Can anyone answer this? How to locate...... the website for the indexes for the Baraboo and Reedsburg newspapers? Carolyn

Kathy Waddell graciously sent this information out some time ago. . . Most of the obits and marriages are catalogued at the Reedsburg Library. Part of the ones are catalogued at the Baraboo Library (hopefully all by the end of summer). In order to look for them, enter http://linkcat.scls.lib.wi.us/linkcatweb/ next, on the left hand side, click on Wisc. Newspapers. Next, Baraboo Newspapers or Reedsburg Newspapers. Enter the last name and you'll get a list of articles for that name available at that library. Each name listed with show the type of article and date of newspaper and page number found. The Reedsburg Public Library address is: 370 Vine Street, Reedsburg, WI 53959. The Baraboo Public Library address is 230 4th Avenue, Baraboo, WI 53913. Always give them the info you found and send an SASE. The cost of the copies is 25 cents each but it might be nice to send a little donation the library and maybe send them a dollar for the copy. Should you have problems, the librarys' web sites are.... http://www.scls.lib.wi.us/reedsburg/index.html http://www.scls.lib.wi.us/baraboo/index.html Reedsburg's e-mail address is listed on their website. Baraboo's is [email protected] Hope this helps.

Tippeesaukee Symposium 2003 Friday August 15 & Saturday August 16 UW-Richland, Richland Center The intersection of Native and European American Cultures in Southwest Wisconsin Registration deadline is June 15, 2003 Join for a day or both days of exploration of our heritage, led by distinguished scholars and researchers. They'll take us from the far reaches of our region's ancient past to the more recent, wrenching disruptions of the mid-1800's. It was at this time that European Immigrants poured into our region. Why did they come? For many reasons, but mostly for the land they could not hope to own in their homelands. Here they could purchase at a low price land surveyed and sold by the US Government. To own land they would take on formidable labors in stringent conditions with rudimentary tools so that they could rise in the world. Arriving often by small wood burning steamboats, the Europeans were dropped off in a world of deep forests and vast prairies. Their task was plain: to clear all that away, to prepare the soil, to plant, to make the land bloom. In their minds were fields, orchards and gardens of Europe. As they wrote in their diaries and letters home, they had "found the land of milk and honey." But this land was not uninhabited; it was home to native societies whose predecessors had lived millennia ago at the melting edges of the great glaciers. These native inhabitants' lives grew out of an intimate knowledge of nature. They moved about with the seasons, harvesting from nature and cultivating squash and corn. Cross Currents: What happened when these two cultures collided? We'll explore this question, hear new theories, learn of recent discoveries, and join in small groups sessions to pursue the parts of the story that most interest you.

According to other Moog descendants, there was a family bible that had been kept at the Westfield Methodist Church. How would I find out where the bible is now? (No one in the family I know, knows where the bible is now, and apparently the church is closed(?).) Thanks, Christina __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi List, Am asking for a favor again :). If anyone would have this book, and could scan or write the biographial sketch for Harry, I would appreciate it (info follows). Also, I went through our library here in Ohio for a inter-library loan for History of Sauk Co., 1880, and they said they could not get it. It was not circulateing. If I remember correctly someone on the the list from Washington state, had said there library had it. If anyone is to the library and if they have a copy of this book for circulation, could you get back to me. Thanks All...Bev..Ohio Purdy, Harry C.

Surnames: EVANS Submitter: Tom Graham ([email protected]) Date: 18 May 2003 Where can I find a list of the cemeteries in the southern two tiers of townships in Sauk County. And also where can I find records that will let me locate graves, especially in cemeteries in Spring Green. I intend to be in Spring Green in mid-july, so the records don't have to be abailable on line. I just need to know where to look when I arrive on the site.

Hi Bob; Verlyn Mueller from the Sauk Prairie Historical Society is the archivist for the Tripp Museum and is also in the process of setting up the archives/museum in the basement of the Salem Church. I believe he is just getting started with this project at the church. He can be contacted at the Tripp Museum in Prairie du Sac. The last newsletter says he will recommend to the committee that hours at the Salem museum be the same as at the Tripp, which is, 10:00 to 4:00 on Saturday and 1:00 to 4:00 on Sunday starting the weekend of Memorial Day to the weekend before Labor Day.

Hi, If you notice more than normal activity in the list, it is because I sent out this email to researchers that sent in queries prior to the year 2000. "According to my records you may have not submitted a query in the past 3 years to the website. I am planning on removing queries submitted prior to the year 2000 as part of my annual cleanup beginning May 15. Queries older than three years may have already been answered, there may be inactive email address or some other reason. Please review any queries you may have on the site and if you are still researching the Surname please post a new query." Carolyn

Thank you to Kathy for the 1930 census info on DAVIS family. Probably wrong John Davis - dates and middle initial don't match. Probably right Guy Davis - some discrepancies with family history, but very usable info. Thanks again Donna

If any of this rings a bell with anyone or you would know of a way to find info on any of them I would appreciate hearing from you. I have tried the 1880 census on LDS site, but came up empty handed.

Kathy, I just want to publicly thank you for all you do to help genealogists. I am aware of all the cemetery records you have transcribed and but on line and the newspaper articles you have indexed. I have found so much information using both of these. You have probably contributed in other ways I am not aware of. Thank you so much for helping so many of us! Susan in Northern CA
