Hi dear All I know is that all of the censuses i have of my Dvoraks in Muscoda, say that the township they lived in was Muscoda Township and the city of Muscoda... I don't know anything about any Iowa County connections. Thanks for trying..... sincerely John Dvorak ----- Original Message ----- From: Aleise Oyen To: WIGRANT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [WIGRANT] Grant Co. Plat Maps John, I have gone through the Plat book and do not find any Dvorak's listed. I look at each piece of land in Muscoda Township and Castle Rock Township and didn't find any there either. If you relatives lived in the town of Muscoda, they would not be listed since a Plat map only shows country landowners. Could it be that their land is actually in Iowa County? The border is right along side the town of Muscoda.

John, Unfortunately the Plat Map only lists farmers and country land owners, not the town dwellers. That may be why I was unable to find them for you. I am so sorry, I know the elated feeling that something more may be found only to have my hopes dashed by lack of information. I would try a town directory for Muscoda, that might list them.
