I even got some new web pages uploaded to one of the county sites, including 2 cemeteries (Laaland/Johnson Cemetery and Collingwood Cemetery) for Barron Co. < http://www.rootsweb.com/~wibarron/cemeteries.htm > I also started up a new section on the Barron Co. pages under the heading of "Family Histories." <http://www.rootsweb.com/~wibarron/familyhistories.htm> Here I will be adding, of course, family histories of people of Barron Co., and will be including photos with each, if they are available. So far, I only have one history online -- that of the Matt Arnes family of Barronett, but there will be many more added over the coming months. Now I'm gonna see what I can round up for next week... Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net
