Hi all, I just saw this new list referenced on my latest rootsweb review. I have some ancestors that moved to Wisconsin from New York in the 1840s. They were in Columbia county by 1850 I think. I am enclosing an outline that shows the line I am looking into. The main Surname is LASKEY and some others are McNAMARA, and LENTZ (or LENZ). I am descended through Richard LASKEY, son DAVID LASKEY, son URI LASKEY, dau GRACE LASKEY. I am looking forward to some good information on this list and maybe finding a cousin or two. I live in South Carolina, so any Wisconsin information seems like referencing a foreign country. Our library has nothing.
