Third in a series of genealogical books compiling data from early
newspapers published in the Vernon, Crawford, and Grant counties of
Wisconsin, Genealogical Events from Newspapers for Crawford, Vernon
and Grant Counties, Wisconsin 1870-1901 is a straightforward archive
of raw facts. Entries list individuals alphabetized by last name, with
a note on the newspaper in which information bout them appeared and a
brief text summary of the genealogical data bout them. A wealth of
extra information rounds out the listing of names, including a set of
newspaper articles of particular genealogical and historical interest,
maps, and much more. An easy-to-use index rounds out this excellent
resource that takes the guesswork out of extracting useful information
from old newspapers.
