Updates-Milwaukee, Waukesha, Wisconsin

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

First I want to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday Season and the New Year brings you and your families health and happiness. May you be able to climb those brick walls with ease. Also, thank you for visiting my site. I hope in some way it aids you in your research. Even if only to confirm the information you already have.

With that said, those of you who know me may know that I also have a genealogy research service that I operate part time out of my home. I have had a pretty steady list of clients since July so I haven’t had a lot of time to update the Milwaukee and Waukesha sites. Worse than that, I haven’t been able to get together things for those that want to transcribe items for the site.

My intention this upcoming week is to organize the data I have here so that I can more efficiently continue to add to the site. I know how important it is to find online resources such as this that can help get over those brick walls so I will do what I can in the coming months to add as much as I can.

Happy New Year!

Deaths and Births-Manitowoc

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Wednesday – December 13 Put the 1909 births from Der Nord Westen on. Also the St. Nazianz researcher Bob sent me 150 obits from around the early 1940s to 2005. If there is anyone interested in transcribing them, I have them ready to send out. I can put the jpg into an email, and if you hit reply then reopen the email with the jpg, you can put the two side by side and transcribe from one to the other and hit send, then delete the email with the jpg. When I get it back, I’ll send another. Email me if you want to do it.
