    1. [WIWAUKES] POORHOUSE Information
    2. Poor House Lady
    3. We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted a link to information about the WAUKESHA County Poorhouse & Asylum and it's cemetery. Your community has done something really admirable by creating beautiful memorials with the names of those known to be buried there inscribed on the memorial stones! So we have also featured that on our NEWS ALERTS page. DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on WISCONSIN on the table of states. If you have been to the website recently you may have to click REFRESH or RELOAD on the browser to see the new information. You will see an entry under LOCAL NOTES and under CEMETERIES. There is also a link to News Alerts on that homepage. There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
