Susan, I am not an expert or anything, but I am the CC for MonroeCoWI... Here is what I can pass on to you. I posted this at: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.monroe&m=589 And will send to the mailing list as well... R/S MAK +++ Reply to Susan's query below: Vernon county is directly South of Monroe County. A good map of Wisconsin can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigenweb/map.html Our Monroe township map can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe/township.html A 1910 map of Monroe County can be found at: http://www.kinquest.com/genealogy/resources/atlas/Monroe.html A 1910 map of Vernon county can be found at: http://www.kinquest.com/genealogy/resources/atlas/Vernon.html Pine Hollow is near Cashton on the MonroeCoWI map. Also, you can see Coon Valley in the northwest corner of the Vernon map, along with Cashton. So that should give you a good reference point to start from. You didn't give the names of the grandparents you are searching or I could have put them on the Surname Pages at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe/surname/ WI Census 1860-1890 Year Surname Given Name (s) County State Page Township or Other Info 1860 BREIDENBACH GEORGE Dane County WI 519 3 W.

My husbands grandparents were married at the Pine Hollow Catholic Church located in Jefferson Township. The Breidenbach family lived in Coon Valley, Vernon County and I am trying to find the relationship of the two areas. I was not able to find this information on the 1895 map.
