Hello, I was looking through old family records and found a satisfaction of mortgage filed in Green Bay, Brown County in 1869. Since Oconto was a county prior to that date, the property is in Oconto County, why would the satisfaction of mortgagee be filed in Brown County. Purchases of additional land in 1885 were filed in Oconto County. I thought after the county was officially formed all records would be in that county. This may explain why it is difficult to find some of these old records. I am trying to locate the original purchase date. Maybe I should be looking in Brown County. I know it was purchased in either 1867 or 1868. The satisfaction is for the original purchase. Gloria
