We are trying to find a birth record for her husband's grandmother. She was born in East Troy, Walworth, Wisconsin in 1860 to Joseph and Catherine Smith. I have been searching the web for almost a year and have yet to find anything on her. Would love to find her on a census in 1870 or a birth record. I would greatly appreciate any information you could find for me. Sincerely, Susan Buckland

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QFC.2ACE/716 Message Board Post: Looking for any information on the Seidell Family in Walworth County Wis. Here's what I already know. William Seidell married Helen Schindel, most likely around 1913 to 1930. Somehow they moved to South Dakota and had three children. Frieda, Ralph, and Arthur. Ralph died 7-29-56 and is buried at the Walworth Cemetery in Delavan. Frieda married an Otto Field and then re-married again to a Bohoczek-Whereabouts unknown. Here is the question. Just learned that Arthur may still be alive and in a nursing home at Walworth, named Revella, or something like that. Any help on tracking down my mom's cousins would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone that replies happens to be related to the Seidell Family, I have a ton of information for you as the connection will be through Helen Schindel. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

Surnames: Shippy Cronk Adkins Gough Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QFC.2ACE/711.3 Message Board Post: Georgia - I'm interested in finding a death certificate, for John SHIPPY. I don't know if you have the availability of an index, but I believe he passed between 1858 and 1860. Originally from New York, he came to Elkhorn. On the 1860 census, his wife, Martha Jane Shippy is listed with two children Harriet E and Caroline, but he is not. It's also possible that he was married to Martha Jane (Cronk) in Walworth County, since she was 16 when she gave birth to Caroline in 1856. I'm sorry if this is too general, but this is a difficult area in my research and this is all I know at the present time from my documents. Thanks ruben ayala

Surnames: Atkinson, Deist, Grunewald, Gruenewald, Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QFC.2ACE/714 Message Board Post: My Miller ancestors came from Germany, went to Boston for a short period, and then came to Walworth county in the 1840s where there still are a few remaining relatives. They originally settled in the Troy and East Troy area. The Atkinson's, Deist's, and Grunewald's (also spelled Gruenewald) originally settled in the northeastern part of Walworth county (that would be the Troy and East Troy area) about the 1850s, and like the Miller people, there are still descendants in the original settlement area. With the exception of one grand aunt, I have never met any of my family (all these surnames are on my dad's side of the family). I suspect if I were to visit the area, I might end up talking with a shirt-tail relative and never know it. I have collected a lot of information, paperwork, about my ancestors, but I am still missing quite a bit. I would be very happy to swap information. I am also doing a sideway search instead of just a backward search, so I have information on some of those families as well.

Mary's death registration says her father's name was Thomas Holmes. If anyone knows of any Irish born people with the Holmes surname, could you let me know where in Ireland your family came from. I believe there were (Irish) Holmes in various parts of Walworth county who were related to my Holmes ancestors. Mary Holmes bca 1830 in Ireland, married James W. Coulter (one source says James was born in Madison County, New York, another says Ireland bca 1837). Mary died in 1906 at Troy Center and is buried at St. Peter's Catholic Cemetery. James enlisted during the end of the Civil War and died of typhoid at Helena, Arkansas on April 12, 1863 (his residence at the time of his death was Troy, Wisconsin). Jennie Coulter bca 1857 in New York, married a Betts, died in Waukesha in March 1932. Benjamin Coulter bca 1859 in Wisconsin, died in 1932, residence at time of death was Troy Center Hotel. Mary A. Coulter bca 1861 in Wisconsin, married a Kavanaugh, residence was Troy Center in 1932. Thomas Coulter bca 1862 in Wiisconsin, residence Troy Center in 1932.

Heres what I'm looking for . a death record or obit for Dorthy or Dolly Hyde( maiden name Church ) born in Vermont abt 1797, married David Walker Hyde from New York about 1819 , and moved to Walworth county (Linn ) in 1846. She died in 1879 "near" Geneva She is buried in the Linn Hebron cemetery and the dates come from the tombstone and match census records close. They had lived in Hebron for a few years ( 1850 census ) but the census records put them back in Bloomfied twp in 1860-1870, and Davids death was in Bloomfield in 1880 of which I have record.He was then living with his son William Church Hyde just east of Lake Geneva in NW Bloomfield twp. (an 1873 Plat map shows them almost neighbors at that time ) I would like her parents names if noted on an obit or death record and the exact dates of birth and death .She had 4 sons and 4 daughters . One daughter I do not have the name of , and perhaps an obit would list it . I have Loretta Chapin , Lodema Phillips ,and Ellen Pierce . A nice lady back there has furnished this information for me. I wish I had a closer date than just 1879 , but her husbands notice didn't mention her (Lake Geneva Herald 9 April 1880) it was more like a news flash of his death than an obit. Thanks for your efforts Bob Hyde
