I received a nice response from Sandy and do want to thank you Sandy! Now it leads to another question :) Where would a person get these Farmers directories for Waushara county? Any chance any of this would be on a web site? Marilyn

Thanks to all who responded to my townships in Waushara County question! Sorry, John informed me that in order to find the townships in Winnebago County, I need the range number. Thank you too, for the Delorme atlas advice. I guess if I am going to continue to research the land patents, I am going to need to buy one of those! Winnebago Co, WI Section 9-T19N-R16E 3-T20N-R16E 10-T17N-R14E 1-T18N-R15E 1-T19N-16E Anyone know what township these are? Marilyn PS. A big thank you to Pam!! I wish there was a web site where these descriptions could tell people where the townships are located! But, it is really nice to know genealogists who help one another too!

Wild Rose Historical Society is mainly a museum. The ones that run it are quite old. They do have a little in the line of genealogy but not much. Waushara Co. is also a museum but has a few more records. They have some on the Civil War. Have not been to either place in about 2 years. Janice Briggs ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

I print out the land patent of the settlers in my genealogy line. Does anyone know if there is an internet site that would give you the name of the township, if you only have the description? The description is the Section, Township, and range. Marilyn

I would like to invite you to visit my website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have just posted updated information about the treatment of the poorhouse cemetery in Milwaukee. By following the links, you can read a recent newspaper article, a detailed paper about the poorhouse and its cemetery, see photographs with annotations, and read about an UPCOMING meeting/presentation addressing the issue. The best way to find all the information on this subject is to: Go to the homepage (link above) then click on NEWS ALERTS (linked off the homepage..look to the list of links at the left) and you may want to look at the WISCONSIN state page itself (on the homepage, click POORHOUSES BY STATE) Hope you enjoy the site! And if you feel, as we do, a great concern that the history of our less well-to-do ancestors is shamefully undervalued... perhaps you may want to get involved with this issue in Milwaukee. Sincerely, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

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! Visit us at: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/ to see how we are finding our ancestors in the news! ***** Visit Jansdigs at http://www.jansdigs.com Check out Independent Pathways in History at http://www.ipih.org Visit MIGenExchange - We are growing - http://www.genexchange.com/state.cfm?state=mi

Greetings, I am researching: LORD, GARRISON, PALMER, GARRISON, OSTRUM, PALMER, BRONSON, WAMPOLE, BUGH, TENNANT and CASE families in Waushara and surrounding counties. Many of my ancestors are buried in the Hancock Cemetery. I would love to share information. Regards, Honoré Lord Olson [email protected]

I want to thank you all for all of the VERY positive responses. Many of the mail list administrators have stated it is all right to continue to post the reminders I am choosing not too. I did not solely join the county mail lists to place a weekly reminder on them. I felt I could contribute to others research not only by having a gathering place (weekly chat), but I have also answered many questions for many different researchers on the various county mail lists. I was hoping to help others. Should anyone need information on the Wisconsin Genealogy weekly chat-I have this information posted on the Waupaca County Website at the following address http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/index.htm. I will will continue to post chat reminders on the Waupaca County mail list, WauShaOcon Mail List and Wisconsin Mail List. Hope you all break through those brick walls and find those lost ancestors-have a great week!
