GORMLEY. Seek info about
FRANCIS GORMLEY and wife NANCY who moved from Ohio to Trenton township, Dodge Co., WI sometime between 1850 and 1860. Francis was born in Ireland in the 1790s;
Nancy was born in Penn. Perhaps between 1800-1810. At least 8 children were in WI with
them. The family was farming in Trenton
in census of 1860 and 1870 but gone in 1880.

Subject: QUERY RE JOSEPH HEGER, 1850s JEFFERSON RESIDENT
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to seek biographical information
about Mr. Joseph Heger (1835-?), the son of Conrad and Eva Heger, who was living in Jefferson County, Wisconsin during
the fall of 1855 and perhaps thereafter. All three Hegers
were born in Hesse, Germany and emigrated
to the United States at an unknown time prior to 1855. Joseph was born in Hesse on
Ideally, I would like to be able to learn what
became of Joseph Heger following his army discharge
at Fort Union in the fall of 1860, including the place and date of his death. I
would very much appreciate any light that you can shed on this minor mystery.
My interest in Joseph Heger runs to my work as editor
of a documentary history of the Utah War of 1857-58, a military campaign in
which Heger and his regiment participated. By the
way, during his army enlistment Heger produced a
series of pencil sketches of the scenes that he encountered in the West that
are among the most notable of that period.
Many thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
William P. MacKinnon
Independent Historian

Records for St Stephens Lutheran Church for some of my ancestors.
My original search was centered on Gottfried Heldt, who married Augusta Splinter (Brandt).
I have now discovered that Augusta Splinter immigrated with her stepfather, Gottfried Brandt, her mother Anna (or Augusta) Brandt, her
brother Wilhelm Splinter, another brother Charlie Splinter, and other half
brothers and sisters, one of whom was named Louisa Brandt. If you have
any record of these additional relations, I would appreciate the copy.
I also have a suspicion that some of the people named in the St. Stephens
records who were baptismal sponsors were relatives. I would appreciate
any help in researching Anna, Christian, Theresa, Mathilde,
and Marie Heldt. Also, Gottfried
Heldt had two children by Friederike
Martin Heldt, Mina and Theodore. I would love
to find any mention of them.
One more question: Friederike Heldt and Rosafina Heldt were buried (I think) at Auszehrung.... what or where is that?
Thank you so much for this information. It is wonderful to get a chance
to learn about my past... and I've met so many wonderful distant relations.

Dear Society:
I am interested in any information that you may

A daughter, Martha Maria, was born in Hebron,
Could you search the 1850 census, and other
pertinent records that you may have for this family? I would like photocopies of these records if

This family moved from the Western Reserve of
Ohio after 1835 and ultimately settled in Goodhue
County, Minnesota. They are descended

Greetings - Here's a query for posting to your site. I'd appreciate any insight into the Feehan or Hanlon families.
I'm researching Bridget FEEHAN b.1830 in Ireland. Her father Timothy FEEHAN
was b.in Ireland, mother (unknown) also b.in Ireland. Bridget married John HANLON
in Waupun. An undated newspaper article celebrates their 50th wedding anniversary,
saying they were born in Ireland, and came to this country in the early 1850's,
settling in Wisconsin. In 1866 they removed to Minneapolis, and three years
later located on a farm in MN. They had five children, but I am aware of only 2
of their children: Timothy James HANLON b.1864 in WI, and Julia HANLON b.1867.
Please email me kctuna@earthlink.net
or snail mail Kathy Salmons,
Thanks, Kathy Salmons

As Albert was indeed born in Jefferson County, they were here! I can't find anything on him nor his parents. I am wondering if he had siblings...and possibly someone else has the name in their research, but not interested in him particularly. Or ANY other information regarding the Karl Platz family.

Hi -- How do I contact the people who are looking for Catherine Norris? I believe I know where she is buried. My great uncle Eugene O'Neill is buried in Calvary Cemetery with his wife Hannah and various other children. On the tombstone is a Catherine Norris who died at 71years of age. I wonder if she is who they are looking for? I think Catherine is Hannah's mother.
Larry O'Connor from Chicago asked for her in the May, 1999 newsletter, as well as some other researcher from the web queries. Hope this helps.
I am also looking for the death certificate for Ellen/Eleanor O'Neill who was married to Patrick O'Neill my great grandfather. They lived in Waupun for 25 years - from 1875-1901. Patrick had three children with Mary Troy (Kate, Annie and Daniel - who moved to South Dakota after his father's death in 1901), and when Mary Troy died in 1872, Patrick married Eleanor O'Neill 3 years later. Their children are Mary and William - my grandfather.
I also haven't been able to find a marriage certificate for Patrick and Eleanor O'Neill.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dear Folks, Could you please put me in contact with a local historian or genealogist
in the Watertown area? My family came to Watertown in 1852 from
Germany. Although they moved to LeSeuer Minnesota in 1860, they
somehow had to leave behind something or someone that I can find.
Surely there must have been relatives or an immigrant society that
made them pick Watertown as their new home in America. Any

Subject: Mulbergers
I
see from your website that the Mulbergers
played a prominent role in establishing Watertown. My great-great-great grandmother was Mary Mulberger of Western Pennsylvania and in checking I have
found that in the early 1800s there were just a handful of Mulbergers
in America. I am hypothesizing that most
of them if not all were related. So I wonder if you have any further background
on whether the Mulbergers in Watertown came through
Western PA where they might have stayed (between 1800 and 1848) and then split
into one group that settled in Watertown.
Thanks for your help. Here's my
website which shows Mary Mulberger under the Woodward
section of my online tree.
