Hi Portage list, My name is Patrick Andrus from Portland, OR. I am searching for my family in Portage County, somewhere near Stevens Point. I have some information but I have been looking for the big breakthrough for several years. I will start by listing what I have and hope for the best. My ggg Grandparents were Hiram Andrus (Andrews) and Lucy Pratt. Their 2 known children were William b. June 1824 PA and Calvin D. Andrus b. Aug 8, 1835 Troy, PA. The General Land Records for WI lists Lucy Andrews on Land Patent document #11093 dated Oct. 1, 1858 for a 40 acre plot in Stevens Pt., WI. Following the Civil War, Calvin Andrus (Andrews) and his wife Lucy Aldrich had their first children, Frank Andrus b. abt 1864 and Charles Andrus b. October 7, 1866 at Stevens Point, WI. Can anyone help me out trying to locate any of these people in Portage County 1850 to 1870? I would appreciate your help. Thanks very much in advance. Patrick
