Jim, I wonder...did you find Franklin and Charlotte in the 1910 census?? How much younger was Charlotte?? According to what you have here, (1837) he would have been around 70 when he married her! Is his birthdate correct? Not that it is impossible to sire children at that age...but! Kathy At 08:04 PM 05/05/2000 -0500, you wrote: >Franklin Earl Heiney was born around 1837 in Pennsylvania.

Franklin Earl Heiney was born around 1837 in Pennsylvania. He migrated to Sauk County, probably in the late 1800's, and married my grandmother, Charlotte Kessler Adank around 1907 or 1908. My mother, Irene Elaine Heiney, was born February 9, 1908. I am trying to find out where Franklin Heiney went. He evidently divorced Charlotte (Lottie) about 1911 or 12, and then just disappeared from the Sauk County scene. They did have another child, Walter Heiney, before Franklin took off. If anyone knows the whereabouts of old Franklin, I would like to hear from you. Thanks, Jim Allin

Ever want the chance to bring your photo, dress, book, certificate or other family momentos to a professional archivist and find the best method to preserve those keepsakes for generations? Saturday, May 6th is your chance. Mr Montgomery, a recently retired professional archivist will be speaking in Dodgeville. This is a hands-on-workshop where in the afternoon you will encapsulate a small item. (for this project please bring a small paper/photo/cloth item) Also bring along your preservation problem items for guidance from a professional. This workshop is sponsored by the Iowa County Genealogical Society. http://www.friendsnfamily.net/wiiowagensoc/workshop2000.html Registrations * after April 22 * will not get the early discount price. A soup/sandwich lunch is included. http://www.friendsnfamily.net/wiiowagensoc/register.html Visit Dodgeville -home of the oldest active courthouse in Wisconsin. http://www.township.dodgeville.wi.us/

That's old information. The Register of Deeds office is at 505 Broadway, Baraboo, WI 53913; phone 608-355-3288. They don't like to do over the phone searches. It is best to write them and be specific. They turn any letters that look like research over to the historical society because they do not have the staff nor the time to look for items. The Register in Probate is still at 515 Oak Street, Baraboo 53913, phone 608-355-3226. Again, they would prefer letters and not phone calls. If you are looking for records prior to 1916, the Sauk County Historical Society has the paper. We also have the ledgers up to the 1970's. The papers are indexed and do not take time to see if we have the probate papers. We just need the name. If papers are to be copied, the hourly research fee applies ($15.00). That is also the fee that applies if we are to search the ledgers. Researchers may come to the Society and do their own research. Copies are 15 center per copy. As of May 6th, we are closed on Mondays and open from 12-5 Tuesday through Sunday.

Hi Colleen, Thank you so much for your description of research in Sauk Co. It is most helpful. I have not found anything on the Hills or Brownells recently. Did you find anything or were you searching your other families? We had hoped to go to Wisc. in the summer, but are going to Sweden in July to visit Ken's grandparents' farms. So we are postponing it to September if we are not too tired. I hate to wait until next year as I am not getting any younger. Thanks again.

So I was very pleased to read the emails that just came from Colleen and from Kathy... I have a lot of information re: my Sauk county lines, but need lots more (don't most of us?!?). Colleen's info re: Sauk county sources will be very helpful if/when I get to that area again. Kathy's info re: research done by Sauk County Historical Society tells me how to get research help if I can't get to Sauk. And many thanks to Leslie for passing this info on.

Here is an email I got from Kathy Waddell offering to do research for me. One caveat that I got from a cousin--some of the information she got back was about the wrong person, so I'll try it out on a limited basis, but I'll try to be very specific about what I do and don't want. Leslie Hope researching Baraboo and Ironton Quakers 1852-1890 Wm Meredith and Malinda (Mason) Beeson, Mark and Rachel (Osborne) Davis, James and Rachel (Davis) Horine, Stephen Davis and Lillie (Beeson) Horine, Thomas and Mahola (Puckett) Mason. Leslie, I have a lot of information on the Beeson family and many related families. Our Society charges $15.00 per hour for research and for one hour's fee, I can send you a packet with everything from local histories to family information gleaned from the courthouse, obituaries, etc. We can also copy the pages of Volume 5 that have your family's inscriptions on it as well as information on the cemeteries they are in. We also check all the cemetery volumes to be sure they aren't buried elsewhere. I can look for the obituary you requested as well as others. Ken Lange's book is about Sauk County in general and for the most part doesn't talk about specific families. Any information I find in any books regarding the family you are researching can be copied if it is out of print. I have Malinda's obituary (which is very short) as well as information on William's second marriage the next year. I also have four people you can contact who are related to the Beesons. If you'd like us to send you what we have, we can start with one hour of time. I can send you a lot of stuff for that time. If, after an hour, we can go on, or you have questions or want us to find more, we can go from there. You can send a check to: Sauk County Historical Society, PO Box 651, Baraboo, WI 53913. I hope we can help.

Chris & All -- The Sauk County staff is not prepared to do searches. You can go in to their office in person -- or write a letter requesting certain documents. No. I do not have a phone number for the Court House. If you are searching for documents on a specific surname -- the site to contact is the Sauk County Historical Society. They will go to the Court House and check for records (for a fee) -- Kathy Waddell is the Archivist there. She is an extremely knowledgeable genealogist and historian and I'm sure she will be able to assist you. The Sauk County Historical Society has a link on the Sauk County, GenWeb page. Good hunting!

I just came back from Sauk County, Wisconsin -- doing research. I wanted the List to know a few things. First, the staff at the Probate and Register of Deeds Office were extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. They gave me a mini-tour, explained where everything was and gladly answered any questions I posed. Marriage records (on hand) go back to 1862. However, it was not mandatory that marriages be recorded -- and they only were if the Bride and Groom had them recorded at the County Level. The staff will make a copy of the original record for you (while you are there) for a fee of $7.00. Land records -- amazing -- go back to the 1840's -- You can request a copy of the actual document on file and the staff will make a copy for you. The charge is $1.00 per page. Old Probate records -- the indexes are held at the Court House -- but the old records themselves are housed at the Sauk County Historical Society in Baraboo -- you can go there to get copies of the actual documents. The Baraboo Library has county census records and newspapers on microfiche going back to the 1860's. They have a section of their Library devoted to County Historical records, including Histories and cemetery records. The Reedsburg Public Library in Sauk County also has County and Town Histories, County census records (dating back to 1850) microfiche of the newspaper starting at 1850 and going up through the present, and they also have the State Census records. Plus, they have their County and Town Histories. If you do on site research in Sauk County -- the materials are there! And the Court House staff and the Library staff were wonderful to work with! Regards, Colleen Hager City, WI

Hi, I'm sorry for sending this to all these lists, but I don't remember which one had a query for the surname Koslowski/Kozlowski. I recently came across an obit in The Oshkosh (WI. ) Daily Northwestern. It is for Sylvester Kozlowski (81 yrs. old) of Princeton, WI. who died on Mar. 31, 2000. He was the son of Stanley and Lucille (Hysick) Kozlowski. He married Lucille Roguske. Let me know if anyone wants the rest of the details. His wife is still living. Chris Thomas

Hi Phyllis: I'm sorry I don't have your personal address so I will send this to you via the list. I had spoken with you previously via email about White Mound and your brother Terry. (I often think about Terry and all of the fun we all used to have). I am Shelley's cousin. What I didn't know until I saw this email to the list was that you are related to the Carpenter family. I was a Carpenter prior to my marriage. I don't know if I am related to your Carpenter family but I would be interested in finding out. Could you contact me privately to find out if any of our Carpenters match up?

Hi Phyliss, I enjoyed the information on the cemetery and town of White Mound. You might be interested to know that a great-great uncle of mine, Henry Shrump(f) deeded the land to the cemetery association for $1. Does anyone know anything about the Schrump family in Sauk Co. in the 1870's. They then moved to ND. Pat ______________________________ Pat beesleyp@open.org

I have a listing for this cemetery. It was deeded September 22, 1875. Death dates on some of the tombstones date back to 1860, and the last burial was in 1915.

For a number of years the care of this cemetery had been very much neglected but the caretaker of the park supervised a restoration and continues to assume care. I will include the last names of those buried there. If you need more specifics, please e-mail me.

Hi Bonnie: I can stop by the Arena Cemetery and see if there are any Jordans buried there. If you want I can take pictures of the headstones also. I live in Richland Center and go by there twice a day on my way to and from work in Madison. Are you the same person I corresponded with previously regarding the town of White Mound?
