Rosemarie, I find it hard to believe you got negative responses to the tour! I guess those responses didn't come across my screen. I thought it sounded great. I for one am not quite ready for that yet, but when I have a hand on what I'm really looking for, I think I may like something like that. Good luck to all of you seekers out there, and have a great trip! Terry (Jansen) Cash already in New England ( CT). My trip will be to WI!

Rosemarie Please don't let a few idiots upset you --just consider the source and go on --there are to many of us who enjoy hearing about your information. Even if I cant make the trip I do enjoy hearing about them. Lee

Apparently a few people on these mailing lists feel that offering a LEGITIMATE TOUR to NEW ENGLAND for the purposes of GENEALOGICAL & HISTORIC RESEARCH is Spam. Personally I have NEVER heard anything so ridiculous. If GENEALOGICAL & HISTORICAL RESEARCH is NOT the TRUE PURPOSE of these mailing list, then I am sorry we let everyone know this TOUR is available. I also am sorry to hear that the true purpose of these lists is idle chit chat about what family reunion is being held, who went to the dr. yesterday, who's Aunt Sadie just had a wart removed, & who retired from Military Service. ~~ Now, to those of you who TRULY enjoy GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH & HISTORY, & enjoy the idea of having a chance of walking on the same ground your ancestors once walked upon, who truly want a chance to do RESEARCH at the NATIONAL HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY & find the graves of their ancestors, I say this. Please contact us by phone or in an e-mail to us directly at: barroncogene@webtv.net This way we will NOT upset those very very few people who find this TOUR offensive & a huge waste of their gossip time. ~ To those of you who have already SIGNED UP for this TOUR, I say WELCOME ABOARD! ~ For those who want to know what this tour is about: http://www.homestead.com/BarronCountyGenealogical/BarronCoGeneNewEnglandTour.html ~ Thanks! Rosemarie Novak President: Barron County, Wi. Genealogical Society P.S. To those VERY FEW who become upset by this posting, please rest assured, the BARRON COUNTY WI. GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY will not send out another of these NOTICES of GENEALOGICAL TOURS.

I am looking for someone in the Burlington Wi. that could look up a obit for Joseph Kortendick(Cortendick) he died before 1897. It would be between 1889 to 1897 from other information I have . Any help I could get , would be greatful. can be reached at mamalee1@aol.com

Good morning, I am researching the Drebenstedt surname. Carl Drebenstedt, born 2 Oct 1908 in Big Stone, Grant County, South Dakota He later moved to Hartland, Waukesha Co., WS I believe that all of the Drebenstedts in WS are descendents of his. Thank you, Tina McCain-McGarry

Brenna, Thanks for the St. Martin's church info. Where is the cemetery located?? You mentioned that there are a few markers left. I used to live near Timmerman Field and do not remember a cemetery anywhere. Can one get LDS records on-line anywhere? I have no access to a stake library any more. Mary from northern Wisconsin

Thanks, Joe for looking up Granville, etc. on the map. At least I know it is in Milwaukee County. Mary from northern Wisconsin

There is a school and an apartment complex right on Appleton Ave. and the stones are between these. It's probably about 1 or 2 blocks south of Timmerman Field. I would think you would have a Family History center near you. Where do you live? Let me know what you need from St. Martin's and if I go to LDS :(FHL) I can check for you Lenora from Wisconsin

St Martin's records have also been microfilmed by LDS. There are a few tombstones left at the Old St. Martin's locations. I found a Schwister and an Etzel marker there and there are a few more. Lenora from Wisconsin

St. Martin's Catholic Church used to be in the vicinity of Timmerman Airport on Appleton Avenue The records for St. Martin's Catholic Church are currently held by St. Anne's in Butler, Wisconsin John

I note that on a current map that Granville, West Granville and Granville Center are all in Milwaukke County. I do not see a County road 'T' on the map near West Granville. I have no information about St Martin's.--Joe Chase -----Original Message----- From: Mary E.

I do not know if I am using the right list, but I am looking for a marriage record from St. Martin's Catholic Church, N38298 County road T, West Granville, WI. I sent at letter, but it was returned to me. Does this church still exist? Where would records for this church be? I am looking for the marriage of LAWRENCE GROH and KUNNIGUNDE DUSSOLD, who were married there between 1850 and 1856. Where is Granville??? Possibly it does not exist any more?? Thanks, Mary from northern Wis.

Hi again. St. Martin chuch records have been microfilmed by LDS. A lot of people from Fussville were married there (I think it was a mission church of St. Anthony or vice versa.) Lenora from Wisconsin
