They had a daughter Jessie Alma Sage born in Rushford Twnship on November 04, 1877. Helen married Joseph "Henry" Rogers on July 26, 1884 in Omro. I would like information about her parents, or 1st husband. It is possible that they did not marry in Winnebago county but probably did. I assume that Menzel died. Any leads would be appreciated.

Check out the index to the Winneconne newspaper available at www.winneconnelibrary.org/vitals There is lots of information on the Frerks. Obituaries can be ordered from the library, but even without the obituary itself, the index has a lot of information. Click on any of the Frerks for more information. I live in Winneconne and am a member of the historical society. If you let me know more of what you want, I'm sure that I can find quite a bit of information for you. The names listed are well known here, many are buried in the local cemetery. There are still a few Frerks in the area. Kathy Grace

Are these found at the register of Deeds along with the Birth, marriage and death records. If not, where would I find them? Are they available for public viewing? I would appreciate any help on this subject.

Hi, I get to the Winnebago County courthouse now and then to do lookups. I have always just done Birth, marriage and death lookups. Can anyone tell me how to go about looking up other stuff, such as wills or property deeds. Do I do this in the same place? Is this kind of stuff open for public veiwing? Thanks for any suggestions.

I've "rescued" an old 1849 Bible which originally belonged to the STONE Family of Wisconsin.

James married Eliza Jane DANFORTH b. 7 June 1833, the daughter of Simon DANFORTH and Mary BISHOP. The couple was living in Oshkosh, WI during the 1880 census along with two daughters, Mary age 16 and Gertrude age 2. James R. was 51 years old, born in VT with both of his parents also VT born. Eliza J. was age 46, born in NY with her parents born in NY and CT respectively, both children were born in WI. Gertrude Alice STONE was born 18 June 1878 in Oshkosh, WI. Harry HOBBINS and his wife Kittie Louise were living in Madison, WI listing her name as Louise during the 1880 census. Harry was listed as 26 years old, an insurance agent born in England and Louise age 22 with parents born in WI and NY respectively. I also believe that Charles SANBORN who married Gertrude Alice STONE was probably Charles SANBORN son of Silas & Emily SANBORN who were living in Madison, WI during the 1880 census. Silas was age 39, NY born and Emily age 35, VT born. Charles was said to be 9 years of age, born in WI. Their son Henry SANBORN b. 1 Sept 1902, died 17 Jan 1992. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

There is a word before the name Rose I am not sure if it says Aunt or Auiel? Aniel? the hand writting is hard to read. I just went to the phone book on the internet and called a lady in Wisconsin who has the same last name she thinks it may be her family. She gave her genealogy to her sister to work on. She lives in Eau Claire,WI. She is going to pay me the postage and $1.75 I paid to purchase it. After I cash the check I will post the picture on the Winnebago web link. You will be able to see it and copy it to your computer. At least I will do my best to post it. I received an email from someone that said Rose was born in 1842. It mentioned who her husband was. I accidently deleated that email so I do not know who it was from. Sorry I can not help anymore. -Janet

I only had the spelling from the back of the photo and it is in script and hard to read. I just can not stand when people throw away old photos. Surly there must be some family left who will want them. My husband says I am crazy doing this. But I only buy maybe 4-6 a month. Most of them get homes. I never ask for more than I pay for them.I have stopped sending them out and asking for postage in return especially overseas. The money never seems to come back.I had one famous man ask me to send a photo to him. I did and did not get the $2.50 cents for the photo plus $7.00 for over seas shipping. The man emailed me several times saying he was too busy to send the money. (I know, the money would have cost more to exchange than it would be worth. But I have grand kids who would have loved it) Then two and a half years later, a friend in England was going to Wales and she sent him a post card to remind him. With in a week the money came with a nice card. I have a box of ! twenty or so old photos just sitting here unclaimed from an estate sale. But at least they did not go to the trash.What a crazy hobby I have. Thanks for the info. Oh, by the way. The name for the photographer is Neumann and the address is 59 Main Street. So that should help too. -Janet
