I am searching for information on my ancestor Thomas Austin, born abt 1791,England. He married Mary Ann Hennessey in 1845 , Cuyohoga county, Ohio.

Have located Mary Ann and children in Mineral Point, WI in 1900 census. She died in 1902 in Mineral Point and is buried in Graceland cemetery there.

I can not find any death or census information about her husband Thomas Austin in the WI census or Iowa co death records. Wondering where he was between 1860 in Ohio and her death.

I could really use some direction. I am new to GenWise, and somewhat new to researching my ancestors.

 

I am told through family stories that my g-g-g-grandma must have been indian. When I was a little girl, my gr-uncle came to live use and idenitifed some photos for us. I have a photo of her and of her parents. Her parents do not look indian, they are white. Maybe it was the way they took photos back then, I dont know. But she had really long sold black hair and darker skin than her parents. Again, it could've been the photo.

 

I do know she was born in 1877 in Monroe Co., WI. If she was indian, and was "adopted" or care for by a white couple, would their be a record of this somewhere? If so where do I begin to search?

 

I do know that her obituary doesn't mention about being indian. The census doesn't notate indian status either. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I am making a trip to Monroe Co, WI in the next couple of months to gather information, footage, etc. on my gr-gr-grandparents. I am looking to do a video biography and wondered if anyone has any tips or pointers as I have never done this before. Any suggestions?

I am searching for information on several families in Wisconsin. First, Berggren/Caufield family. Clarence Berggren married Lauretta Caufield in mid to late 1920's. Their son Robert was born in Cudahy in 1929. Any help locating their marriage would be appreciated. Secondly, I am looking for any information from Green County for the Troy family. James and Bridget had a daughter Maggie that married Patrick Caufield. Maggie and Patrick moved to Webster Co, IA sometime in the 1870's. Maggie was born in Wisconsin in 1860.

I am working on the family of Ira Daniel Ames of Dane and Rock Counties Wisconsin. I would like to find others working on this family. Ira Ames was signed in by John Ames into the Civil War. John Ames was his guardian at the time. Previous guardian was Harvey Campbell. Can anyone help me out?

I am looking for information regarding my ancestor Maria/Mariah Bastin who was born in Mineral Point in 1851 to Mary Ann Jaggers and John Bastin. The family eventually settled just over the border in Illinois, and I am unable to locate Maria on either the 1870 or 1880 census. She eventually went out west to Utah and married Jonathan Cyrus Harrington in 1882.

Again to Gwynn, The marriage of Walter to Helen is listed at the PGSA.org website. They married 11 Nov 1914 at St. Mary of Perpetual Help Church. This marriage is on film 1763433, item 2, page 44. I haven't searched this church so I don't know what information it will hold but most the other Chicago church records will tell the parents names and some will say from where in Poland they are from. Hope that helps.
