Forwarding for your info. If you are looking for German ancestory in mid-central WI, this is a great resource. I have found that many of the families moved within Wood, Portage, Clark, and Marathon Counties, so it is always great to be able to check the resources of neighboring counties. Be sure to let Shelley know what a great job she is doing, and how much you appreciate the time and energy she is expending so we can have FREE data at our fingertips. Thanks Shelley.
