Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I have been busy adding new pages to my counties.
I am especially proud of the 1910 Census for the township of Wausau -
submitted by Joan Benner, (Marathon County)
There is a new family history page for the Degner/Zeisler ancestry. (see
Stories)
In Lincoln County are many stories of Tomahawk, and a new story about the
first school in Jenny, as Merrill used to be known. I hope shortly to add
many pictures of Tomahawk. (See Stories)
I have a new volunteer who is transcribing articles for me for Lincoln
County, and will be doing some for Marathon County also.
THANK YOU, GOD, FOR THE VOLUNTEERS!

I live in Shawano County and have had in my possession the above
mentioned book. Since I am now retired, I would like to sell it. Do you
know of anyone who would be interested.--Overal, the book is in very
good condition. Thank you for your time.--Denis Pace
TO ALL-FYI: The 1930 census will be available on April 1st. In order
for a census to become public, it has to be 72 years old. So, if you
have an interest in the list, email me http://jacakd@hnet.net I'm not
sure on how it will come out, as in everything at once or, info that
trickles in. Jacak

Question:
How can you find out if a copyright has been renewed, etc?
I got this in today's email:
<<For Bios, we have to limit it to sources where there is no copyright
anymore, yes?
There are some Hubbard bios in "One Thousand Years of Hubbard History" but I
think that book may have had its copyright updated. Hmmmm, the book I have
says 1895, and I don't see a more recent copyright. >>
Thanks for any suggestions!

As far as I can tell I've sent off replies to everyone who requested a list
of postoffices.
If you did send a request and have not received your listings, please
contact me and let me
know.
Thanks,
Tim
Thanks Tina for the info and will let you know if I set one up. I may ask
through the Mail List if there is any interest and post on the website to
see if there is any interest first.

Paula,
You can do something similar to
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigenweb/irc-chat.html
instead of /join #USGW-WI
have them /join #Waupaca
As a matter of fact, if you, or any other County Coordinator wish to do that,
I can list a county chat schedule on the WIGenWeb Project Pages, regardless
of the chat mechanism <g>.

I have been thinking about starting a weekly chat room meeting for the
Waupaca County Researchers and kind of moderating it myself. Have any of you
done this for your county? If so can you tell me where you set it up, etc?
I had moderated another chat room at one time-so was thinking of doing it
something like our Wednesday night one. I would just pick a date and time
and invite any Waupaca County researcher to join. I just don't know where I
can set one up. I figure if it doesn't fly I'm not out anything and thought
it might be interesting.

Hello,
I've heard from several very kind folks asking permission to post/pass
along the info. below. I did author the intro. and please feel free to
use it in any appropriate way. It is a brief summary of my own reading
and research experience and was gathered from multiple creditable
sources, including the 1881 Compton's World Atlas, History of World, P.
F. Collier, Publisher, 1887 and Einst Handelsweg zwischen Bayern und
Böhmen, heute Wanderweg: Die Gulden- oder, Von Ingeborg Seyfert, 1959,
among others. Neat stuff, this history business! Rita

Wondering why you can't find your family's home of origin in
German??
Between 1668 and 1817 the country that is now called Germany was
more that 300 independent states, city states, bishoprics, duchies,
and more, some just a bit larger than a postage stamp, with the
exceptions in size, places like Bavaria. There was no central
government, and Prussia was a province in northern Poland (really).
Residents "belonged" to their little countries, which in some cases
had two or more areas separated by other "countries". They received
orders to "colon ate/populate" an area and were sent to start new
towns, usually along a border, to ward off invasion. To support the
governments of such tiny holdings, the merchants had to pay taxes in
every tiny independent country they went through, whether by land or
river, while traveling across the land to deliver goods, making
goods almost impossible to afford. Religion of an area was often
designated by who was the royal leader, and changed as easily.
Churches were the primary, often only, keepers of family and
individual information starting in the 1500's. Most people worked in
agriculture, for larger land owners as tenants. The lucky ones had
tiny private farms that would not sustain a family , and at the age
of 10 years, children began to work alongside their parents to
supplement family income. By 1820, statisticians in England
published that, with all the tiny royal governments, 1 out of every
4 residents was related to royalty, even though they were farmers,
loggers and craftsmen. Napoleon's invasion of 1817 resulted in a
reduction of the number of independent Germanic "nations" to 36.
That was the status until Prussia, over a few decades, "united"
those states and today's Germany was formed in 1871. Prussia, also
"Preussen" and "Borussia" in old records, also claimed parts of
Poland, Romania, Ruthvenia, and other formerly independent
countries. Today, there is no Prussia on maps. Thought you might
like to know this, if it is something new to you. Rita - Oconto

I'm now showing 3 requests for 7 counties still outstanding. I'm plugging
along on them but have to take it slow for my eyes are still bothering me
from my trip to the eye doctor on Monday.
For all the problems associated with that you'd think I'd been to the
dentist instead!
The abbreviation (ch) stands for courthouse. The 1939 reference is a
United States Official Postal Guide - Part 1 - July 1939 - 5th Series - Vol
2, No. 1. I picked it up at the World's Longest Yard Sale a few years ago
for 25 cents.
The 1886 reference is missing its cover and first 13 pages so it's a bit of
a mystery. It appears to have been published by an independent
organization as it has advertisements in the back of the book.
In 1886 there were 1,478 postoffices in Wisconsin. At the end of this
offer, I'll post some final data regarding WI postoffices for both guides.
