Hello Would anyone know what--if any--newspaper might have an obituary for my Cumming ancestor, John Chambers Cumming who lived in Waukesha County, Vernon Twp. or Eagle Twp, when he died Dec.ember 14, 1886 . Where would I be able to locate the newspaper which may have carried it and/or the actual obituary if Waukesha County holds a collection of such obituaries? Thank you for any information on this.

I am searching for the descendants of Daniel and Nancy GILLESPIE GALLAGHER of County Mayo, who resided in Waukesha, Wisconsin, during the second half of the nineteenth century. Daniel was a shoemaker there, having moved to Waukesha from Hoosick Falls, New York, in the mid 1850's. Both he and Nancy died in Waukesha, Dan in 1893 and Nancy in 1903. Their children were Patrick H. (wf. Margaret MURPHY), Kate, John, Hugh L. (wf. Louisa KNIPFEL), Margaret (husb. Charles F. GIBBONS), Daniel, Jr., Anna (husb. James T. MAHONEY-music dealer), Mary (husb. Herbert J. MJELDE), and Ellen. Patrick H. had at least two children: Mary "Elsie" (husband Henry ROE), and Margaret (husband Henry REHBERG.) Margaret and Henry had three children: Urban, Leo, and Marie. Mary "Elsie" and Henry ROE moved to Iowa, possibly Sioux City. They had at least four children: Zeta, Vanetta, Henry, and Benjamin. Margaret Gibbons moved to Chicago and died there. Daniel, Jr. may have moved there, too. Mary moved to Montana. Hugh L. died in Waukesha 1897. Not certain about the rest. I have checked what I believe to be all of the vital records for the Gallaghers at the Waukesha County Courthouse. Now I need some help connecting from the more recent generations. I would be interested in establishing contact with any of the descendants of Daniel and Nancy. If any of this sounds familiar, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks very much. Mike Dellger

I just finished 10 more census spreadsheets, this time covering the states of Wisconsin, Kansas, Massachusetts, and New York. There are now 26 different spreadsheets to download free from my website at http://censustools.com to let you electronically organize your census data from the U.S. federal (1790-1920), Canada (1851-1901), England (1841-1819), Ireland (1821-1911), Scotland (1841-1891), Kansas (1865-1925), Massachusetts (1855-1865), New York (1825-1925) and Wisconsin (1836-1905). Each spreadsheet has worksheets for each applicable census year, formatted to match the original microfilmed records. Help yourself! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I am trying to help a friend research her ancestors. She can only go back to her grandparents on her father's side. Her grandfather was Gjuro Vuk and was born in Yugoslavia in 1895. He md Eva Kunjesic also born in Yugoslavia. Gjuro migrated to the US in 1913. He first settled in Waukesha Co, WI and later to Milwaukee CO. My friend's father, Peter Vuk, was born in Greenfield, WI 11 June 1918. Is there anyone on this list that could possibly point me in the right direction for further research on this family. Could you give me the names and addresses of the closest genealogical societies or libraries that might have records and/or books that could shed light on these people? Thank you for any and all suggestions. Carolyn hodges@redriverok.com

The day I found my ancestors at Prairie Home Cemetery in Waukesha (I had been searching for them in Monroe County, NY and here they were less than 20 miles from my home!) this poem appeared in one of the e mail lists and I thought you would appreciate it also. Joan Dear Ancestor Your tombstone stands among the rest; Neglected and alone. The name and date are chiseled out On polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who care It is too late to mourn. You did not know that I exist You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh, in blood, in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled One hundred years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so. I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you.

On a trip to Waukesha (from Las Vegas, Nevada) in search of my ancestors, one stop being St. Josephs cemetery after a number of relatives stated my "Krause" ancestors were buried there.(and numerous calls before hand to the cemetery to ask if they were there, which each time recieved the same answer, NO! But I continued anyway. The front office in which I stopped to have them look up on the index as to the section to the plots couldn't find the names I was looking for, one which I positivily new was there was in the index but not in the section in which they had stated. Being a cold and rainy day I didn't look any further, 2 days later went back on a hunch and it payed off. I found the one "KRAUSE" indexed I was looking for:) and then a srange occurance happened, while just wandering looking at the pictures on some of the stones I was led to my other "Krause" ancestors that were nowhere near the first one and not indexed in the office. It was if they were meant to be found. _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/

Good morning, I am researching the Linder surname and it seems that in Waukesha county there is a family group with the spelling of Lindner. So far it seems that these two groups of families are not connected. But in my recent trip to Waukesha county I was encouraged to continue to check out both groups. Although at this time I haven't seen the two family spellings cross over. What is interesting that they were also in such close proximity to each other too. I am looking for information on Joseph Linder (B Feb. 15, 1862 in Pewaukee area) and John Linder (B Sept. 18, 1863 in Pewaukee area) Parents to these are Casper Linder and Anna S. Horatz Who did they marry? Many thanks to all who can help me with this information. Blessings Doreen Beaverton, OR Researching: Horatz, Linder & Waldhuetter for WI.

This was recently sent to me and I thought that I would send it to the list. I believe that it is a site you might want to keep an eye on. As it builds - it will have some good information. Jan Cortez Listowner ============================ Newspaper Abstracts - where we are finding our ancestors in the news! Over the years many records regarding our ancestors were lost or destroyed in fires, floods and other natural disasters. Newspapers contain much information that may not be found elsewhere such as births, marriages, deaths, court notices, land sales, tax notices, businesses, etc. They hold many glimpses of information in their community news and provide us with many fascinating details about the lives of our ancestors from the businesses they frequented to the hardships and triumphs they endured while building a new life in a new land. Newspaper abstracts came online October 1999 and since that time has grown to over 2,800 pages of data all of which has been contributed by volunteers. This site contains abstracts, extracts and links to newspaper articles across the United States, Ireland and Canada published prior to 1923. More volunteers are also needed in all geographic areas - no submissions are too small or too large!
