    1. [WIDANE] Alternative search engine
    2. Tim Stowell
    3. Here's an alternative for ya'll - For all the WIGenWeb county sites - http://www.usgenweb-search.us/WI.html For a specific other state or special project - http://www.usgenweb-search.us/ I found it quite interesting as these just focus on web sites associated with the various USGenWeb Project sites - which depending upon your query can be more specific perhaps than Ancestry. I know for myself that my family tended to hop across county lines rather than the lines redrawn around them as the census years rolled by. Perhaps your missing family is sitting just over a county line - where you may have not been looking. Tim Stowell
