FAG is a search tool to assist, however I do not recommend using it as a "source" for genealogy. Simply because of documentation errors I have seen, some contributors are simply producing numbers and accuracy is not important. I do link family after verified through "document-able sources". In hopes it helps others find their families.

I have found that there are some fantastic contributors that have already documented my family so for me it's a lot of updating existing memorials.

The majority of my family is in Brown County WI, and in Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery, De Pere, Brown CO WI. **I have a plot map*** The records are kept by St. Francis Parish office, the contact is very part time 20 hr per month. The records handwritten, some in Latin, from 1850's to 1890's are scarce they are being back-traced due to previous person's lack of record keeping, then there was a fire when records were kept on site. Making it very difficult since most headstones were wood, metal or the weather has deteriorated them and no longer legible. The office has records from aprx. 1880's (as of Feb 2017) Latin records have been translated incorrectly, (IE: Lambaptist Roder is really Jan Baptist Rodaer, burial 1868, also Frank Scray buried 1893 is not the person buried, but the purchaser of the plots, Frank Scray passed 1918 in same section plot next to the above all ancestors.) They have part time staff records can only be searched by staff, the office is very helpful but they only have the part time record keeper, she does her best. I am hoping to collaborate to correct or fill in gaps with them.

Allouez Catholic Cemetery Chapel & Mausoleum is staffed full time, extremely helpful, they also had a fire aprx. 1918 and are re-constructing records, original burial was 1822. They also have the cremations of the current "Potters Field" all are placed in the Mausoleum.

Duck Creek Cemetery is no longer active, but maintained, there is a memorial of aprx 80 stones in the center of grounds, FAG has 104 burials documented, church website states aprx 145 burials, missing approx 45--grounds are kept up, only stones were moved, all original burials exist. It's a small corner lot on Velp Ave Green Bay. St. John the Baptist Church Cemetery has information on their website. St. John the Baptist is operational, if not found on FAG.

Fox Hills, that was associated with the actual military fort named Fort Howard located along the Fox River originally part of Fort Howard (which was the original name of Green Bay) The actual Fort was built in 1816 and decommissioned in 1853, only 4 buildings exist in Heritage Hill State Park, and the remains of the original Fort and cemetery were under research as of 2010.

Fort Howard Memorial Park & Mausoleum founded in January 22 1862, was first named Fox Hills Cemetery, they also had a fire aprx 1918 and records destroyed. The name changed to Ft. Howard Memorial Park aprx 1940.

St. John the Baptsist see above Duck Creek

Woodlawn Cemetery is staffed full time, staff prefers appointments to meet for record, a non-profit cemetery. Will obtain a section/plot map in near future Feb 2017. Their first burial was aprx 1866, construction of cemetery was in progress, but clearing trees took a few years per office staff.

Brown County WI did not require birth, burial and death records until 1907, so between 1870 and 1907 it is hit or miss, also the type of record available if found is based on the type of form used, (IE: 1863 death certificate there are 3 people per page basically a column, most information was left blank, name and age of person, recorded date)

Newspapers can be found at the Green Bay, Brown County Central Library on microfilm and the papers changed names through time, some only printed once a month or week prior to 1900.

De Pere Historical Society has a great searchable newspaper archive from 1885 forward as well as a large collection of memorial/prayer cards, I am a member of and can research during their business hours. Not available online.

I follow FAG guidelines.

NOTE: If a cemetery states "no photos can be taken or not posted on line, charges can be filed and can go to court. I researched this after calling Woodlawn Cemetery Green Bay WI because they have had complaints from family finding pictures online of family headstones.

Good Luck!

I am researching Van Den Elzen, Scray & Rodaer Roder, Quatresols (Cattersol),Kaster, Doherty, Vanden Langenberg, Matzke, Denissen, Pennings Decleene, Smet, Stein, Wouters, De Groot, Van Deurzen. Mostly coming from Belguim settling in Brown CO, Outagamie CO & Northern WI, some Minnesota.
