Can anyone help me with genealogy for "Lawrence Konrad" and "Edward Duwe"?

Question

I've looked everywhere for Lawrence. He was my great grandfather, lived in Oshkosh, WI. Same with Edward. Bonus points if you can find out info about his wife Sylvia (Maiden name, parents, etc.)

thanks!

Answer 1

I see Lawrence KONRAD, age 10, in the 1920 census of Winnebago county, Wisconsin, Nekimi precinct (the first precinct southwest of the city of Oshkosh), microfilm roll T625-2023, page 21, Enumeration District 158, sheet 8B, line 81.

father Fred G. KONRAD, farmer, age 36, born WI; mother Meta, age 36, born WI; siblings Margarite 13, Irwin 12, Robert 7.

The same family is in the 1910 census in Oshkosh city, except your man is called Lorenz KONRAD, age 6/12, and the brother Erwin.

They are all in the 1930 census in Nekimi precinct.

I see Edward DUWE, age 17 in the 1920 census of Oshkosh at 271 West Algoma, microfilm roll T625-2023, page 210, E.D. 184, sheet 2B, line 71; father Herman F. DUWE, age 42, born Germany; mother Alma, age 37, born WI; siblings Henrietta 16, Alma 14, Elinor 12, Herman Jr 11, (maybe Olga, hard to read) 9 2/12, Edna 5 2/12.

The same family is at 255 West Algoma in Oshkosh in the 1910 census, except the family name is spelled "D_WEY" where _ could be most any vowel.

In the 1930 census Edward is living in Oshkosh and is married to a woman whose name begins with S and is age 25.  His parents and 3 of their children are still in Oshkosh too in 1930.
