Posted on: Query Forum for Marinette County, WI Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/Marinette/558 Surname: BRUCE, RACE ------------------------- Dorothy, I am the coordinator of the Marinette County WIGenWeb site and also have my own site on the Peshtigo Fire. I saw an article on Augusta Bruce at the Peshtigo Fire Museum, but it was undated (!) so I was going to try to find it myself on microfilm, but haven't got around to it. One of my ongoing projects is to create some sort of master database of known fire victims and survivors by indexing information from as many sources as possible. I don't believe anything like it currently exists. Would you be interested in contributing any of the information you mentioned to be posted on the Peshtigo Fire site for the benefit of other researchers?
