Tom, Thank you. Very kind and encouraging. By the way I had spotted that sometimes others give good web page sites for research...The Wisconsin Local History & Biography Articles online is one I happen to like, yet it takes sometime to read articles. Slow going.....The basic search search function isn't all that great with using names yet, locations sometimes bring up some good information. If you know of an area in mind to search.....I had found a LeDuc article using it an Anointe LeDuc - Buffalo, WI some old settlers convention had his photo in the article. Anyways, http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wlhba again you got to have sometime to sift through and look and read sometimes just prodoment names are listed and if you fully read articles sometimes it is useful and stumble onto something good.
