I am researching Thompson SHEPARD and his wife Lucretia Cynthia Barry SHEPARD. They lived in Sauk County (Reedsburg) area from 1848 - 1870. Another relative that I found on the Sauk County web site (Mike Shepard) and I have been fortunate enough (with the help of the Sauk County Historical Society) to locate many records pertaining to both the BARRY family and the SHEPARD family in Sauk County. The reason for the request of the churches that would have been in the area during the 1850's -- is because we have hit a "brick wall" in our attempt to locate the names of Thompson SHEPARD's parents. We thought that perhaps baptismal records may show not only the parents names of the child, but maybe grandparents names as well. Thank you John and Linda for responding to my request! If anyone would happen to have addresses for the churches in Reedsburg -- it would be appreciated. Regards, Colleen
