Lisco Nebraska.....
« on: Sunday 18 September 05 22:41 BST (UK) »

Hi

         Does anyone have or know where I can find out more on the history of a town called Lisco in Nebraska.

        My maiden name was Liscoe and I am trying to piece together or family tree.
William Liscoe is the person Iam interested in as I am looking for the link to my grt grt grt grandfather Richard and it is possible William could be his brother .
   Any info will be great.
                      Thanks

Lisco is a village located in Garden County in the "panhandle" section of western Nebraska.  The Garden Co. genweb site   - http://www.rootsweb.com/~negarden/place.html  has little to say about it.  The village was named after Reuben Lisco who once owned the land upon which it sits. He was an early cattleman in the area who owned about 40,000 acres and was president of the Lisco State Bank. The post office was established 26 July 1909.

Thanks Erato

             Rueben was Williams son .

William is listed as being born in England on the 1880 census but I have found him elsewhere as born in Ireland.
His date of birth is 1824 ,my grt grt grt gradfathers is 1822 so I am looking for the link.Will look at the site and see what I can glean.
                      Thanks

Tazzie,  Do you have the 1870 census?  I looked up the 1880 for the family, then found them in 1870.  That census says William is 52 and born in Canada.  Let me know if you want the transcription.  I also found several of the children in the 1900 census.  Let me know if you need them also---Genealiza

Hi Genealiza,
 
             That would be great. As for the Canada entry we think that is where he entered the country.Someone has said he left for America but 2 years later travelled to Ireland where he married Martha,
      If you would mind sending the info and I can have a dig around and see what else I can find

                      Many thanks

Tazzie,  I suggest you look at <www.rootsweb.com>.  Search the family trees and just put in Lisco and died in Nebraska.  There is quite a bit of information there that you might want to read.-----Genealiza

Wow thanks Genealiza, That gives me lots to follow up on.
   All of those children to chase up .I havent tried rootsweb yet as only just started to follow this branch .The name is so unusual there has to be a link some where .
  I have found them mentioned in the Annuls of Wyoming
so will have to find port of entry and follow the passage west.

                     Thanks loads
