His mother was Esther Bradley(1792-1851) daughter of Jared & Charity Bradley of Lee, Massachusetts. Esther married Josiah Newell. Esther moved west and is buried in Round Prairie Cemetery in Walworth County. Is there a connection between these Bradleys and your Bradleys. My information came from "LaGrange Pioneers" published in 1935 by the LaGrnge Ladies Aid Society, Walworth County, Wisconsin. thank you.

I am sure we have all been frustrated from time to time trying to read what passes for handwriting on census pages etc. I know I have and have had to enlist some help in the past. I need help again, this time with an Ellis Island manifest. If you are good at this kind of thing and would like to give it a try, respond to me and I'll give you the particulars, you will need to go into Ellis Island to find it though, as you probably know, those manifests are locked in place. Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim in Asheville, NC USA -- --

Has anyone run across any information about William Wallace Bradley and his mother, Adah Hoyt Bradley in their research in Walworth County? They migrated in the 1840's to Delavan, WI, from NY, and William Wallace had a dry goods store, or something like that in Delavan. I have seen a biography about WW, but am looking for their death dates and burial spots, and any other information about them. I know about his 2 marriages, and 2 daughters. He is the brother of James T. Bradley of Rochester, MN and the son of Dr. Enos and Adah Hoyt Bradley of NY. I would appreciate any info you can provide, and can do the same for you in Ludington, Mason County, Michigan. Thanks, Janet Bradley Brosius

Marion was born abt. 1915 and Martha abt. 1916. Their father Gunnar was a florist in Delavan and made his residence there from 1910. In his 1957 obituary, Marion is married to Mr. Rocker and living in Chicago. Martha is married to Mr. Tuzl and living in Walled Lake, Michigan. Even with these unusual names I have been unable to find them in Social Security, phone books, etc. Marion and Martha are my cousins. We are descended from a family from Jönköping, Småland, Sweden. As far as I know, only the girls' mother and my grandmother have descendants living in the U.S. Thank you

One of the great benefits of genealogy is meeting people. Like the old story of a sign at the edge of town: Welcome to Podunk Home of 1384 happy souls and two old sore heads. In the genealogy community, I have met all wonderful happy souls but yet to run into the second old sore head! With the McGill clan, searching is like fishing, toss your line out and you catch a few lunkers. Your are one of them. I would also like to find out if there are cemetery records that might contain Henry McGill's father Ralph McGill who was born about 1815 in Scotland or Ireland.

McGill. A book, long out of print, "Wisconsin Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion, published by the state of Wisconsin in 1914 and complied by the Office of the Adjutant General of the State of Wisconsin during the period of 1895 to 1899 is a list of the thousands from Wisconsin who served. The book is very thick and as far as I know, is not available via the internet. Anyhow, that book does not list Henry McGill. But that doesn't mean he didn't serve. I did a lot of searching for a distant relative who did serve in the Civil War - his direct descendants were very confident that he had. But, he wasn't listed in that book, either. I also checked another old book "Wisconsin in the War of the Rebellion- A History of all Regiments & Batteries" by William Deloss Love, published in 1866. Henry McGill isn't listed in there, either (and neither was my distant relative) I suspect there are quite a few soldiers who did not get into the books. If any enlistment and/or service records were misplaced, destroyed or lost, those were probably never identified. But, the National Archives does list Henry H. McGill as a member of F Company, 4th Wisconsin, and that is a pretty reliable source.

I have found that you need to click on the original board URL in the list post and that will take you to the original rootsweb board posting and if you answer there it will go to both the board and the list. The gc-gateway appears to be a one way door from the board to the list but not back. The board people never see responses send only through the list. When they reconfigured the lists a while back, they made it so you do not see the posting person's e-mail address on stuff coming from the boards. If you just hit reply to a gc-gateway, you end up only answering the list and often the original poster never sees the response. I do not like the new configuration at all. I do not know who is posting and you cannot simply reply directly to the person anymore. This is supposed to work better for stopping people from phishing and collecting e-mail addresses. You have to be on both the list and the board to get the big picture. It is hindering my research and my responses too. Too bad!
