TY Dave! SOURCE: Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette, Wisconsin: containing biographical sketches...; Beers, 1901. Biography of which I hope to find either an accurately transcribed version or copy: Pages 571 & 572 Mary J. SHINOE, Mrs. Questions about the source (some of which you've already answered): _How is the bio in question placed in the book in relation to other information, (i.e. is it just an alpha-surname listing? Are the bio's in geographically relevant placement--chapter structure, etc.). _Does the book have further information on how the biographical data was acquired, (i.e. interviewer's names, dates, supplier's identity?) _Any author's/editor's notes or preface on how the subject selections were made?
