Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, was named after Chief Wau-wau-tae-sie of the Potawatomies. The land was sold to the U.S. Government by a treaty dated 1833. The first permanent settlement was made by Charles Hart and followed in 1835 by seventeen settlers. Wauwatosa has dubbed itself the City of Homes. The original boundaries were Greenfield Avenue on the south and Hampton Avenue on the north; 27th Street formed the eastern boundary and 124th Street the western. The Wauwatosa News is a weekly paper, now called Wauwatosa News-Times, that initially came out every Saturday. It was first published in 1885, but after only a few issues were published it folded. It has been continuously published since March 11, 1899, when Charles R. Perry and Lysander R. Gridley formed the Wauwatosa Printing Company to publish the Wauwatosa News. The only known copy of the first paper was found at the historical society. The book starts with April 1, 1899 and goes through May 24, 1904. Some of the entries include: births, deaths, marriages, accidents, sketches of political candidates, business information, crimes, sports news and many other interesting tidbits about Wauwatosa residents. Some of the early residents of Wauwatosa include: Rev. Crawford, Emerson D. Hoyt Lowell Damon, E. D. Underwood, Rev. S. Merrill, Rev. William Talford, Deacon Joseph A. Warren, Hannah Hoyt, as well as many others. There is also a list of Civil War Volunteers who served from 1861-1865. A full-name index is included.

The genealogical model has a long-standing history in Western thought. The contributors to this volume consider the ways in which assumptions about the genealogical model-in particular, ideas concerning sequence, essence, and transmission-structure other modes of practice and knowledge-making in domains well beyond what is normally labeled "kinship." The detailed ethnographic work and analysis included in this text explores how these assumptions have been built into our understandings of race, personhood, ethnicity, property relations, and the relationship between human beings and non-human species. The authors explore the influences of the genealogical model of kinship in wider social theory and examine anthropology's ability to provide a unique framework capable of bridging the "social" and "natural" sciences. In doing so, this volume brings fresh new perspectives to bear on contemporary theories concerning biotechnology and its effect upon social life.

Описание: This quarterly journal, commonly called simply "The Register," is certainly the oldest, and arguably the best, genealogical periodical published in the United States. Within its volumes researchers will find some of the most valuable genealogical compilations and source record transcriptions to be found anywhere. It is difficult, one might even say foolhardy, to attempt to do research on New England families without reference to this important series. However, copies of the original editions of these volumes are becoming increasingly difficult to find, so Heritage Books has reprinted the early volumes of this important serial in order to make them more accessible to the rank and file genealogist. Each volume has an index, and in addition, a comprehensive index to the first fifty volumes is also available. In the description below it is only possible to touch on some of the main articles-each volume also contains much additional material. Genealogies: Elwell; Noyes; Yale; Hoar; March; Adams; Axtell; Parmelee; Gaylord; Barker; Fowler; Stone; White. Biographical sketches: Hon. William A. Richardson; Henry Thayer Drowne; Hon. John Cummings; Capt. Edmond Blood; John Fuller of Ipswich, Massachusetts.; President Edwards; Dr. John F. Pratt; Leonard Thompson; John Oulton; Lt. John Skinner. Family Records: Lee; Brewster; Saltonstall; Gurdon; Sedley; Knyvet; Robinson; Gage; Bushnell; Blynman; Gaylord; Goddard; Frost; Barrett. Other records: Deaths at Edgartown, Massachusetts; South Hampton New Hampsuire. Church records: Inscriptions at Great Barrington, Massachusetts and more. (1899, 1998), 2015, 51/2x81/2, paper index, 540 pp.
