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CONANT, FINCH, WAKEFIELD Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACE/1753 Message Board Post: From the Stevens Point Daily Journal [Stevens Point, Portage Co., Wis.], Thursday Nov. 8, 1900, Page 1 MILK TEAM RUNS AWAY Tom FINCH, proprietor of the CONANT milk wagon, had another runaway this morning. The team started on Strong's Avenue and ran north to Main Street, where, after barely missing several rigs that stood in the street, they turned east and ran as far as the eye could follow them from downtown. The team was left standing for a moment in front of George WAKEFIELD's residence on Strong's Avenue. Probably made impatient by the cold wind blowing at the time, they started off on a walk but soon increased their pace to a mad gallop. At the upper end of Main Street they turned into Illinois Avenue and ran to the FINCH home on Center Street. As they entered the yard, the wagon tipped over and was slightly damaged. A few bottles were smashed and the corks knocked out of others, and about 40 quarts of milk were spilled along the route. One day last summer the same team ran away on Strong's Avenue and was finally stopped in a collision with the Central Depot.

He was driving on North Second Street when his team became frightened and got beyond his control. In some way he was thrown out of the wagon and the wheels passed over his left foot and head. His foot was badly bruised and there was also a severe scalp wound on the head. It is also feared that he received internal injuries which may result fatally. He was taken into the store of Steve KRYGER, where he was attended by Dr. RICE. Later he was removed to a private house and his wife was sent for. He is a man about 50 years of age.

    1. 1930 Census Research - "A Whole New Ball Game"
    2. MAK
    3. We had a guest speaker on WIGenWeb MIRC tonight, with interesting information on the 1930 Census. Below is a transcript of the dialog. Forwarded with permission: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1930 Census Research - "A Whole New Ball Game" Welcome to this discussion of search procedures for the 1930 Federal Census. For the purpose of this discussion, we will assume that everyone has experience in working with previously released census records, both population schedules and Soundex or Miracode index films. ... Today we will deal with the 1930 census (to be released April 1st), and the new and mostly different (and mostly more difficult) procedures that will be required to conduct a successful search. For best results please maximize this window to full screen on your computer. ... As in past years, before going to the census itself it will be necessary to determine the correct ED (Enumeration District) number. ... It is true that in earlier census years it was occasionally possible to have success without knowing the ED number, by conducting a "fishing expedition" through an entire town, township, or county, but for 1930 the chances of success with such a strategy are so remote as to be virtually impossible. ... Determining the ED number will be a more difficult and time-consuming process for 1930 than almost anyone might have imagined. This statement is true for most of us, but not for a fortunate few searching in the 10 states of the deep South (Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, and everything south of them to the Gulf) and in a handful of counties in Kentucky and West Virginia. ... These locations ARE Soundexed for 1930, and they can be searched in exactly the same manner as in 1920. These Soundex films will be released April 1st and available at all NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) branches on that date. There is no name index of any kind available for the remainder of the nation. ... For most of our searches, we must find the ED number in another way. This will require that we know the exact location of our target people. In very rural areas it may be sufficient to simply know the right township or approximate location of our target, but in any city or town (of any size) you will need a street address in order to determine the ED. ... In 1930 a much higher percentage of our population was urban than ever before, and towns were much larger than in previous years. It is true that large parts of the nation were not indexed for 1910, and that no place was Soundexed prior to 1880, and yet these difficulties were usually overcome without great effort. ... This will not be the case for 1930, one can accurately say that it is a whole new ball game. A street address must now be considered a virtual necessity in order to find the ED. ... What if you don't have a street address? Use the time you have before April 1st to go find it! Family sources are often best for this, talk to the older generations in your family, read old obits and announcements, examine old letters and envelopes, voter registration, & ship manifests. ... Check Social Security applications (if they did not move during the 30's), previous census records (more on this later), telephone and other directories, birth, death, & marriage records, court cases, scrapbooks, school, church and employment records, naturalizations, et cetera. Among the best and easiest to use sources are old city directories. ... City Directories can be found in many libraries around the country. NARA has purchased an extensive set of city directories for the years close to 1930. These city directories, which are not government records, are available at all the NARA branches. ... A complete list of the cities and years for which city directories are available at NARA can be found at the NARA website at http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/citydirs.html Be sure to check the alphabetical listings for your target people in several years (e.g. 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931) if available. Record all street addresses found. ... I HAVE THE STREET ADDRESS, NOW WHAT? You need to determine the correct ED, using one of several available methods. The best of these methods, available for over 50 cities and some counties, is microfilm series M1931 (7 rolls). This is a cross index to city streets and ED's for the 1930 census. ... See the following NARA webpage: http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930census_city_streets.html With M1931 you can quickly and accurately determine the ED your street address is in. Only about 30 of the 100 largest cities in 1930 are found cross indexed in M1931. ... A group of census experts (and NARA volunteers) from California has extended the indexing effort to all the top 100 cities. This effort, known as ITWIT (no, not nitwit...), has created an outstanding and extremely useful website at http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/ ... I urge all of you to visit this site, and be sure to click on the frequently asked questions button. This site has been operational for less than ten days, but is already considered indispensable for 1930 census work. This site is available online (not at NARA except those NARA branches that offer internet access) and will help you to quickly and accurately determine the ED by inputting the street address. ... A few notes about using ITWIT. The directional designator must be properly used for the right result. For example, my grandfather in 1930 lived in Seattle on Alder Street. In Seattle then and now locations are usually given by the street name, omitting the E, W, etc. The official address of his house was on E. Alder, half a block from where it is simply Alder St. ... Inputting Alder St. (the common usage) into ITWIT yields several ED's, none of which was his correct one. Only when E. Alder St. was input did the correct ED come up. ... Another thing to bear in mind with ITWIT is that it is brand new, essentially a very good rough draft, and minor errors will show up. For example, my grandfather's old house in Los Angeles now in 1930 belonged to his brother. It was on W. 93rd St. between Broadway and Figueroa. ... M1931, T1224, and M1930 (see below for the latter two) all clearly show that this street was a boundary between two ED's, meaning that houses on different sides of the street were in different ED's. ITWIT however only shows one ED for this street, so if that house were across the street its correct ED would not show up. These minor errors are being corrected constantly as soon as they are found. ... If your location is not covered by either M1931 or ITWIT, we have several more finding aids available. Even if you think you have the right ED using either of the above methods, it is a good idea to use these next methods to double check. ... The next best method available is microfilm series T1224 (30 rolls for 1930), Geographic Descriptions of census ED's. This aid gives a complete description, sometimes block by block in cities, of every one of the over 120,000 ED's used in 1930 for the whole nation. It can be extremely helpful in rural areas or small towns, but in large cities the previously mentioned methods are usually the best first choice. ... Many people had very high hopes when it was announced that the complete series of ED maps for 1930 for the whole nation would be filmed and available through NARA. This film series is M1930 (36 rolls), containing over 8300 maps. ... Unfortunately, the quality of the maps vary, and in most cases this series is of less use than the aids previously mentioned, although useful as a cross check. NARA branches also have available larger and easier to read hard copies of many of these maps, but it can still be nearly impossible in large cities to determine the ED using this method. ... If you have located your target in the 1920 census, and are certain that they have not moved for 1930, you can use the 1920 ED and the street address to find the 1930 ED in T1224. T1224 cross references the 1930 ED numbers to those used for the same location in 1920. ... Care must be taken in this however, since most 1920 ED's comprise from 2 to as many as 8 different ED's in 1930. Combining this with use of the street address while searching T1224 will give the best results. ... The final step is to search the census itself. You go to the correct state, county, and ED. For rural areas you will have to perform a line by line search of the entire ED, but for towns and cities you will probably be able to search the left hand margin of the census sheets looking for the street name and ultimately the house number, then checking for the desired name. ... To sum up, here are the seven different finding aids I have listed above: ... Soundex name indexing films (deep South only) City Directories films (for finding street address) M1931 films (use street address to find ED) ITWIT (use street address to find ED) (not available at NARA, only online) T1224 films (use street address or 1920 ED to find 1930 ED) M1930 films (use street address to find ED) Hard copies of ED maps (use street address to find ED) ... Of all the aids I have mentioned, everything but the Soundex and the census itself is available for use right now. These finding aids are not in heavy use at present, but are expected to be in high demand after April 1st. Use of the online ITWIT site can also be expected to soar after April. ... NARA expects that usage of its research rooms will skyrocket in April, and usage of microfilm reading machines will be strictly limited to two hours when we are in a waiting list situation. We anticipate that this will be the case at essentially all times from April 1st until about August 1st. Some NARA branches handle the rush differently, often by a reservation system. Check with the branch you are interested in visiting. ... The average successful 1920 census search takes about 20 minutes. We believe that the average successful 1930 search will take about 3-4 hours. This is roughly ten times as long, and many of our patrons will find this frustrating. To make matters worse, the 2 hour limit when others are waiting for a machine will mean that most people will have to be interrupted before completing a successful search. ... Since most of the necessary resources are available right now when they are under utilized, and since the facilities will be so overtaxed very soon, it makes sense to do as much of the work now as possible. I urge everyone to get to work on their 1930 searches as soon as they can. ... WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME WHEN I COME TO NARA? As with most research, the more information you bring with you, the more you can learn and the more successful your research. Try whenever possible to bring the following information and items with you when you come to NARA to do 1930 census research: ... Complete names and ages of everyone you expect to find in the family. Street address for 1930. City or town if street address is unknown. Census information for the family in 1920, including street address and ED number. Bring change for the copy machines and donation jar. ... In addition, I strongly recommend that you print out and bring two maps for each street address or location you are searching. I use one close up map showing the exact address and covering only a few city blocks, and a second map zoomed out to show major streets and arterials for a couple miles in each direction. These are available at several locations online, as well as several street mapping programs on CD-ROM. ...

    1. HOLTE (Carl John)
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BERGHOLTE, HOLTE, LOBERG Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACE/1746 Message Board Post: Reply to: Jeanette Deer <[email protected]> Your email indicated that your HOLTE connection was from PortageCoWI. I did a search and did not find that name in a posting - perhaps you should be more specific where you found it??? Also, I transcribe, so I do not have any records other than what is listed on the site. A quick internet search shows only one HOLTE in PortageCoWI, but not a Carl. http://library.uwsp.edu/Obits/ Holte, P. W. Mrs. Loberg, Anna Mathilda SPDJ 16 Sept 1949 Also many BERGHOLTE surnames came up. http://library.uwsp.edu/cemetery/ Holte, Anna M. nee Loberg 12 Mar 1876 - 10 Sept 1949 Nelsonville Lutheran Also many BERGHOLTE surnames came up.
