Brick wall death-

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas of where we've missed searching for a death of my g-grandfather who lived in Milwaukee through 1930 census at least, but has never been found again. I believe all the library indexes for deaths have been searched by others(not sure but I think so)and so far no burials have turned up, he is not buried with the immediate family in Milwaukee, etc. Of course, he could have gone elsewhere, but so far no trace of him where other family has gone either. ..

Does anyone know of anything or any other place or website to search for deaths of people that just seem to disappear??

The name is Johann Friedrich Wilhelm STREESE, he went mostly by Wilhelm STREESE, lived on Third Street Milwaukee 1930 with a Bertha, can't find if he ever married this person either, she could have been a relative. He was a carpenter in the local Milwaukee union but never learned English and his only remaining child Edna was adopted by an uncle (surname Zipfel) in early 1900's. He was born 1844 in Germany and emigrated 2x/ to USA, lastly 1881. He married my grandmother at Friedens church, which eventually was absorbed into United Church of Christ, but they have no record of the family after their marriage. When I searched an LDS film for the church, there was a marriage in 1922 for a Rosa geb STREESE but I haven't been able to confirm exactly where her family was either, nor find her in the marriage indexes.

So, any leads of where to search next would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you, Pam in California
