James, Stick around. The announcement about books concerning Lafayette Co. WI is of interest to many of us who have early settlers in JoDaviess Co. Lafayette county borders Jo Daviess Co. (15 miles from Galena) and many early families had connections to both counties. My relatives first settled in Gartiots Grove, just over the Illinois border, before they moved to Galena. The early lead mines were in both counties. The information in the message was appropriate but the link to the commercial site was not. Ralph Anderson Boulder, CO [email protected]
