Many central WI settlers had ancestors with Chicago roots, or descendants who later went there for work, so this website might be of help to someone. The names with identifying information and instructions for claiming a document can be found at http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/press/58.cfm Newberry Library will receive any documents unclaimed by the first of the New Year. with best wishes, Joan M.
