Dave, You've just given me a huge break-thru! Thank you! In the Census Records, with all the "William Winney's," half the time they would include a middle initial, half the time they wouldn't and at least one time they used the middle name for the man's first name! Anything I had read about William J. Winney in a couple Census records had not given me any assurance that he was "mine." So I will look more closely at him now... Just getting me to the parents of Sara Elizabeth is a tremendous break-thru... And I have already sent in my $3.00 for all the Winneys of Grant County. I'm looking forward to that information too! I was thrilled to receive the newspaper wedding announcement which I will send for. I am so very grateful... Kathleen > Per the Grant Co. WI marriage records: > > William H.
