Thank you everyone who has sent me book names and internet address to find maps that I was looking for. I didn't realize that there were so many places to look. Sincerely, Kim Pollard

Thanks Debie- having the date helps immensely.......

Does anyone have access to the census indexes for Wisconsin for 1900 and 1910? I'm looking for ANDREW LYNNES. He would possibly be in Eau Claire or Jackson County. His wife was Mary or Marie and his kids were Albin and Agnes. Thanks. Libby Saxby :-) San Diego, CA

Kim -- I don't know about websites, but there's a book that would definitely help you. It's called "Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920" by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide." This book shows county boundaries for each census year, along with the current boundaries in a faint outline. It is an excellent resource for determining just which county might hold records for our ancestors at a given time. Do you live in Sheboygan County? We have it at the Family History Center here. Our hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 2:00 and 7:00 to 9:00, and Fridays from 10:00 to 4:00. Happy hunting!

Could anybody on this list who lives in the Sheboygan area let me know if Cross Creek Drive is out in the country? I am researching a family name, Webb, and was told recently by someone that they remembered seeing a family farm by that name in the not too distant past. I found only one listing with that name on an address finder on the internet. I wanted to write a blind letter inquiring if they might be related, but wanted to 1st get an idea if it might really be a farm. Webb is a fairly common name and I thought it odd that only one was listed.

Does anyone have a good website for finding out what counties where in existance for example 1850's and such for census information? I'm not sure where to look because if some of the family was in one county for say 1850 and then by 1860 the state divided that county. There would have to be maps somewhere I just don't know where to look. I have found recent county maps. Kim

Hi All, Just received this letter from Mary about a genealogy workshop taking place at the Oostburg library on April 7, 2000. Here is the information for anyone close enough to make the workshop. There will be a genealogy workshop on Friday, April 7 at 6:30 pm at the Oostburg Public Library. Mary Risseeuw will share family files and assist with research questions and deadends. Please bring files and information to share and problems to be solved! If you have any requests for information, please contact Mary by e-mail at c90mkr1@corn.cso.niu.edu or at 815-758-7944 or 220 E. Hillcrest Drive #2112 DeKalb, IL 60115. Any beginning genealogists are encouraged to join us! Happy hunting to all of you, Debie

>From another list: You Know You're Taking Genealogy Too Seriously If... *You are the only person to show up at the cemetery research party with a shovel. *To put the "final touches" on your genealogical research, you've asked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA samples. *You were instrumental in having "non-genealogical use of the genealogy room copy machine" classified as a federal hate crime. *Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogical records are stored. *You decided to take a two-week break from genealogy, and the U.S. Postal Office immediately laid off 1,500 employees. *Out of respect for your best friend's unquestioned reputation for honesty and integrity, you are willing to turn off that noisy surveillance camera while she reviews your 57 genealogical research notebooks in your home.

>From another list: It May Be Hard to Believe That A Scant 100 Years Ago... The average life expectancy in the United States was forty-seven. Only 14 percent of the homes in the United States had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the US and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was ten mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the twenty-first most populous state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average wage in the U.S. was twenty-two cents an hour. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2500 per year, a veterinarian between $1500 and $4000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births in the United States took place at home. Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee cost fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason, either as travelers or immigrants. The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. Drive-by-shootings -- in which teenage boys galloped down the street on horses and started randomly shooting at houses, carriages, or anything else that caught their fancy -- were an ongoing problem in Denver and other cities in the West. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was thirty. The remote desert community was inhabited by only a handful of ranchers and their families. Plutonium, insulin, and antibiotics hadn't been discovered yet. Scotch tape, crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. One in ten U.S. adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school. Some medical authorities warned that professional seamstresses were apt to become sexually aroused by the steady rhythm, hour after hour, of the sewing machine's foot pedals. They recommended slipping bromide -- which was thought to diminish sexual desire -- into the woman's drinking water. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health. Coca-Cola contained cocaine instead of caffeine. Punch card data processing had recently been developed, and early predecessors of the modern computer were used for the first time by the government to help compile the 1900 census. Eighteen percent of households in the United States had at least one full-time servant or domestic. There were about 230 reported murders in the U.S. annually.

Hi All, Well, I guess not being able to sleep is good for one thing. I have now completed and have placed on-line the Ri births. I also found some R births that were indexed wrong that I have added to the correct file and noted where I found them indexed. Enjoy, I will work on some Cemeteries next, as long as time permits, things will be better when my mom can come back home, please bear with me, Debie Cash Surf, the fastest money maker I know of!

Hi Listers, Sorry for the delay in births. I have added the Ra - Rd file and also the Re - Rh file. I will try to work on the last remaining Ri when time permits. After that file is done, all births will be on-line that were copied from the R. of D. I do have to go back and hand copy a bunch to bring them to 1912 though. In the meantime, I have a favor to ask of all of you. I need you to say a prayer for my mom. She had surgery on Tuesday to remove a 2" diameter brain tumor. The surgery seemed to go well, but now swelling of the brain is starting, which isn't a good sign. Please take a minute and say a prayer for her. Her name is Marcella Horn. Thanks, Debie P.S. While I am away helping my parents through this, you can wait to e-mail me if you have have questions, of you could route them to my co-helper Amy. Thanks.

Here is what I have found by doing 8+ years of family research for my family members from Sheboygan County and also for other WIGenweb users who have/had family in Sheboygan. It is not uncommon to do what is called border hopping. What I mean by this is they could have very well lived in Sheboygan County, but attended a church in Fond du Lac county. It turly depended upon how close the church in their religion was, also depended upon the pastor/priest, etc. at the time they were attending. It may very well be that St. Cloud and Sheboygan County had to share the pastor/priest. Death records are here, some date back to the 1840's I believe we may even have a few from the 1830's, but it was not required to register a vital record by law in Wisconsin until June of 1907. So sometimes it is a hit and miss tpye of thing. I am currently working on getting the vital indexes on-line right now. I am finishing up the R births and will have them on within the next few days, which will make the births complete from the indexes at the Sheboygan County Courthouse. I have ordered all of the marriage indexes up to June of 1907 and as well as the births, I will be hand copying beyond 1907. As for the deaths, we are in need of donations to purchase the indexes to get them on-line. The Register of Deeds charges $1.00 a copied page and $1.00 to open the book for the copying. If you have not already checked out the Sheboygan County page, I strongly suggest you do so, you may very well find the surname you are looking for and perhaps some information that may be of more help to you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask, the url for the Sheboygan County page is listed below within the signature file. Debie Cash Surf, the fastest money maker I know of!

I have been looking for family records and have found that my Grgrandfather and his family lived in St.Cloud, WI. I thought that St. Cloud was in Fond du Lac Co. but just lately have found some listings of birth records on the Sheboygan Co web site. Was part of St. Cloud in Sheboygan Co? I have some records that show that the Werschem family belonged to St. Joseph Catholic Church, St. Cloud, WI in the 1850's. Also, when were death records first recorded in Sheboygan Co. and was there a newspaper that may have had obituaries in l873? Thank you in advance for any help. Mary Ann

If you have dates and a little patience I can look them up for. I am hoping to get to the library next week, but I will not do any look-up's there without an exact date of death.
