Hi Donna, You have cited Elsa Banta's book "The Banta Family" in your posts to the List. Others may be interested in this book as a source, so I did some checking and wonder if the following is the book to which you refer?: "Banta Pioneers and Records of the Wives and Allied Families" by Elsa M. Banta, Soldier's Grove, Wisconsin (1983) [Reprint by Higginson Books, Salem, Mass. 1997] Regards, Pam Sears
