Looking for information about Jack A Buckstaff born sometime between 1845 and 1855 (most likely) born in New Brunswick (is that a Wisconsin town?) and raised in Oshkosh. He married Sarah E. Montgomery, listed as a native of Sparta, in Lincoln,NE in Oct 1875. Jack went on to become a very successful businessman in Lincoln but very little is known about family connections. Their daughter, Clara born 1877, was my great-grandmother.

I found a lot of Buckstaffs and Montgomerys in your cemetary listing of Ellenwood - there are probably more elsewhere. Any suggestions about where to go from here?

Surnames: KOLB

Date Posted: 17 March 2003

I am looking for information on the Kolb family. My great grandfather and grandmother are Johann and Paulina Kolb. They owned a farm just east of the Berlin town line, which they bought in 1867. I have a copy of the deed. Both were born in Germany.

I am looking for a positive connection between my great grandfather Johann and his parents. I have a marriage registration which I believe is for my great grandfather Johann's second marriage to Anna Louise Jeske, May 28, 1881. On the registration are names of my g grandfather's father and mother, Johann and Catharina Kolb.

Buried in the Nepeuskun cemetery is a Louisa S Kolb, died Dec 23, 1861 age 1 y�s, 11 m�s, 1 day, (daut of J & P Kolb). I believe the J & P is probably for Johann and Paulina. Next to Louisa is the grave of John G Kolb died Apr 12, 1859 ae 58 yrs. I believe that he may be the father of Johann, and my great great grandfather. Also nearby is Fred Kolb, died Sept 1, 1889 aged 78 yr�s, 5 mo�s, 26 da�s. I believe he is Johann�s brother. I know my grandfather Fred had an uncle Fred. All are in Section A.

I am also looking for the grave of my great grandmother, Paulina Kolb. She died between 1876, when my grandfather Fred was born, and the 1880 census. She may be buried in the Nepeuskun cemetery also, but I�m not able to locate the grave. We have no info on Paulina.

Do you know if there are burial records or any other info on John G Kolb, Louisa S Kolb or Paulina Kolb? If there is any info on who had them buried, paid for the plots, etc, that would be helpful also.

Also, to the left of John G Kolb are two or three spaces that have no tombstones on them. Are they empty? Are they owned by anyone?

If there is a better person to ask, please let me know or forward this to them.

I did search marriage, birth and death records at the Berlin library, Green Lake Co recorder's office and Polk library. Also the 1855 Wisconsin census and the 1880 federal census.

I am trying to research a John (Jack) Dombrowski from Menasha, WI He was born about 1898-1900 and died possibly in the 1960's. He was in WWI and married in Texas (Waco/Bremond area) after the War. His wife was Victoria Kubickie (Kubicki) . They had one son, Gaylon Dombrowski. I do not know John Dombrowski's father's name. I do know he had a sister named Anna and a brother, Harry Dombrowski. He and Victoria divorced when their son, Gaylon was about 3. It was about 1923-4 when they obtained a divorce.

I am Betty Fabich, the granddaughter of John and Victoria (Kubicki) Dombrowski. My father was Gaylon. Gaylon was killed in a car accident in Marlin, Tx. in 1949. I have never met or known any of his kin from his father's side. I am 56.

John may have died in an institution for alcoholics somewhere in WI. I do remember my grandmother telling me he was very ill.

Anyway, if you hear of anyone answering that description, I would appreciate the news. My grandparents were both Polish Catholics. My grandmother later married again to Raymond Staskey of Bremond, Tx. I have many photos of the Dombrowski family but no real connection.

Would not discuss the circumstances of running away. He migrated he said on a wagon train to Dallas and married my grandmother and had 12 children. Oshkosh seems a likely place since he said he was German. Surely some publication mentioned his running away. As a mother I would be frantic.

I'm inquiring to see if anyone has any information on the Gilberts that lived in the Neenah area around the early 1900's. My grandfather, who was Frank Gilbert, emmigrated to the US around 1905, and was a border of a house owned by John & Mary Bosch. He lived there around 1910. The home was on E. Franklin St.,Neenah.
He also worked at Neenah Mills.Thats all I know about him.

I am looking for my grandparents grave. I was wondering if you could please help me with this, or if you might have any more info on St. Johns Cemetery in Menasha. Their names are Joseph & Julia Sczenski. Joseph died on November 18, 1930. Julia died on July 9, 1956

Any information about this cemetery would be helpful. I believe it to be Catholic. They were definatly Polish.
Thank you,
