GAR Wolcott Post Milwaukee

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

I found a fabulous book listing members of the Wolcott Post No. 1 of the GAR in Milwaukee. I transcribed it and it is online in the Military Section of the Milwaukee site.

There are some deaths listed that I will be moving over to the appropriate cemetery. It was a great find!

I have added the following bios from the 1881 History of Milwaukee:

Cemetery Updates

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I have been working on the Milwaukee Cemeteries. I have completed all the entries I had for the Jewish Cemeteries. If anyone has any additions or corrections, please send them to me.

The past week or so I have been working on the B-E on a number of other area cemeteries. I will make a list tonight after I upload the files.

I am looking for someone to help type of the information I have. If you are interested please email me by going to one of my sites and finding the email at address at the bottom of every page. I will then get you the information to type up. Any help would be appreciated, even one or two pages, as I have a lot of pages to type and add to the site. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Jewish Cems/1881 Bios

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

I have updated the Jewish Cemeteries with the Hs and Ls. I don’t have too many entries left to do. If I keep at it I should be done with all of them this week. As time permits I plan to cross reference them to the Social Security death index.

I have added bios to the 1881 bios pages for Schmidt, Haynes, Kartschoke, Nern, Frederick, Vollhardt, Yunker, Trieschmann. If anyone is interested in typing up a page or two to put on the site, I would appreciate if you let me know.

Updated Churches

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

I guess I forgot to post that I updated all of the churches. I have listed the name and approximate location or address when known for most denominations in the area. When known to have merged with another church I have cross referenced this information. I hope this information is helpful.
