background:

My name is Lisa Marie Knothe, b 1958, Madison, WI & this is my maternal grandmother's family from N WI.
I have one sister b 1961, Cara C Knothe, living. Neither of us have children.
my mother, Margery Lou Montag, b 1931 Clark Co WI, d 1965, m Richard Knothe, b 1930 La Crosse WI, living.
Margery was the only child of Genevieve N Jacobson, b 1912 Sparks, Nevada, d 1983 WI (grew up in WI)
& Craig Montag, b 1908 Clark Co, WI, d 1999 WI. Craig's mother was Elsie Brooks.
Genevieve Jacobson was the daughter of Lula Elva Page & Edward Vilas Jacobson. Lula later remarried to Struble.

So I am the great-granddaughter of Lula Elva Page of Grant, Clark, WI.
I knew Lula quite well growing up but never heard about her interesting family. She did mention she was Scottish & English.
Lula's grandfather "Walker" Page & his brother James Warren Page immigrated to WI from ME just after the Civil war.
