Susan -- have you done any follow-up on the other Romes family I found for you in Milwaukee ... was it in church records? I remember something about a link to a potential brother through baptism records. I haven't indexed anything new in the Romes line, but I did find another really great article on Jacob Laubenheimer - yet another of his many anniversary celebrations (with photo) as a police officer, and it really has as much or more bio. info than his obit.! (Who knew all this stuff was out there in these papers ;-)
