This month marked my 2nd anniversary as coordinator for the Oconto County WIGenWeb Project. I could never have imagined, as I struggled that first year to figure out HTML and find information, where it would take me. The second year brought the addition of the most wonderful and dedicated volunteers anyone could possibly ask for. I am grateful. Here are the new October, 2000, offerings in summary. You will find the complete listing and links at the following address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/newest.htm * 62 new and old obituaries * Town Histories for Breed, Pensaukee, Morgan and an excellent one by Gloria Olson on Brookside. * 1881 newspaper articles on family events, deaths, marriages, and births! * The list of pre-1907 marriages is complete **************** NEW - ongoing projects ******************** *Scanned page images from the 1870 US Census of Oconto County are being posted along with the surnames on each page. * Logging in oconto County - This is a history and old photos. * 149 county death dates and comments from the Diary of George Barribeau Jr., 1903 to 1971 * Look ups of the earliest familes in the upper Great Lakes from the book "Wisconsin Fur-Trade People" by the Rentmeesters.
