Hi Everyone, In case there are any new subscribers here, just a brief run down of what my entries are. I receive 2 newspapers weekly from Clark Co. Wisconsin (I live in CA). Each has an Old Items section which lists many many names. Because of copyright infringements, I type some information from these and mail them to the list in hope they will help someone find some information on their family. If you do find info that pertains to your family and it is in a 2 week or so period of me sending the post out, please write me and I'll send you the entire tidbit. Forgive me if you find typos :-) Take care!
