Hi All - Waushara and Waupaca counties here-
I have enjoyed reading through all the emails on everyone's news.
I haven't done as much on the sites as I returned to school for Medical
Transcription and still do day care a few days a week for our 3-year-old
grandson. Our second grandchild is due April 3 and we are excited about
that. 2006 was very busy with sister's wedding, returning to school,
mother's 80th birthday bash, and a lot of other things along the way.
I took on Waushara County a bit before the holidays and remain as Waupaca
CC. Revamped Waushara County when I took it over but it has been slow going
on additions lately due to school, etc. But with only one class this
semester I hope to have a little more time.
Waupaca County's growth has slowed some also. The main project I am working
on right now is the cemetery, headstone photos, and obituary project. I now
have transcriptions of each Waupaca cemetry on-line some very new and others
from the Guyant records from the 70'. and I have over 4,000 headstone photos
on and about another 5,000 I am working on. I have just started placing the
obituaries online. The goal is to have the complete cemetery listing with
headstone photos and obituaries. It is a project that will take a long time
- but I have alot of people to thank for their submitting information. I
hope to do the same eventually for Waushara County.
I am also still involved with the Waupaca Area Genealogy Society and do
their accessioning and help where I can. Their collection is held at the
Holly History and Genealogy Center in Waupaca and I try to volunteer there
when possible.
I am also working on Waupaca County Pre-1907 Marriage Index book with the
Wisconsin Historical Society by checking the Pre-1907 Waupaca County
marriages registered at the state level against those registered at the
county level. This has also slowed some due to school.
Funny how school has slowed me down on alot of things.
Hope you all have a great year!
