Free Ancestry.com Data Base (until 7/27) Description: This database indexes over 985,000 births recorded in the state of Wisconsin prior to 1907. Wisconsin is one of few states to have a wide-spread index of records prior to establishment of a state vital records office. However, it is important to note that there will be some records at the county level not included in this statewide index. Taken from the index created by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Vital Records Division this database will prove useful to those seeking ancestors in early Wisconsin. http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4750.htm

I am looking for information about the family of Charles Dunn. (1799-1872). He was married to Mary Emily Shroeder, lived in the Belmont area and was very active in WI politics of that era. He was the first Supreme Court Justice of the WI Territory and later served in the state legislature. We have found quite a bit of online history about Charles Dunn's political activities but we have minimal information about his family and his children. My ggfather was John Dunn - one of their children I believe that Charles Dunn's brother Francis J. Dunn lived in Iowa Co. WI and his brother Tarelton may have been in the same general area. Our records indicate that Charles Dunn died in 1872 in the Belmont area but we have not found a burial site. Any other information about the family would be of great interest to us.

HI All, Sorry have to share this news with you. The Plat books are being recalled by the publisher. Four pages were placeing the wrong places. The publishers are picking the books up and putting the pages in the correct order and rebinding the books. No delivery date is promised. We will keep you informed as to progress. We still have about a 100 copies left so if you don't have one ordered you still can get one. The books were very nice and it is a shame that they were flawed.

Hi all, I am new to the list. My name is Diane Hall. I am researching Elizabeth Moyle and her children. She is found on the 1850 census in White Oak Springs. I believe her son Thomas Moyle married Ann Perry in 1851. Jane Moyle married John Truran in Grant County in 1855. Elizabeth Moyle married William Knuckey and Harriet Moyle married Michael Bruce. I have found a John Truain living with Ephraim Truian and his wife Mary in Shullsburg. If anyone has any information on these people, please contact me. Diane Hall
