This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Walotka Classification: Census Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACE/2244.1 Message Board Post: Did you check the Portage County Courthouse records for Thomas Walotka's death record? It isn't always possible to find the answers on the internet - nothing was found on a Thomas Walotka - perhaps there is an alternate spelling? In response to questions concerning sources on transcriptions - The entire transcription was posted on everything that was found on WALOTKA - these are secondary sources - you would have to find the primary sources in a library - or other type archives. These lookups are for Portage County - if they lived in another county, state, or county - for best results, you should place your query there. In response to immigration for Wawrazyn Walotka - similar name on third line - reread the post.
