MAK and all, It is a great topic.. and one of the reasons that I brought it to the list. :-) I did wonder what you meant to say yesterday.. but since I too have those moments, and am *NOT* working on a dissertation, quilting, and county sites.. figured you would catch it! so glad you did! Being a "girl from away", I will admit that the ethnicity groups that migrated to WI is not my forte.. that's why I have all of you <VBG>. In pondering and assisting Sharon, and I would suspect that many other visitors have similar questions. Please, everyone, take a look at the Resources page with an eye towards expanding for ethncity.. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigenweb/resources.html Offer links and provide some historical background for your counties, and Kelly, and I <ducking>, would be happy to put something together!
