I have decided to index the yearbooks I have for the senior class of that year and post the index on my website. Then I expect Ellen could add a link to the Waukesha site and people whose family members are mentioned could ask for copies of the info on the person. In the long run I will donate these to the historical society of Waukesha County if they don't have each one -- they did not have too many annuals, it seems to me, when I was there. More as we go. Thanks, Ellen, for all your hard work on the site. Penny Ziemer Ford Looking for Giencke and Mittelsteadt family members, as well as Ziemer and Bradee.

Nan, Thanks for your kind offer to do look-ups. I'm looking for any and all info on the following surnames: CONGDON - I know some are buried in Jericho in Eagle and some are in Oak Knoll in Mukwonago. WESTPHAL - Jericho in Eagle and probably other places. MARTIN - Not sure, but could you please check the Genesee Twp and Village cemeteries? Specifically looking for Thomas and Francis(es) MARTIN. JOLLIFFE/JOLLIFF - Not sure, could be Mukwonago, Eagle, or Genesee/North Prairie. Thank you so much. Bob Congdon formerly of Waukesha, now of Medford, NJ

Hi Mary, I have been researching in Kenosha and Racine counties in detail during late July and August of 1850 lately, and there was a bad cholera epidemic in both places. Also there are reports of cholera epidemics in St Louis and Philadelphia in the papers those months. A report from Racine indicated 30-50 deaths a day in August from cholera. I have a fairly healthy suspicion you'll find the same in Waukesha.

Would anyone know if an epidemic swept through Waukesha County in the summer of 1850? I've got several deaths in one family during that time. Thanks.

I know there was a bad case of diptheria that went through the county but I do not know what year. If no one else knows the answer I will look it up in the Waukesha County history book from 1880, when I am able to get to the library again.

Have you looked through the cemeteries on the waukesha genweb site? Prairie Home is there, plus several other news ones. the Lawrence name sounds familiar as one I put online in one of the cemeteries, but I can't remember which one. http://rootsweb.com/~wiwaukes/cemeteries.html Ellen- Waukesha Co-CC Researching all family names, because we are all related and it's fun...and if it's not fun...why bother??? >Nan, Could you please check your database for LAWRENCE or SPRINGSTEAD >in the Waukesha area?

I purchased several Waukesha High Yearbooks on ebay. These are from the 1920's and 30's, various years. If you would like me to look up information, please let me know. Penny Ziemer Ford Denver Always looking for information on descendants of the Mittelsteadt, Giencke and Ziemer families of Waukesha County and Wauwatosa.

Bonni, I am in the process of entering the info I have into a master data base. The info comes from on site tours of the cemeteries cross referenced with Historical Society files, Military records, and newspaper obit indexes. The cross references aide with dates and the spelling of names that are hard to read. In addition, the obit index many times gives maiden, spouses and parents names. The goal at this time is to have detailed information through about 1930. At present I am concentrating on the oldest sections of the cemeteries. Many of these are in really bad shape. In the future, I would like to expand the date to 2000 as time and resources permit.

I transcribed most of the Redeemer UCC of Christ Cemetery (aka German Evangelical, aka Zion Evangelical) in Sussex over the weekend. There are a few Siewerts in that cemetery. You can find it on the Waukesha GenWeb Site, Cemetery 53 http://rootsweb.com/~wiwaukes/cemeteries.html I am in the process of doing St. John Chrysostom Church Cemetery.

Phyllis Johnson about June 8,1950? would someone confirm this date for us?

I have added to my family website a couple of pages that might be of interest: 1). The 1914 Plat map of the area around my great great grandfather Sommer farm, which he acquired around 1859. Inherited by my great grandparents Wilhelm Bradee Jr. and his wife Mary Sommer Bradee, this farm is where my grandmother Ella Bradee Ziemer and her siblings grew up. The old red bard and the smokehouse still exist on the Bradee farmstead in Brookfield. 2). We have begun to put online the diary of my great-aunt Cora Bradee. This describes her daily life on the Bradee place in the years 1923 and 1924. The new page is her diary for January, 1923. Several area families are mentioned, including Feerick, Arndt, Mittelsteadt, Ziemer, and Giencke. Hope you enjoy them.

I am wondering if anyone else has ancestors from Iceland that settled in the Waukesha area. My great grandmother, Katrin Sigurdsson (Siegerson) came to the US in 1874 with her father and stepmother. A few years later she married Frank STONE in Waukesha and they lived there until the late 1890s. Also I checked out the Waukesha Website and I congratulate all of you working on it for the terrific job you are doing! Joan

If you haven't taken a look at the Waukesha County site lately - you've missed quite a bit. Ellen is doing bios, cemeteries, adding help pages, etc. It's really looking great. Stop in and check the What's New page and take a look at all the new items. As for me - I've added to the WI Statewide marriages, plus adding two separate files for marriages in Wood and Polk counties. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaukes/indice.html Jan Waukesha County Co-Coordinator
