Yes, this is indeed great. I found someone who went to a cemetery in Chicago for me and took pictures of my 4th great grandfather's grave stone!! I knew a daughter-in-law of his was buried there so thought he might possibly be there too. She found all others from the family too and took a roll of 25 pictures for me. I paid for the film and postage and am having the film developed now - can't wait to pick up the pictures tomorrow! Joan

Am looking for descendants of ALOIS CASPER, b. 8 June 1827 in Alsace, France, and his wife, BARBARA WOELFEL, b. ca 1834/35 in Bavaria. They were m. 1860 in New Berlin, WI. Need parentage of Barbara Woefel. I think her father was JOHN WOELFEL. Alois is the son of JOSEPH & CATHERINE (DENDINGER) CASPER. According to the 1870 Fed. census, Alois and Barbara were living in Milwaukee and had 3 children, Henry, Frank, Mary, b. Apr. 1870. There were more children, a far as I know. Thanks! Mary E. Stigler

There is a wonderful site called Headstone Hunters. At the site there is a list of a bunch of people who will look up your relative's headstones and photograph them for you. You can also volunteer there to help others. Give it a try. I have found it to be very helpful in my family search. Mary http://www.headstonehunter.com searching for: HUGHES, HANNABERRY, HOWARD

I am looking for information about my 3x-great grandparents in the hope that someone will recognize them! William HUNT according to census records was born in Maryland. He married Harriet MOOREHOUSE who according to her daughter's death record was born in Ohio. It is unknown where they married. Their daughter's name was Phoebe Jeanette OR Jeanette Phoebe (I have seen it on documents both ways) and she was born 27 Dec 1852 in Wisconsin according to her death certificate. A handwritten family history says Indiana. Based on this I would estimate the birth time range of her parents to be between roughly 1800-1835. "Nettie" went on to marry Martin Luther VANDERVORT about 1867 and they spent their married life in Monroe Co., WI. Martin Vandervort's family (parent and siblings) lived in Waukesha County, WI from about 1845-after 1865. It is possible that William and Harriet (Moorehouse) Hunt settled in Waukesha or Jefferson County, WI as it is believed but we have been unable to confirm that Nettie and Martin were married in Watertown, Jefferson Co., WI. I do not know the death or burial locations for William and Harriet and have been unable to turn up any other information on on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am an American! I am second generation American on my mother's side and third generation American on my father's side. The feeling of extreme gratitude, to my ancestors, is felt daily for what they went through that their descendants may live in the land of the free. I am baseball, apple pie and Doris Day. I worship as I wish, sit in the cool evening breeze without fearing bombs and hostile takeover of my country. I can bear my children in sterile hospitals with the latest technologies, bury my relatives in plots desired by them rather than in a mile long trench and shake the hands of my neighbors without fearing persecution. I am free to speak, to share, to love and to cry at hearing "God Bless America," This Land is Your Land," and "My Country 'Tis of Thee."

Greetings, I am hoping to get some probate files from the Waukesha county courthouse, do any of you happen to know what the charge is for getting these files? Seems costs vary so much between courthouses. Some courthouses charge $1.00 a page. Thanks for your reply Blessings Doreen

I think it is $1 a page in Waukesha Co. also Milwaukee Co. Lenora from Wisconsin

I receive the following yesterday, and felt, with the upcoming holiday approaching, this message needed to be shared with those who would understand it's meaning the most. Mikki Judge The 4th of July REMEMBERING INDEPENDENCE DAY Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr, noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few week later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fougnt our own government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Author Unknown. Remember: freedom is never free! It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.

Thanks for the tip. The >>> and extra spacing and short lines of type were driving me crazy. Do you know how to edit an email so that it can be forwarded to someone else without printing all the names of other receivers and senders included in the message, usually at the top and bottom?
