Jessica -- In revisiting this thread, I see I didn't send you the pictures I promised. Were you interested in pictures of the Joas girls? I know I have a beautiful picture somewhere of the two girls. I also have other pictures, including my greatgrandfather and his wife, and his mother. Were you interested in the two girls or others as well?

Re: Joas

I am connected to the Calumet county Joas family. My greatgrandparents were Joseph Joas and Anna Daun, and Joseph's parents were Frank Xavier Joas and Cresentia (aka Katherin) Hemauer.

Re: Joas

It's possible. I believe I only have one Frank Joas in my family tree but since my relative married a Joas, I haven't researched that line very much. Was your family from the Chilton, WI area?

My guess is that William was not born in Chilton, but in Manitowoc County. This is only an index. You would have to buy a copy, or find a volunteer to look at the birth record. The 1860 & 1870 census for Eaton, Manitowoc County, shows Patrick & Julia Finnegan with a son William (1860 census) and aka Henry (1870 census) born about 1857.

Re: Joseph Starr family in Milwaukee's German newspapers

[also posted elsewhere on this family]

Multiple family death notices were published in the local German language papers for Joseph Franz Starr and his son Frank.
"Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950).

Re: Schilling & Starr in Milwaukee's German newspapers

"... I have a Anna Schilling in my tree who was born in Germany Aug 28, 1845. She married a Joseph Starr and had at least 2 children. Frank J. Starr Sept. 2, 1873- March 19, 1905. He is buried in Milwaukee at his parents gravesite ..."

There were family death notices published in local German papers for a Frank Starr (d. 1905). There are also entries in these papers for an Annie and a Joseph, but I don't know if they're a match for your family. These are indexed in a project with the working title: "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950). There are about 40 occurrences of Starr indexed from these papers so far. There are about 130 entries for the Schilling name.

"I" for Japanese

edwardandemma — 2012-07-31 10:44:51Z

I would just call them, I find they are usually pretty good. This mistake probably appears in many other spots in Wisconsin as well, they may have a search function or something to help them correct the issue. Good luck.

Re: Ancestry has transcribed Calumet Co. residents as Japanese

daciodan — 2012-07-22 18:59:25Z

Transcription errors are pro-forma for Ancestry db's. There are endless discussions on the Ancestry Site Comments and Ancestry Improvement boards. The best use of your time would be to put in an alternate, either in the name and add some info in "explain" or a comment on the record page. This will help other searchers in the future

Ancestry has transcribed Calumet Co. residents as Japanese

BGlassel5232 — 2012-07-22 18:01:41Z

I just started looking into my cousins' ancestors named Sampson and Fowler. Ancestry.com's 1870 census for Brothertown has a number of pages where the handwritten letter in Column 6, "Color," has been interpreted as a "J" for Japanese, when it was actually an "I" for Indian. (Actually, it looks more like an F or even a 7!)
Not sure how many pages had this enumerator's quirky letter I, but too many for me to correct, one by one. Does anybody know the best way to approach Ancestry, about changing these transcriptions from Japanese to Indian /Native American?

Thanks!

Re: Marriages for Patrick Fox abt 1879 to a Winnie ? and by 1910 to a Frances

ebennett1100 — 2012-06-19 15:36:40Z

Winnie is my great-great grandmother's sister. She was born November 1854 in Ohio and later moved to Maple Grove with her parents, John and Mary O'Brien. She married Patrick Fox in 1879.
