My feelings on a list of city/changes is that they should be on each county site. I already have a list of county towns and a list for the whole state of towns and the county they are in taken from the 1895 map all right on my site. If these kinds of lists were on each county site, the researcher could find that information without having to leave the site which makes it easier and more convenient for the researcher.

Another source for finding old place names in Wisconsin, right down to the section number within the county, is the Wisconsin Postal History Society's publication "Wisconsin: It's Territorial and Statehood Post Offices", as nearly every little settlement had a post office, if even for a short while. This postal history guide, an old county map, and a county history can identify nearly all old place names and locations. Perhaps this is something each county coordinator needs to consider--creating a page with old place names, modern day equivavlents if the place name changed, a place where queries can be left and answered, place name data donated, etc. It's on my growing 'to-do' list for Adams County <G> For the sake of ideas, I worked on a place name page for the Wood County pages at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/history/zipcode.txt Joan Benner Adams County Coordinator
