My g-g-g-grandparents were Joseph and Cordelia Randall. I have to believe that we are talking about the same people. My grandmother has Cordelia's last name spelled (Warden). It is just too coincidental. They had a son named Warren, who was my g-g-grandfather. If it is the same couple, I know that Joseph is buried in Readstown, Wi. You said that Cordelia married again? Would you be willing to send information regarding any of this if you believe it to be related? I would try to help out in any way also. Thanks for your time, hope to talk to you again! Tammy J.

Greetings, Are there land sales online other than those of the BLM for Southwest Wisconsin? Ron HABEL from Platteville Now in California
Ron, The BLM records are the only one's I'm aware of. For sales between individuals, your best bet would be to order and review microfilm at an LDS Family History Center if you have on nearby. David
