A fairly large group of German-Bohemians settled in the Watertown area of Wisconsin starting in the early 1850s. This URL has a lot of good online data to include transcribe census for those interested in research in Racine County WIl. http://www.jansdigs.com/Racine/tables.html There is also a link to HeritageQuest the Watertown WI / Dodge and Jefferson County genealogical society web page. The free link requires an "upgraded" membership in the society. The standard membership is $15 and the upgrade is another $15 -- fairly cheap to access Heritage Quest for a year if you cannot do that anywhere near your home. http://www.dodgejeffgen.com/HeritageQuestPassword.htm I suspect that there are other Wisconsin counties as well as some MN counties whose historical societies have begun to put databases on line. Search the web with the name of a county plus "historical society" to see what you find. Please report any on-line databases to the list. Karen
