Query 0902201001
"Johannes Pedersen EISHAUG and
his wife Andrea Gundersdatter SAUG came to Jefferson
Co., Wisconsin from Telemark in 1853 with three small
children. At least one child, Peter (b. 1855), was born to them in Jefferson
Co. By 1860 they were located in the Stockholm area, Pepin Co. (1860 Census)
and they are buried as John and Andrea PETERSON in Maiden Rock (Pierce Co.). Johannes' parents, Peder
Olsen ROLIGHEDEN (b. 1793) and Inger Steensdatter EIDSHAUG (b. 1781), are supposed to have
emigrated with him. I can find no record of their deaths in Wisconsin. I
believe they may be buried in Jefferson Co., but I don't know where. I have been told that they were members of
the Pine Lake Church. Have the records
of this church been published? Mange takk!" Kendall Mellem

_____________________________
So today,
I had a few minutes to spare and stopped at the Dodge/Jefferson Counties
Genealogical Society. My intention was
to learn a bit about John Bhend, but instead the
mushroom factor kicked in. Obviously,
you don’t spend just a few minutes in a genealogical society, not if you have
an inkling of investigative curiosity for anything historical. Within minutes
of my arrival, several helpful people brought me Plat books, old city
directories and obituaries. Not only did I get information on our guy, but I
now have a list of previous property owners back to the 1860’s and a fixation
to learn more. [reference: 04 09 08 email]

I have one
complaint to make . . . every time I visit your website I find some new
information that is of interest to me. Outstanding. I will never make it to your library so I
know you only through the website. Keep
up the good work. [reference: 03 09 08
