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 it is within a couple weeks of the posting and you find something on a family member, please write me and I'll send you the entire tid-bit. Take care!
