I've just finished the transcripton and posting of the History of Richland County, Wisconsin - 1884 version. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wirichla/history.htm It only took me 20 months to do... There are numerous mentions of persons born in central New York State that ended up in this county. I even found one of my own relatives, CARPENTER, that I'd been looking for over the last 15 years - landing in this county with some of his children - and subsequent generations. Many of the surnames mentioned on the Biographical section are surnames common with central New York state. If you seem to be missing a generation or a family member, why not take a look and see if like one of my missing members, yours too ended up in Wisconsin. Next begins the transcription of the History of Crawford County, Wisconsin. Tim
