I went out to Union Lutheran Cemetery yesterday and transcribed a few of the tombstone as well as photographed them. I will be putting them online soon.

To the cemetery listing I also added the following obituaries:

Rev. Christian Haack, James Soukop, Augusta Niss, Jan Pleyte

I also added the death notices for John Liscowitz.  I do not know where John was buried but he committed Suicide in Union Lutheran Cemetery.  He shot himself on a bench near the near the grave of F. Mueller.  I don’t know if F. Mueller had any significance in John’s life.

Added articles on the James Soukop murder by Antonio Balistiere in 1897.  James is buried in Union Cemetery Milwaukee.

I was able to get to the library the other day and make copies of some of the delcaration of intent indexes for Waukesha County.

If anyone is interested in helping transcribing these indexes, please let me know.  If everyone does a page or two it will be done before we know it.

Thanks to Barb the Agudas Achim Jewish Cemetery photos are now online in the gallery.

Check out the new names and photos in the Milwaukee County Cemetery.

No, Joan has not fallen off the face of the earth.  Her new job has taken a lot of her time.  Until she is able to get back to the files, I decided to put up a few tidbits from some of my newpaper resources.

I added a couple news tidbits from 1877 on the conviction of John Anderson who murdered Isaac Rosegard;

an 1890 article about M.C. Smith;

and 1891 articles on John Fiegel & Son Burglary and new creamery equipment in Strong’s Prairie.

My great grandmother, Lillian (Tuma) Radej was a saver. She saved photographs, news tidbits. Sometimes just brief notes in random places maybe as she was thinking of something. When my grandparents passed, I got custody of many of the piles of miscellaneous tidbits. At the time, I had no clue who many of the people were in the pictures or why Grandma Radej saved this obituary or that newspaper edition. Years later I have been through it all millions of times, and still don’t know the importance of some items. (more…)

I needed a place to put all the tidbits of information I have in my head on genealogy. I decided to create this category called Genealogy This, That and Other Things as a genealogy tips and tricks section. If you have anything you want to add here, let me know.
