Hi All, Well, I did it, it took me several days, but I finally got both Calumet and Sheboygan County moved to a new website. I also added banners to each page as the CC's for USGenweb have been made aware that someone had started to link to our pages using frames and charging people for information they are calling their own. By adding this banner to each and every page it prevents this person from linking to any of my pages and making money off of them. I have run into a problem with both search engines at the new location. It is pretty much hit and miss. Calumet seems to be indexed properly finally, but Sheboygan is not having the full load indexed. I have been working on this for over 24 hours and I will continue to work on it more tomorrow, but for now I am off to get some sleep before I make funny words with my nose on the keyboard.<G> I have also splurged and purchased a domain name, this way you can bookmark one page and no matter if the sites ever move again or not, the bookmark will take you to where ever it goes without having to change anything. I feel it also makes it easier for those typing it in. This will work for accessing both counties. The website url is: http://www.wi-sebring.com Please, if you notice anything not loading properly or missing, such as graphics, please send me a kind letter and let me know. I appreciate your patience while I worked or tried to work with NBCi and while we moved.

Hello Sheboygan List; I have just joined this list and am researching my SCHUELER and ZINKGRAF relatives who lived in the Rhine area from about 1864 on.

>Debie :: > > I just finished checking some of the URLs that you posted in your last >letter.. > > NOTHING WORKS....I was looking for the Sheboygan City Gen. page > > Bob in Texas Hi Bob, Actually there is a problem with the merging of Xoom and NBCi. I have wrote about problems in the past. I think the access prohibited notice has now stopped, but sometimes it still fails to load the pages. I have found if you try two or three times, it will load. I have written to NBCi about this problem and have been told this is a bug within the merging and they are hoping to have it fixed soon. I have decided to give them until the end of the month, if it isn't better at that time, then I will be forced to find yet another new home for the county pages. In the meantime, please just keeping trying, I have found that usually with the second attempt I have been able to access the pages. I know it is frustrating, because it gets me and these are my pages. Thanks for writing and asking, please keep me updated if you still have problems, Debie

Hi Fellow Researchers, Hope you all are having a great week. I am writing to let you know new things have been added to both the Calumet and Sheboygan pages, so when you have time, go check them out. I also am writing to let you know I have noticed the search engine on the page was not working. Upon further checking I have discovered it simply isn't picking anything up on either website. I have taken the time and installed another search engine tonight. The top search engine is the newest one and is working, so if you were using the search engine to find anything, please go check out the new one, you may have better luck. Hope you all have a great week and as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, Debie http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sebring/index.htm (Our Purple Heart database) http://members.nbci.com/WISebring/Calumet/calumt.htm (Calumet Cty, WI.

Debie, I sure hope you get well soon. Sorry to hear you have been sick! Holly Homan

Hi Kim and all, I haven't been writing much lately, Pneumonia and bronchitis has been keeping me down, but I have been trying to download mail daily to keep up in case someone had a quick question. I want to say this. I own the Sheboygan, Mitchell, Calumet and Purple Heart mailing list and NO ONE is going to unsub anyone without my consent. Since to an extent I feel your note was genealogy related, I see no problem with it being here. Personally I love reading this kind of stuff when going through old newspapers. I might even publish it to the mailing lists is I simply had more time. For those who may not find interest to this, this is what the delete key is made for. Not everyone may find this interesting and that is fine, but I personally have no problem with that being posted to the mailing list and for the list owner who did, well I feel for their group on the list. Hope you all have a great weekend, I need to go try to catch up on the websites, Debie P.S. Oh, forgot one thing, in my opinion and that might mean squat literally.<G> Spam is mail that is unwanted, has nothing to do with anything related to the list and is after selling or making a profit for someone else. None of the above apply in my book.

I want to thank those of you who like the email I posted about "what to eat in 1897" I was recently BLASTED from another gen. list (that I had unsubscribed several months ago and forgot to remove them from my address book) when I sent it out. The list owner called it SPAM and said he was reporting me to the rootsweb abuse dept. for sending unwanted email. I have defened myself and I hope the abuse dept. won't unsubscribe me from the many lists I am subscribed to. Sincerely, Kim Pollard Merick@cableone.net

Since I am very health conscious because of my health, I enjoyed the diet. I also have a health tip that was on an old newspaper next to an obit. of a relative from WI that was pretty much standard for today. And we think they didn't know much back them. Thelma Subject: [WISHEBOY] What to eat in 1897 Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 14:36:27 -0500 From: Kim Pollard <merick@cableone.net> To: WISHEBOY-L@rootsweb.com Sorry, about that folks. I was informed that most people didn't get the message. Kim Pollard What To Eat Some Sensible Suggestions That Should Be Posted in Every Household Aristonite, writing in that excellent gastronomic journal, What to Eat, makes a few sensible suggestions in regard to the diet that ought to be posted in every household. He says that the healthiest and purest lives comes from those who d not eat meat before the age of 15. Potatoes, sliced thin and fried, are indigestible. While tasting delicious, they afford no real nourishment and cause a derangement of the liver. Cake clogs the stomach. All rich pastries is poison to the liver. Soft caramels and creams are also bad for anyone with a liver at all rebellious. When you get old, look out for your food. Do you ever notice that grandfather’s face is not as jolly as it used to be? His strength of mind also seems slowly disappearing, though he is getting fleshier every day. He needs a change of food. Probably he has been eating buckwheat cakes and sirup, white bread and butter, sugar fat meats, etc. Give him lean meat and fish, cracked wheat and potatoes, barley, cakes, rye bread or southern corn cakes. Try it, and instead of moping and sitting round the house all day you will find him running around lively as a cricket. Maybe, on the contrary, he is growing thin and pale. Then he needs buckwheat and molasses, fat meats, mashed potatoes in milk, southern corn, cracked wheat and fish, oatmeal porridge and fruit every morning. All rules have their exceptions, and the died described for the mass may not answer for exceptional cases, but the following directions are good for the majority. Milk is the simplest and most natural food. If you cannot drink it, your stomach is in a diseased condition. Cheese is a good substitute, if mild, fresh and made from pure milk and cream. Persons who live mostly on vegetables have the best nerves and the best complexions. Red pepper is an excellent condiment. Its effect upon the liver is remarkable. Malaria, intermittent fever or congestive chills cannot endure the presence of red pepper. Pure red pepper (known as cayenne) should be on every table. Ill health is caused largely by improper food or by food which is in a bad condition when it is eaten. The West Duluth Sun July 29, 1897 [Othe than not seeing any reference to tofu or bean sprouts, this seems like pretty sound advice, even today]. Ray Marshall

I thought I would share these interesting findings. Enjoy - Rita Oconto County WIGenWeb Project Coordinator http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiconto/ Question: Many years ago I became interested in the various fires that occured in the Old Northwest during 1871 and remember reading that many logging camps and larger towns actually paved their streets with sawdust from the mills so that people could walk them with out getting muddy during and after rains. Certainly a very bad idea but a excellent explanation as to why these town "went up" like gunpowder kegs. Can you confirm or deny that this practice did occur? Thank you, any reply would be greatly appreciated. - K. P. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah Answer: That is absolutely correct. The practice goes back to colonial days, but it wasn't until manufacturing wood during the "Industrial Revolution" that there was a large enough amount of sawdust to become a problem. Unlike now when sawdust is used in pressed wood products and some paper manufacturing, sawdust was just a waste byproduct of milling lumber. A BIG byproduct. At first they simply dumped it into the rivers and streams the powered the mills. It would then travel to the mouth of the rivers and totally clog the bays of the upper Great Lakes. This made shipping impossible and that meant the lumber could not be shipped to other places. There are old letter and diaries with descriptions of sawdust being so thick along the beaches and bays the you could walk out on the floating matts (also not a real safe practice). They burned the bark and scaps, that would not make shims and such small usables, in huge tall coneshaped metal stuctures with open tops and at night the workers would sit out on the front porches of their cottages with the family and watch the glowing red burners against the inky black sky until bedtime. But the sawdust remained a huge problem. It was highly combustable and not suited for burners as it would also set the surrounding area on fire with sparks traveling on the wind. Someone came up with the idea of laying down sawdust on the muddy town roads. Then you could not only walk on the knee-deep mud, but the sawdust was also "worked into" the mud by traffic to make a kind of improved surface for wagon and carriage wheels. And it was free for the hauling. Since the most concentrated traffic was in the towns, villages and settlements, this was seen as a big improvement. Just the other day, right here, I noticed that sawdust from logging off land for development was used on the mud to make a road inland for the heavy trucks. It was very successful and took the weight of many vehicles without getting muddy. This sawdust was also used in logging camps so the mud from the bare ground didn't impede transportation. It was truly dangerous by today's standards, and even more dangerous, but absolutely neccessary, by yesterday's standards. There were also no building codes back then and all the wood structures were put up fast and close together, often wall to wall. With lamp oil, wood stoves, fireplaces, candles, and various fuels being used and stored all over, women and men wearing lots of cotton clothing, and lots of smoking materials, open fires, sparks from steam engines (trains, threshers, boats, etc), campfires of hunters, brush burning, smokehouses for curing meats, bondfires for newly cleared land, open fires for making soap, scalding fowl and rendering lard, lightening, back burning, etc. you can only imagine how dangerous life was with all that sawdust around. Even circuses used sawdust all around and inside the tents as temporary flooring, and the tents were lit with open, burning torches attached to the wood mainpoles. That would give me bigger thrills and chills than any caged Tiger. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for writing. Rita - Oconto County WIGenWeb > --------------1ECF0634000C7B232240C1F6--
