ROWLANDS Update to Tabernacle cemetery.
The Racine Public Library is seeking donations of Golden Books published in Racine, WI to build on its current collection. Golden Books were published in Racine from the 1920s until about the year 2000. The library has been able to obtain about 300 of the nearly 1000 published in this area. If you or someone you know has Golden Books to donate, please contact the library at 262.636.9217.
A gentleman by the name of Eugene B. Meier, Jr. Sent me a list of Wisconsin Painters and Sculptors and a listing of their art. I will be adding this to the Milwaukee website (and a link from the Waukesha) within the next weeks. There are 549 word document pages that will need to be converted to web format, so it might take a bit to get online. The list contains people that were in the Milwaukee Telephone exchange area of artists with art in the early 1900s through the 1980s.
Be looking for an update in the coming weeks and thank for thinking of us, Eugene!
PS If anyone knows HTML and wants to help, please let me know by sending me an email.
A researcher sent in information about the Quirk family.
I updated the Waukesha website with this new information.
Surnames included:
BLUEMN, CASEY, CLANCY, DUNLAP, HACKET, KEATING, MONAGHAN, NICHOLSON, NIESSEN, SHAEFER, SNYDER
You can see the Quirk family information here.
This morning I moved the St. Stanislaus Death Register from the old Milwaukee GenWeb website to my site. St. Stanislaus is a Polish Catholic Parish on the southside of Milwaukee. Thank you Mary Popovich for compiling the data and submitting it to the GenWeb Website.
There were only a few pages on the old GenWeb website, so it will not be long before that site will be taken down. If you link to the site, please be sure to update your links to the new site.
The url is: www.LinksToThePast.com/milwaukee
Thank you.
Hello all!
I recently acquired the coordinator position for the Milwaukee County WIGenWeb website (the one hosted on rootsweb). When I have merged the content from the old one to mine, I will remove the contents of the old site.
Today I did an email check on the surname page that was listed on the old site. I got over 190 bounced email addresses. If you have updated your email in the last 5 or so years and you previously sent in a surname query, you may want to check the new page to see if your email address has been removed. If it has, please send me an update.
PLEASE NOTE: I will not be accepting new surnames at this time. I am working on a system where the user will be able to update their email without my assistance.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

I am currently planning on attending a Civil War Symposium in Fort Wayne Indiana at the Allen County Library on Friday and Saturday Oct. 8 and 9, 2010.
If any of my fellow Milwaukee researchers would like to tag along, I would welcome the company.

The Allen County library has a large collection of genealogy materials from all states. I have heard it is definitely worth the trip out there if one can go.
It is approximately 5-6 hours to drive out there (depending on Chicago Traffic). I don’t know when I will be leaving yet. It will either be Thursday or very early Friday to give me time to do research at the library at least for a few hours. (first session starts Friday at 2:30) (It will also depends on the other passengers).
If you are interested let me know. You would be responsible for all your own costs (admission, hotel, food, etc.) I am willing to split a room if you are comfortable with that.
Let me know by sending me an email, placing a comment below or calling 262-783-1620.
Ellen-
