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
The only 'Wheat' related town in WI I can come up with
at least that close to 1856 is from my 1886 postal
directory -
Wheatville - in of all places Crawford County!
for Wheeler - Dunn County
for Wheeling - nothing.
for yucks - flipping it
Prairie:
Prairie du Chien - Crawford
Prairie du Sac - Sauk
Prairie Farm - Barron
of course all these had postoffices so I suppose the
place she mentions was a mighty small wide spot in the
road or had a postoffice come and go by 1886.

Hi There -
In response to the below query-
I don't fine a Wheeling Prairie as a city, town, village, etc. But there is
a Wheeler Prairie Cemetery in Dane County. Could this be a clue?

My husband's g g grandmother was born in Wheeling Prairie, Wisconsin, in
1856. Have looked in several places and can not find city let alone
county.
Do you have any ideas on how to find where this place was located?
Thanks
Joyce

Hello Fellow Waupaca County Researchers-
A few additions to the Waupaca site this week.
13 new headstone photos have been added to the Northport-Ostrander Cemetery,
Northport, Mukwa Township. Surnames included are-Ticks, FREDRICK, MENTZEL,
STARK, PETERSEN, PETERSON, KRAUSE, PAAP AND HOFFMAN.
This brings the total to 1002 headstone photos now on-line.
A new page on the News Articles from the Past has been added for the year
1893.
Also several obituaries, death and marriages have been added to the Waupaca
County Message Board.
All this and more can be reached from the Homepage of the Waupaca County

I have triple virus protection for incoming and outgoing mail. Yahoo screens for
virus, my server then screens it again, and finally my own continuously updated
virus program (coming in....going out is the opposite). I receive not only
several virus infected attachment e-mail letters each day, that get through the
first two screenings but are caught by my own program, I get "bounced" e-mail
that was not sent from my computer and does not even have my address on it
anywhere ( in either "to:" or "from:"). How and why they come to me is a
mystery, but they do. This is the work of the viruses that take all kinds of
partial info and send it using all kinds of addresses picked up on infected
computers. There is no way to track or connect it to anyone specific. I was told
it was a waste of time to send a return letter, it is all jumbled. The servers
eventually catch on to the virus and delete it, they said. The idea is not to
harass individuals, but to slow down and cripple the whole system with bogus
virus generated, infected e-mail attachments. I do not open attachments that I
do not recognize, even with triple screening. It does seem to be slowing down.
Maybe the virus hackers have gone back to school?

Anne,
These latest viruses pick up both email addresses to fake as the sender and
snippets of topics so you get bits and pieces of "real" topics. I am on
several html lists and get quite a few with names of html tags for example.
It's all done by the virus program itself, no one is sitting there creating
them.

Hi,
I have been bombarded lately with emails that look like genealogy related
ones, with attachments...I never open them and always send a note to the
sender to find out if indeed they sent them -- sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Well, whatever program is sending them, fine-tuned it today....sent me an
attachment called "school census 1907". Still didn't open it -- and my email
to the sender was returned so the email got permanently deleted. But I am
still in shock that they would bother fine tuning the subject "school census
1907" -- who other than us would be interested in that??? Some real weirdo's
out there....
Thought I'd pass it on...
Anne
I've been getting them too.

Hi,
Does anyone have any of the following forms or templates that they would be
willing to share please? I am giving a talk on Beginning Genealogy next
week and trying to match up research forms with items presented. Or, if you
know of a website that I could download these myself, plese let me know -
happy to go there and do so!
This is the list of what I am still in need of:
1. all the WI State Census templates (I have all the Federal ones)
2. Obituary abstract
3. Probate abstract
4. Passenger ship arrival abstract
Any thing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Today is a day of remembrance.
I want to take a moment, in the spirit of the day, to thank you all
for your hard work, dedication and support to the USGenWeb Project,
the WIGenWeb Project, to our visitors, and to each other.
I know that many of you were affected personally by the events of
September 11, 2001, and to commemorate the day I have added a graphic
to the WIGenWeb Project State Pages.

Hi all,
I thought you might be interested in this neat new tool.
There is a new feature within the Internet Archive
(www.archive.org). The Internet Archive is beta testing "DocuComp" It
is an advanced comparison engine that
identifies inserted, deleted, replaced and moved text (and code) in Web
pages and documents.
You can access it here--
http://web.archive.org/collections/web/advanced.html --by searching for
a specific URL, selecting 'List all pages that match search criteria'
and
checking the Comparison box. A list will be produced, similar to this--
http://web.archive.org/web/20010101-20020904*dc_re_/http://www.cnet.com --where you can then select two
dates to compare.
This feature is still in beta, and there an email link on the
comparison's page itself for comments to the company. There are many
malformed HTML pages on the web, and they are trying to make this
comparison
tool work with as many of them as possible.
This is a free resource that looks as if it will be made available on
www.archive.org.
Give it a try.
I put in the url to the Kenosha County Wisconsin GenWeb and was able to
see every change made on my web site from 1998 to 2001 (when it was
last spidered.)
This is great for trying to find info on a site that was taken down.

the Speidel watch company?

My computer is going to be down for a week (or less) I hope. I had made an
appointment to take it to the computer hospital for tuesday but it died this

Just in case someone misses me.

The basic skeleton of the Orphan Trains to Wisconsin site is up:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiorphan/
The only *data* item up right now is the train list which you can get to by
clicking on Trains and then on the link there. You might check it for any
possibles arrivals in your county and may be able to identify some of the
towns for which we do not have counties. I would certainly appreciate any
help or suggestions you have. Please feel free to make comments,
suggestions, additions, corrections et cetera. I will be adding stuff to it
throughout the day so keep coming back!
