Monday July 30 Milwaukee Day 17 also read thru July 27

New Today we went to Waukesha to research the Jam.... surname. I had found a reference to some in this area. We found a number of items and one on a Gul's... . Not much of anything else. I had felt that I may find a reference to my great-great grandmother Wilhelmine and son William Jam..... and maybe great-grandmother Margaret. We looked through the state census for 1855 in Waukesha, 1860 Federal census for Jefferson county. We found some Jam... and one Gul's... . We reviewed the local paper of the time “Waukesha Freemen” for all Jam..., Guls..., Kramb.... and Klink's......; some Jam..... entries found and recorded. I was not prepared to research it at this time maybe in a couple weeks when we are back here again. jerr
