I agree Kim. Each and every time I have used them (via snail mail), they have provided information beyond what I have asked for in the $15.00 fee. Their snail mail address is: The Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, Inc. Attn: Janice Hildebrand 518 Water Street Sheboygan Falls, WI 53085-1455 Ph: 1.920.467.4667 One of the my research families (Karl Schulte) has a donated family tree from 1730 in their files that us descendants donated. On the Sheboygan County Site, there is an eMail address but I do not have it at the moment. By the way Kim, Lyn in Winter Haven (FL) has found the dark brown mustard (Düsseldorf mfd. by Roundy's). Tastes pretty good on those Johnsonville-soaked in beer brats! Happy 4th everyone!
