Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese website update

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I went to cemeteries.org, the Milwaukee Archdiocese website, to do a search for a catholic death in Milwaukee.  Much to my surprise I found they change the search results for the better.

Prior to yesterday, when you did a search, you would simply come back with the name.  If there were multiple similar names, you would have to click each name to find the ones in a particular cemetery.  Now, when you do a search on the name, the results show the name as well as the cemetery they are buried.

A great improvement!

Civil War Veterans Honored

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Each memorial day weekend I try to put online something to honor veterans. This year I was able to find two articles in the Waukesha Freeman that listed the names of Civil War veterans that received goverment issued tombstones. I then looked up the obituaries of several of them and put them online.

Check out the Civil War Dead page for a listing of those that received military tombstones.

The following were entered in the cemeteries.

La Belle
Lyman

Poelks
Kline

Thanks Gary for Sharing your knowledge!

re: genealogy research & Milw. German newspapers

Waukesha County Necrology Index-Assistance Needed

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Hello Researchers!

I have copies of the index pages of the Waukesha Necrology index. For those of you who don’t know what a necrology is, it is a collection of obituaries and information on people who have died. The Waukesha Necrology contains information on people who are related to Waukesha in some way. Many of those in the Necrology are early Waukesha Pioneers.

I am looking for people to help transcribe the list of names so that it can be added to website more quickly. So far I have copied about 32 volumes of names. There are 2 or 3 more films to copy the index from.

If you are interested in helping, please email me. Even if you can do only a page or two I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your consideration.
