Hi everyone, Just a quick note to let you know I have moved the Sheboygan county pages. I had enough of fighting to upload on Fortune City. I have moved them to a better server. You have two options of accessing them. You can either go through http://www.wi-sebring.com and select Sheboygan or you can go to: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sheboygan/ either one will work. I have removed everything but the forward from Fortunecity, so please correct you bookmark. If you were using the wi-sebring.com route, you will have to change nothing as everything has already been updated. Have a great week, Debie For AOL users, here are the url's <a href="http://www.wi-sebring.com">http://www.wi-sebring.com</a> or <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sheboygan/">http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sheboygan/</a>

I just finished 10 more census spreadsheets, this time covering the states of Wisconsin, Kansas, Massachusetts, and New York. There are now 26 different spreadsheets to download free from my website at http://censustools.com to let you electronically organize your census data from the U.S. federal (1790-1920), Canada (1851-1901), England (1841-1819), Ireland (1821-1911), Scotland (1841-1891), Kansas (1865-1925), Massachusetts (1855-1865), New York (1825-1925) and Wisconsin (1836-1905). Each spreadsheet has worksheets for each applicable census year, formatted to match the original microfilmed records. Help yourself! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dear Wisheboy listers, Let me introduce myself: I'm Anne J. C. Simonse (male, no female). I'm from Westkapelle, Zeeland, The Netherlands and I'm interested in families that have migrated from Westkapelle to Sheboygan. I know there were quite a few large families that left Westkapelle to go to 'New World', but I find it difficult to come in contact with their descendants. The names am looking for include: Roelse, Houmes, Gabriëlse, Janisse, De Pagter, Toutenhoofd, Lous, and more... Thanks in advance, Anne J. C. Simonse, Noordstraat 31 4361 BK Westkapelle jw.simonse@hccnet.nl PS. I don't seem to get all the WISHEBOY messages (only 5 a week), so if you do respond, respond to my personal emailaddress as well.

Subj: SCHNORR Date: 2/20/01 1:46:57 PM Pacific Standard Time From: JPiper2011 To: WIMANITO-L@rootsweb.com CC: WISHEBOY-L@rootsweb.com This is a repeat of an email I sent recently, but with corrections. Originally, I wrote of noticing the name John Schnorr as a contributor to the Sheboygan pages. It should have been JACK SCHNORR, as follows: Recently I noticed the name JACK SCHNORR on a list of contributors to the Sheboygan Pages project. My mother's family line is SCHNORR and I haven't been able to make any connections. Her father's name was GEORGE, (My grandpa) and he came over here from England probably around 1890 give or take a couple years. I feel fairly sure that his father was German or Prussian and lived in England as a British Subject even though he was not a citizen there. I know George had brothers named THOMAS, FREDERICK, FERDINAND and others. He married Emma Eisold I think around 1898. So, if JACK SCHNORR is reading this, I'd like you to know I would be very happy to hear from you and learn if we can exchange information about the Schnorrs. We spelled it Schnorr but I have seen Schnoor at times in other documents. Sincerely, Reply to JPiper2011@aol.com Judy Piper San Diego, CA

Does anyone know where the Alms House was located in the early 1900's? My husband's great-grandfather was the superintendent there for years and we are curious as to what part of town it was in. The only address I have is rural route 3 (that came from the city directories). -- Jean Family Tree Branches: ZACHA, KOLLMANN, STROOT, KAMPSCHRADER, SANTEL, ARENTSEN, WELLEN, NETEMEYER, BAAHLMANN, KOEHLER, MANSKE/MANZKE, ZIMMERMANN, MUELLER/MILLER, SOMMER(S), MITCHONKE, RAND, RAML http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/k/o/e/Jean-Z-Koehler http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jeanzk http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jeanzk Transcribing the 1920 Clinton County Census for the USGenWeb Census Project; visit it at: http://www.us-census.org/

Looking for anyone working on these names. Elisabeth Vick married Henry Schmidt (Smith) 1857. They had the following children: Mary(married Charles Riebel, Elizabeth(married R.J. Williams), Charles, Henry, Emma(married John Blust), William and John. Would also like to contact any descendants of Elisabeth's brothers Christian Martin Vick and Carl Vick. Elisabeth had a child, Sophia Vick, before coming to the U.S. Sophia came to U.S. with her aunt and uncle Christian and Sophia Revolt. In Sheboygan area she married Charles F. Vick, no known relation. His sister was Mary Vick Schumacher. Would be interested in anyone having information about these families. I have some pictures and information to share also. Thanks

Hi All, I normally don't like to invade everyone's mailbox if they aren't on the mailing list. If you are receiving this letter, it is because you are either on the Sheboygan or Mitchell mailing list or because you have posted to the Sheboygan County Genconnect boards. I am sending this to all of you because if this is an ancestor, you may be interested. I was surfing on E-bay tonight and came across a postcard for sale. This postcard says: "Thanks for card. Please send another, will do better next time" It is signed from a Sam Busse 1016 Erie Avenue There is 1 day left on this auction, the current price is going at 11.35 and here is the url to check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1113651230 I am sorry for sending this to anyone it doesn't pertain to, but should you be searching for this family line, I feel it would be a great asset to one research, Happy hunting, Debie Blindauer Sheboygan County WIGenweb

Dear Listers, If there are any of you have access and might be willing and able to do a look up in census records for Sheboyan Co., I would greatly appreciate it. The following is the info on the family in question: Last Name-Gottsacker (FYI-mispelled Cottsacker in later census's in different state) First name of father and mother-Joseph and Catherine They lived there between 1864 and 1877, and had moved on to KS by 1880, so they are not on the 1880 WI census. Possible years might be 1865-1875, depending on whats available. Especially interested in info as to how long they have been in country, occupation, where they were from (possibly Germany-Prussia), and where they were before WI. I know that different census's ask different questions, but this is the first part of my family that has gone back this far, and I have not seen a copy of any census before 1880 yet, so I do not know what treasures it will hold. Will be happy with any tibbit a fellow lister might be able to find. Thank you in advance for consideration of my request. Also, if any fellow lister is researching Gottsackers, I would be glad to share info! Thanks again! Laura Buffington Oregon City, OR buffimladj@aol.com

Hi! I was wondering if anyone on the list has a copy of the 1900 Sheybogan County census. I am looking for information on Joseph Pangier. His wife was Josephine and they had atleast one son named George. Would love to have the information on the census. Thanks, Paula

I'm sure all of you know this already, but I wanted to warn you if you didn't. The Snow White story that has been passed from HAHAHA is infected with a virus in the attactment Dwarf4U. Get rid of it fast. If I have passed this on I am truely sorry. Be sure to rid it from your deleted folder too. Kim I received this wriet up and thought it was interesting. Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC) http://www.symantec.com/avcenter W95.Hybris.Plugin Discovered on: December 21, 2000 Last Updated on: January 25, 2001 at 12:28:33 PM PST W95.Hybris.plugin is a generic detection for any of the encrypted plug-ins that are downloaded by the W95.Hybris.gen worm. Category: Worm Virus Definitions: December 21, 2000 Threat Assessment: Wild: High Damage: Low Distribution: High Wild: Number of infections: 50 - 999 Number of sites: More than 10 Geographical distribution: Medium Threat containment: Moderate Removal: Moderate Technical description: After infecting a system, the W95.Hybris.gen worm attempts to connect to the newsgroup alt.comp.virus. If the worm connects successfully, it does the following: 1. Uploads its own encrypted plug-ins to this newsgroup. 2. Goes through the subject headers of the newsgroup messages, looks for other attached plug-ins, and tries to match a specific format. The subject header will specify the version number of the attached plug-in. 3. If a newer version of a plug-in is found, the worm downloads the more recent module and updates it's behavior. NOTE: There are numerous plug-ins available, and they have different characteristics. The most common one displays a large spiral that covers the Windows desktop and prevents you from using Windows. Another plug-in has similar behavior, but displays a solid black circle. The plug-ins may do one or more of the following: Generates a spiral image. Depending on system date and time (September 16 and 24, and on 59 minutes of each hour starting in 2001), the spiral image file is run. Upon execution, this plug-in initially loads OpenGL libraries that are used to display a large black and white spiral image. It also registers itself as a service, which prevents the process from being displayed in the Close Program dialog box. Infects DOS executable programs. The DOS .exe infection is a fairly simple dropping technique. The virus code is appended to the end of the file with a small 16-bit dropper routine. This routine creates a temporary file with an .exe extension in the \Temp folder, and then executes it. After that, the routine deletes the temporary executable. This infects the Wsock32.dll file with the worm. Infects PE executable programs. The PE executable has a much more complicated file infection routine. Only large PE files that have a code section long enough will be infected. The virus infection plug-in packs the original code area and overwrites it, if it will fit in the same place. This complicated antiheuristic infection technique is difficult (but not impossible) to repair. Currently SARC detects this plug-in as W95.Hybris.F. A removal tool has been created to remove this plug-in. Click here to obtain the W95.HybrisF fix tool. Infects all .zip and .rar archives on all available drives from C: to Z:. While infecting the .zip and .rar files, the worm renames .exe files in the archive to .ex$ extensions, and adds its copy of the worm to the archive with a .exe extension (this is the companion method of infection). Sends messages with encoded plug-ins to the alt.comp.virus newsgroup, and then gets new plug-ins from there. Spreads the worm to remote computers that are infected with the Backdoor.SubSeven Trojan. The plug-in detects such computers on the Web, and by using SubSeven commands, uploads a copy of the worm to the SubSeven infected computer. Encrypts worm copies with polymorphic encryption loop before sending the copy to others as an email attachment. Removal instructions: General removal instructions: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 2. Make sure that Norton AntiVirus is set to scan all files. 3. Restart the computer in Safe mode (Windows 95/98/Me). 4. Run a full system scan. If Norton AntiVirus detects W32.HybrisF, reboot into Normal mode and download and run the W95.HybrisF fix tool. This tool will repair any Windows executable files that have been infected by the W32.HybrisF.plugin. If Norton AntiVirus detects an infection other than W32.HybrisF, choose to repair any infected files. If Norton AntiVirus cannot repair the files, choose to delete them. 5. When the scan is finished, reboot into Normal Mode. Removal instructions for the black and white spiral or black circle: The spiral or circle loads from the run= line of the Win.ini file. In most cases, because the spiral will prevent you from opening programs, you need to: 1. Run LiveUpdate and run a full system scan. 2. Restart the computer in Safe mode. 3. Make sure Windows is set to show all files. 4. Remove the reference to the plug-in from the Run line of the Win.ini file. 5. Find and delete the plug-in itself. To update an scan: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the latest virus definitions. 2. Run a full system scan. To restart the computer in Safe mode: Windows 95: 1. Exit all programs. 2. Click Start, and then click Shut Down. The Shut Down Windows dialog box appears. 3. Click Restart, and then click OK. 4. When "Starting Windows 95..." appears on the screen, press F8. The Windows 95 Startup Menu appears. 5. Press the number that corresponds to Safe mode, and then press Enter. Windows will start in Safe mode. Windows 98: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type msconfig and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears. 3. Click Advanced on the General tab. 4. Check Enable Startup Menu, click OK, and then click OK again. 5. Exit all programs. 6. Click Start, and then click Shut Down. The Shut Down Windows dialog box appears. 7. Click Restart, and then click OK. The computer restarts. 8. When the Windows 95 Startup Menu appears, press the number that corresponds to Safe mode, and then press Enter. Windows will start in Safe mode. To set Windows to show all files: 1. Start Windows Explorer. 2. Click the View menu (Windows 95/98) or the Tools menu (Windows Me), and then click Options or Folder Options. 3. Click the View tab, and uncheck, if necessary, Hide file extensions for known file types. 4. Click Show all files and click OK. To edit the Win.ini file: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type sysedit and then click OK. 3. Click the title bar of the Win.ini file. 4. In the [windows] section, locate the Run= line, and note what follows the = sign. For example, you may see: run=C:\Windows\System\amiaamia.exe Write down the file name, for example, amiaamia.exe. 5. Place the cursor to the right of the = sign and delete the text that follows it. When finished, it should look like: run= 6. Click the File menu, and then click Exit. Click Yes when prompted to save changes. To delete the plug-in file: 1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders. 2. Make sure that Look in is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is checked. 3. In the Named box, type the file name that you wrote down in step 7. 4. Click Find Now. 5. When the file is found, select it, press Delete, and then click Yes to confirm. 6. Restart the computer in normal mode. NOTE: The file name that is referred to in step 7 is an example only. The plug-in that makes the entry in the Win.ini file creates a somewhat random file name. (It is not completely random, as multiple cases of the same file name have been reported.) The file name will usually consist of eight letters with the .exe extension. The name consists of a sequence of four letters which are then repeated. For example: Gbpkgbpk.exe Aboaaboa.exe Enpeenpe.exe Agaiagai.exe NOTE: For Windows 98 users only, if you used the Microsoft System Configuration Utility to enable the startup menu, then you can disable it at this time. Please follow these steps to do so: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type msconfig and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears. 3. Click Advanced on the General tab. 4. Uncheck Enable Startup Menu, click OK, and then click OK again. 5. Restart the computer. If Norton AntiVirus continues to detect the plug-ins: If NAV continues to detect the plug-ins after the previous removal steps have been followed, please do the following: NOTE: You must be using NAV 5.0 or later. 1. Restart the computer in Safe mode. 2. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders. 3. Make sure that Look in is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is checked. 4. In the Named box, type the following and then click Find Now: wsock32.dll Windows will find the file and display it in the lower pane of the Find dialog box. 5. Right-click the Wsock32.dll file, and then click Copy. 6. Close the Find: All Files window. 7. Right-click the Windows desktop (or the folder of your choice) and then click Paste. 8.

Peter was a ships carpenter and was a member of the Catholic Church. I would like to find any information about the family while they lived in the Shebogan area, What Catholic churches were there at this time period, where I might find the childrends birth certificates, etc. Thank you very much Gerald Wright, Portland,OR

Hello, Debie and Listers--Does anyone have access to the 1855 WI state census for Sheboygan County? I'm looking for the details of the Carl MEYER (or MEIER) family of Town Herman. Yes, I know there is a good supply of Meyers in the area! For my Carl Meyer, his wife was Sophie Louise and children included Frederick, Wilhelmina, Carl, William, Henry, Louise, and August. Thanks for any help you can give. Bob Forrest (forrest@whidbey.com)

One of the contributors to the Sheboygan Page listed on the Thank you page was Jack or John Schnorr. My mother's line was Schnorr and I'd like to find out if there is any connection. George Schnorr, my grandfather, was born in England; his father was from somewhere in Germany. There were brothers who located in and around Manitowoc/Two Rivers. There was Thomas, Frederick, Ferdinand and others. The census of 1881 in Middlesex England showed a number of Schnorrs living on Batty Street; Phillip, Frederick, Christian, Mary Elizabeth, George, Margaretha, Lizzie, Margaret Henry and Caroline. Does this make a connection? Please email me.
