I broke down and finally decided to redo the website design. It is way over due…I know I am sorry!

The new design is Section 508 compliant which means those that may be visually impaired can use different settings and still see everything on the website. The new design will be done with one header and one footer which will make any future design changes much easier. Milwaukee will be a different color than Waukesha so that you will quickly know that you have traveled over 124th and across the county line.
It will take some time for me to redo all the pages so I am letting you have a sneak peak at the new design. I welcome your feedback. If there is anything you would like to see me do a little bit differently, let me know and I will see what I can do.

The new design is now live.

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!
