Please contact the Moquah Voice for more information about these individuals, not me, for I do not know them. I am just forwarding the information to this list in hopes of helping others find their relatives and ancestors. The Moquah Heritage Society has been organized for about 20 years and their publication, the Ethnic Voice, now comes out quarterly. The families mentioned are usually from Bayfield county, sometimes from Ashland county. Most of the ethnicity seems to be Slovene, with some Croatian, and some other. The Ethnic Voice 27630 County C Washburn, WI 54891 715) 373-5868 e-mail valhalla@cheqnet.net jgrek@cheqnet.net Washburn is on Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior.

Amy, Nice to hear from you again. That e-mail which you ask for where I live might be in the 3,000 uncleared ones which I am slowly trying to read and delete. Since you ask, I am in Milwaukee. You probably wrote earlier also where you live but I don't recall? Are you in Illinois, as we have a lot of cousins there? Do let me know when you'll be visiting in Wisconsin. We have all those names in common, maybe a connection will turn up.
