Hello to the Great State of Wisconsin, I am searching for any information anyone can provide me with regard to the surname TARRANT and FEDEREN. Both families lived in various parts of the state, but spent quite a bit of time in the Minneapolis area. I am searching for PHILIP FEDEREN (1883) and his wife EDITH FEDEREN (1884) and their two children FABIOLA TARRANT (1897) and CECILE TARRANT (1893). They were last known to be in the Twin Cities area in 1944, but their descendants could be anywhere by now. They were relatives of GEORGE A. SHANNON AND ISABELLA (McDonald) SHANNON of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and their son ROBERT D. SHANNON, who was last known around 1942-44 to be living in Spencer, Iowa. Robert's wife was named JESSE and his children were ANNABELLE and GEORGE, also of Chippewa Falls, WI. Sometime around 1940-45, the family and the germane cousins and step-relatives scattered about the state for an unknown reason, so I'm asking for help from anyone in ANY Wisconsin County. Any information regarding these families or their descendants would be greatly appreciated. Yes, this was posted to every board in Wisconsin because the families scattered and I'm at the point of desperation. It conforms to the guidelines established by RootsWeb, USGenWeb and that awesome upstart ALHN, so it IS NOT considered spam. Take care all. I wish you the best of luck with your own searches.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have a new home for my family history site due to our move. If you visit a page that still has the old address, can you please alert me to which page you found it on (please include a url)? The new url for My Wisconsin Family History is http://home.g2a.net/~alhnwi/Family_history.htm. All the links on the main page are in working order and I am currently working on getting all the others operating, but it will take some time, so please be patient with me. -- Thanks! Cindy Johnson alhnwi@g2a.net

Hello everyone, I have just finished 3 more pages of the Village of Medford, Taylor County 1880 census. Pages 13, 14, and 15 are now online to view. To go directly to page 13, use this url: http://www.usgennet.org/~alhnwius/vlgMedford1880pg13.html and then just hit next to view consecutive pages. I am also working on the Little Black, Taylor Co 1880 census. Hopefully I will finish both shortly. If you go to the census index page at: http://www.usgennet.org/~alhnwius/censusindex.html - you will see a list of other counties and townships that have no links. I have: Marathon County Clark County Taylor County Shawano County censuses for 1890 (Vets) that I am working on transcribing as you read this. I am hoping to begin entering those censuses online as soon as I have Medford and Little Black for 1880 finished. Please stop by and visit my pages at the American Local History Network and see what's new. The site has a search engine. You can enter a surname, topic, or whatever you are interested in and it will tell you exactly where and what page you can find the information located.

Hi, I researching the Jacob & Peter Kurth families. The two brothers came to the US in 1883 from Prussia. They settled in Lodi, Columbia Co. for about 10 years. Then moving to Westport in Dane Co. Jacob & his wife Barbara settled in Hammel Town, Taylor Co. in the late 1890's. and raised their family there. Peter & his wife Christine lived in Westport for about 10 years then moved to Springfield, Dane Co., then Madison where he died. I'm hoping to find someone else who is researching the Kurth's. I've also heard a family rumor that Peter's youngest son Joseph was a Green Bay Packer in the 1933/34 season. Does anyone know anything about Jospeh Kurth who played for the Packers? Thanks Mary
