Did Sauk County make personal property tax lists? These can be used as a poor-man's annual census to see if a person (head of house) lived in the area in the years between the census enumerations. They have proven useful in researching ancestors in counties in Virginia, but I don't know if this method will work for Wisconsin. Specifically, I'm interested in the years 1855 to 1861. Secondly, if there indeed are personal property tax lists for the above years, is there a local geneologist whom I could hire to do a little research for me? Steve Zuraff
