Name: Barbara Biggs
Email: [email protected]
Location: Waterford, Michigan
Comments: George Ruloff my g.g.g. grandfather immigrated to the United States in 1851 from Germany to Racine County, Wisconsin. He met and married Bridgett O'Hara about 1856 in Racine County, who also immigrated in 1856, from Ireland. 4 children (Mary, Louisa, Hannah, and Henry) were born in Racine before the family left the area for Michigan sometime after 1860, since they were on the 1860 census for Racine county, 5th Ward page 189. The 1900 Michigan census says he was naturalized. I'm wondering where or if the naturalization records exist. Would appreciate any help in locating this information or anything else anyone could offer. Thank you in advance Barbara Biggs

Email: [email protected]
Location: Greenville, Michigan
Comments: Hi! I'm researching the family tree for my grandchildren. I had originally begun my work in the 70s for my children, but lacked the time. I am looking for information on the Morey family, who may have lived in the Burlington area in the early to mid-1800s. Frank Morey, my husband's grandfather, was born in Burlington February 13, 1882 to Charles and Amelia (Potter) Morey. The family moved to Eureka Township (Greenville) Michigan, where Charles died in 1919 and Amelia died in 1902. Charles was born in 1842 and Amelia was born Amelia Louise Potter April 10, 1846. Any information you can provide on this family would be greatly appreciated. In turn, I would be happy to provide more information on Charles and Amelia, should anyone need it. Thank you so much!

Comments: I am Researching the William Spang that is Buried in the St. Louis church cemetery in Franksville. He served in the civil war out of Milwaukee in the Cavalry. There are a lot of other Spangs buried there. A William Spang that was my husbands Grandfather was buried there in 1965-born in 1897. I'm sure this civil war william is a link . Any infi is greatly appreciated from someone who knew the family. "Uncle Bob" Spang dealt in horses in the same area. He died in 1986

Location: Neenah, WI
Comments: Great Website Burlington! I'm researching the John and Minnie (maybe a nick name) Jacob family who came to Wisconsin in 1855, possibly directly to Burlington. One of their sons, Frank, married Josephine Melchert who was born in Wisconsin. A family member had recorded that Frank died in Burlington on January 28, 1928, and Josephine died on January 27, 1927, but I have not been able to confirm this. They may have been members of St. Mary's Church. Children of Frank and Josephine: John, Robert, Sophie, Clara, Ida, Bertha, George, Louis, Andrew, Otto and Fritz. Any information on the Jacob family would be appreciated.

George and Betsey Roper Tincknell were Burlington residents in the 1850's census. Betsey's sister, Jane Roper Evans Mrs Samuel Evans) also lived in Burlington. W.S.

Several children were born in Burlington including Jane Tincknell Aug 1849, Frederick George Tincknell, July 1851 and Amelia Tincknell, July 1853. Amelia may be buried there. These families left the Burlington, WI area for Dyersville, IA mid-1850's. Any information would be appreciated!
