These pages are so interesting for anyone researching family from that area during this timeframe. I am researching the CADY family. My Great Grandfather Hial CADY went to Vinland, Winnebago County WI in about 1845, from N.Y. He and his wife Polly and their children, Julius V, John B, Elizabeth J, born in N.Y. and David C, Mary E, Azalia, and John M, born in WI lived there until about 1869 when they went on to Iowa. John B. died there and is buried in the Brooks Cemetery and Julius V. married Clarissa C. Coats there who was the daughter of Dennison Coats who also lived in Vinland, Winnebago County. I am looking for the parents of Hial CADY. Thanks again for your help! Janet

Thanks for listing that site! Found numerous listings of Wilbert Peaslee. After fifteen years I now have his death narrowed down to between 1882, when Carolyn Peaslee and "husband" sold some land, and his being missing from the 1885 census. If anyone ever runs across his name I sure would appreciate knowing what happened to him. He is not in the death index, or listed in the obituaries. Anne in Washington

AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR Wisconsin and an excellent presentation.... http://libtext.library.wisc.edu/SurveyNotes/ first, read the page... then read background material then click on township reference diagram and make a note about how a township is numbered into sections...notice the flow of the numbers..and how you cannot flow into a bordering township because of this numbering scheme.... then click on land survey information in the left column notice that there is a LINKS in the left column.... click on this later, but realize that it takes you to several other nice links...If you have problems with the education of township surveying, try the cyberdriveillinois link... it offers a slightly different approach and check at your local library for a basic surveying book.... read it, dont study it, and as you flip thru and scan the pages you will find that it is quite logical...the effort to make 'neat squares' over large distances thru all sorts of terrain being the hard part.... As you read these field notes... notice the time of year that they are being made... (don't you wish you were there with them?) and in that surveying book, read a little about meandering so that you know what they were doing.... IF you have difficulty with this information, it may be because of the township NUMBERING, so take out a very good map of your area of interest and see if you cannot notice on that good map, the section and township lines - the number of the sections usually at the center of each section intersects. It will be great help to you.....or call your local township and get a copy of their township map as it is today. and then after you have read the material and digested it.... click on search a map of wisconsin will appear.. . then you can click on the county of interest... (I WOULD SUGGEST clicking on the county of interest, and not enter in the T and R numbers....) Learn a little about how the mechanics of the pages work...notice if you want a big page to display that you can elect this on the left side..... and you can page forward at the top or the bottom of the page if you wish... and to print a clear copy, click on that display for printing.... as you page thru with the page icon, make a mental note of the actual page numbers (usually at the top of the field notebook) when you see the display of contents list for your county.... understand these two things... the EXTERIOR means the outside perimeter lines of the township... these had to be determined first...notice almost 2 years ahead of the sections.... and then INTERIOR, those lines that delineate the 36 sections.... if you see these sections on a contemporary map and they do not appear totally square... you will find that the northern and the western sections were where the slack was caught or 'chopped' ... I have seen some sections 1,2,3,4,5,6 just mere slivers of land.....not the one square mile of norm. THIS website IS the result of A LOT OF repetitious WORK where easily one could get disorganized inthe process.... each scan is named accurately as to the contents of the pages...it is a wonderful piece of work and saves many a long drive. NOW YOU ASK what can this do for me..... what it can do for you if yours are a early settlers is give you an idea of what the surveyors found when they were traipsing all around where your homestead was.... and who knows, maybe your people let them camp in their barn or around the campfire in their front yard... maybe your family gave them a warm place to be or dinner after a long day.... you might be able to determine this based on the section and quarter section intersects.... and it can give you an idea of the lands before your people came so you have first hand accounting of lands by someone (actually five guys) who saw it with their own eyes and made notations about it.....this is a nice thing to add to your family history narrative (the one you are planning on writing, right?) and you can see the earliest of detailed maps available to us for this state..... if you have any questions or suggestions or comments... check the site for the contact address..... http://libtext.library.wisc.edu/SurveyNotes/Search.html . excellent job Rob....

Thanks for your tips! I knew I couldn't find my way back to that site again as I had been to so many researching. I did have to go through my history to find the page but it was worth the time. The page that I found so interesting for anyone researching family in that time frame in Oshkosh, this site has many familiy names listed. It is quite long, in a pdf format but you can go back to the public library page and break it down into sections. http://www.oshkoshpubliclibrary.org/citydirs/1857/1857full.pdf Thanks again for your help!
